It looks like PayPal isn't the only company that's planning to start accepting crypto payments, music and podcast streaming service called spotify is currently treading crypto waters with a new job listing, the full news is in the link below

https://new.bitcoin.com/is-spotify-looking-to-add-crypto-as-payment-method-this-job-offer-suggests-it/

It was great news but i was not too surprised by such news anymore, actually after paypal confirmed that it would enter this market i thought it would be the beginning of more. Big companies are interested in this area and indeed it is still appearing every day, I see on the news that big companies are gradually becoming interested in bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

At last spotify would consider adding Bitcoin to their payment method that was what I'm waiting for, honestly I'm getting troubled using bank cards and the likes and I find crypto more easily rather than these regulated payment methods.

I'm not sure if this is good, I think that such companies harm the decentralization of bitcoin, more and more companies own bitcoin

I haven't used spotify until now. But if time permits and they added crypto to their payments. I might avail a subscription to them. Some influencers that I follow habe podcasts into that streaming/music platform.

the decentralization of bitcoin was left behind from the moment that centralized exchange and  KYC began to exist.

---

they are still thinking about whether to accept it or not, while paypal is already implementing it in practice. I would say that we should not give importance to things that are still in theory without any date and concrete thing. we already have paypal which has its rules very hard but at least it is putting things into practice and bringing more exposure to bitcoin... if the next giant wants to have credibility then come up with concrete things

That is great news for us, so we can know that much big company is finally interested in bitcoin. It will help the adoption among them, and they can attract their friends to join in bitcoin. Sooner or later, we will have another news from the other big company telling the public that they are now accepting bitcoin as a payment system. When many big companies adopt bitcoin to the payment system, it will get the government's attention, and they will review bitcoin to be the next payment system.

Hi please post the right link the link you posted is not working or redirecting to a non existing page, but if the report is true I consider this another milestone Spotify is a big name in the music industry and I hope to see their competitor doing the same thing, because there is really a market for music lovers who are also Cryptocurrency investors.

Nice news, this I think is the chain effect of Paypal's implementing bitcoin in their system. I'm an avid Spotify subscriber and this will surely benefit many of us because I'm sure almost every people right now uses Spotify.

Exactly, plus if we really wanna see cryptocurrency specially bitcoin being accepted by every merchant, companies and government in general centralization will be a must and inevitable in the future.

Several years ago there has been a statement like this in several countries, and in the end it is very difficult to do in every country, even until now I have never seen a shop or cafe that accepts payments in crypto currency, at least not just nonsense, at least there are proof of this statement, and it's actually good news but if it's just a discourse it's useless ..

First time I heard about crypto payment from some companies was in adult website and now it's on music streaming it looks like it's been starting to accept cryptocurrency. I was really glad to hear this.

Let's see if it will make it easier for everyone and not only for yourself in terms of payment, because so far not many people know the crypto model of payment methods.

Try to explain how they will break Bitcoin decentralization later? do they intend to dump Bitcoin in the future? and I personally am also not sure about it, it just all depends on their intentions.

This is the best news and i hope that will come true. Im an active users of spotify and that will be a very good thing to see spotify will be adding cryptocurrency as payment to the service.
More adoption will come and crypto will become mainstream.

It looks like this news came from the legit site and i can trust this news.
I hope more companies come soon.

If this is true, then this is very good news for the entire cryptocurrency sphere, because a lot of people around the world use spotify, and I am sure that if such a huge company like spotify will start working with cryptocurrencies, then this will bring the company a lot of money and many new clients and of course partners.

Paypal have took the giant step already so it's not surprise that spotify is planning to join crypto train from now on, by 2021 I'm positive that many third party companies will keep implementing crypto service on their platforms, this is just the beginning

last news i heard was paypal then their comes the visa who also wanted to create own token that is based on erc-20 blockchain and now the spotify there's no doubt that it's just a matter of time before bitcoin was fully accepted by the merchants.

I think that there is a need for a universal solution for crypto payments. Similar to Paypal and Scrill in the fiat world. It would speed up crypto adoption in traditional businesses.
Is there any known?

the link is going Not Found page.

it's true that when paypal had decided to get involve in crypto, its eventually going to influence companies to also accept BTC and other cryptocurrencies. it's a good option to pay btc to spotify but will the current users of spotify buy bitcoin just so they can pay BTC on spotify? its very unsure. If spotify creates a new token instead, it will introduce a new world for new users.

This is very cool, the end of 2020 is straightforward with an abundance of good news for cryptocurrencies! This will most likely allow Bitcoin to rise above $ 20,000. But you need to understand that someday this will be replaced by bad news, which is still silent.

Its just a jov offer, i dont think that we will see crypto as payment method there soon

Can you guess the bad news that is still silent? try to tell you here so that everyone can always be aware of the predictions of bad things that will happen in the future, because I myself can't predict the future at this point.

It doesn't matter what their intentions are, I am 100% sure that they are collecting a database of people who have bitcoins and their transfers. If someone breaks in and steals this data, all identities will be revealed.

Well, those suggestions are also opening the opportunity for them to take a look into it. Once they see that it's coming through and that would possibly work for them, we may see them adopting it soon.
Just like PayPal adopted crypto, it's like also an offer or suggestions from the community before when they've joined.

Well, the reality is that big companies are now taking the opportunity to consider Bitcoin as another mode of payment as they know that people are now preferred for cashless transactions. Their limited time to go outside make them push to go online.

Now, they want to compete with others in the market, then they need to comply with the demand of the buyers otherwise their clients will choose those who can offer them. And could we  say and think that this pandemic has a positive impact on crypto space and this is a stepping stone that people will use Bitcoin and any cashless transactions than fiat.

That job is available to make the platform will have a gateway to the crypto and libra stable coin. that means the company has an intention to add libra stable coin and cryptocurrency as a payment option to use the spotify's service.
You must know that some companies are starting to search the employees to create the gateway towards libra and crypto.

There will be a new rush of companies that wanted to take advantage of the cryptocurrency trend and start adopting them to their business model. There are news coming out that the US is planning to regulate the cryptocurrency market soon and all these companies wants to add the trending business model which is fine.

Are you sure adult sites and music streaming have accepted crypto? If it is true that the company has accepted crypto payments, you must provide the source of this link as proof so that everyone knows that it does exist and looks real, not just the nonsense you are saying here.

Another breakthrough and addition to the milestone of cryptos are being set on foot because of this acceptance. Now that several big companies are now accepting cryptos as mode of payment and transaction, it will encourage other big companies as well to deal with crypto as their way of getting and transacting online payment, it will definitely gonna happen.

This thing is just sooner or later. Big companies and investment funds are aware of the profit and the sustainable price increase over time of Bitcoin instead of other types of investment. Especially when USD and too much cash is printed on over the world.

Actually Paypal had already accept Bitcoin so They were not Planning because it's already Done.

And about Spotify that i must admit being a loyal user for long ,i did not anticipate this that they are going towards crypto,Now i have more reason
to stay using the service and not going to any site.

Indeed Good news for the community and added positive this Bull market.

These are some proof that cryptocurrency is moving forward in day to day basis regardless of the world pandemic condition. Cryptocurrency is continuesly changing the world where the traditional system moving to advance approach through digital ecosystem.
Pretty sure some day all aspects will adopt cryptos payment to make things new.

The momentum for mass adoption is already in sight, but I think it's too early to say that we are close. crypto still has a lot of things they need to solve regarding regulation and it is true that if many large companies are participating in crypto and making crypto mainstream, I think that the government will have to make regulations that fit the application of crypto.

more big company accept bitcoin as payment, more adoption will come true and we can use our bitcoin in any stores or shopping application . by joining big company in crypto market ,it will attract their user to join here too and maybe some of them will be crypto investors. this is the organic way to create demand and better than just instant pump.

More big companies are doing this new development following the new trends of new payment system as they see how great crypto payments has been used by many with convenient features.
 
 Spotify is one of the famous online streaming  company that suited this digital payments with subscriptions. Users can now definitely enjoy the perks of promotions and subscriptions using crypto online payments without linking their credit card, etc.

I am not really surprised that this is even in the news anymore. It is either you make a publicity stunt by shouting "crypto" all over the place and then not working on the project, or working on the project and making it happen. Many of them choose the former, and I don't really consider these kind of news as world changing for crypto in general. It's either they do it or not, but if they don't do it and they are shouting crypto all over the place then that is just pathetic.

it looks like paypal acts like an eye opener to many other companies especially the bigger ones to take the challenge of accepting bitcoin and cryptocurrency on their own dedicated platforms and now this is the latest which is spotfiy .

spotfity premium do only have a limited payment method and i think it was only credit cards , the reason for me to not subscribed on thier premium plan because i dont have one and other users do also feel that way and good thing they have listen to what others suggestion .

More & more large companies, corporations & institutions are going to incorporate bitcoin into their payment systems & investment portfolios/holdings. They either get into bitcoin or get left behind, it’s a simple as that.

its more good news for crypto market  and will not stop in this spot. good news will still continue till we see many giant company developt and adopted blockchain tecnology or maybe use existing blockchain in market. blockchain and crypto already look as finance industry which is has same potency or even bigger than commodity market.  

This is really great news and I will love to read more about it. Involvement of the big company accepting crypto has a means of payment will really promote the crypto world and also the publicity about this will go more viral

Op's link is not working but as I have searched about this, this will be a great opportunity for crypto to be known by more people especially that big businesses are now looking at crypto as a good means of payment option. Since we have recently heard about PayPal, we already predicted that more giant companies will also follow and be open to crypto. I believe that this can be a big step forward to bitcoin adoption in the future if these giant companies will continue adopting crypto.

Crypto needs company that's focusing to provide the daily needs service. We know that spotify being used by a bunch of people everyday. I guess there are lots of members here are using spotify too. Once it will be fully implemented and everyone can pay their spotify uses crypto. I think that will be very amazing to see that. I hope we can also pay more online service with crypto.

if crypto currency is increasingly in demand this will make the path easier for all platforms and will increase more trust for investors and all well-known platforms will have more confidence in crypto currency because it already has a big name that deserves to be more famous not only that it all seems real as time goes on crypto is more advanced and will be more and more desirable by all major companies.

The enthusiasm of the public and large companies towards crypto and bitcoin is increasing. This pandemic period is quite a benefit to the adoption of crypto and bitcoin. Because in this pandemic many large companies recognize crypto and bitcoin as payments for their companies.
I think Spotify has thought about this long before to accept payment services with crypto. And they know that bitcoin is a crytocurrency and a new style of investment asset with rapid growth that cannot be underestimated. Because in fact, bitcoin can grow with a good value from year to year.

That means bitcoin will have more support from large companies, corporations and institutions, which can also help the adoption process growing more.

I am sure in the future, not just companies that will add crypto as a payment, but we might see what happens in the local store to make people use bitcoin directly to buy something using bitcoin.

That's a great news since some big companies are now starting to add cryptocurrency as a mode of payment which is for me a really big deal as a cryptocurrency user we don't need cards or any regulated third party finance services.

I just read through the article indeed its a great news for all crypto enthusiasts , looks like 2020 is not that bad after all considering the rate of adoption has increased massively during a year when everything went side ways, after PayPal adopted crypto it looks like every company wants to follow the trend so they won't be left behind, looks like Spotify users will be getting payments in form of cryptocurrency real soon.

This is a very good news for cryptocurrency. Many other big companies like PayPal are currently supporting. In 2016-17, when there was no support from any company, the price of Bitcoin has crossed 19000 Dollars, now many companies are supporting Bitcoin. Above all, Bitcoin has a bright future.

The awareness is getting spread more quickly, digital currency is the future of money. Big organizations will soon join the race as adoption increases.

When a large payment service like PayPal decides to integrate cryptocurrency, other companies may be interested in thinking about it, which is why new companies incorporate it into their payment systems. This is really good news and as a result, other companies are gradually using cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin Ethereum through their transactions making it popular and popular as a currency. This will increase the demand for cryptocurrencies as well as increase their value, which will encourage investors to invest in cryptocurrencies. Which will create a possibility for cryptocurrency and will continue to benefit the users.

Spotify? Didn't expect it though but it didn't "surprise" me cause surely many popular platforms should follow it slowly right now
I don't use the platform a lot so it's still a meh for me in the end.
Maybe gaming platforms would do like Steam.  ::)

I don’t think this is good, because in this way you lose decentralization and anonymity. I understand that over time, all anonymity disappears. In the society where we live, anonymity is used for evil.

It is a great news ahead that another big company like spotify is interested to add up on their payment option accepting crypto. It is just so nice that big companies are getting interested on crypto just like what the PayPal did on their platform. Looks like we are expecting more companies to come although spotify have not given any final decision regarding that matter, still a good indication that they are being interested on thinking upon having crypto adaption on adding crypto as one of the payment options within their platform.


Indeed. Despite of what we have all suffered because of the pandemic, still great news are coming ahead of us which is literally good to boost up our hopes even many tragic and suffering events have happened this year 2020. The pandemic have really opened a good gate for opportunities to crypto since many are adapting from fiat to cashless and recognizing crypto as one of it.

Spotify would be a lot bigger news, and netflix is up next as well! The reason why paypal wasn't a big deal to me was the fact that there is absolutely no logic that would make bitcoin price go up, since you can't really spend it that well neither can withdraw it, it is 1 to 1 ratio where people can buy but also sell so it is not helpful at all, if you buy a billion dollars worth of bitcoin today and increase the price, when you sell you are selling 1 billion dollars worth of bitcoin again too, so you are not helping anything out.

But when spotify accepts bitcoin payments that means people will be using their crypto on something and that increases the price, as long as spotify doesn't end up selling right away, that is going to help out the price a lot.

It is really a good news for many crypto enthusiasts that a major company is having an interest with cryptocurrency and it would bring massive changes in the way crypto is being viewed by mainstream corporations. If people can use cryptocurrency to buy songs in spotify then it will give more value to the cryptos, then we might see a permanent increase in the value of cryptocurrency. We start with songs, and then we end up buying cars and houses using cryptocurrency.

This is good news for the crypto industry, and more news is coming in the future; I hope every company will adopt the crypto industry. The Crypto payment gateway adopted by Spotify will help its users, and I hope other music companies will also adopt the crypto payment method. After adding a PayPal crypto wallet, many companies are thinking about crypto payment methods, and you will see more news about crypto payment methods soon.

of course paypal is not the one, its only the beginning and for sure a lot of huge company will accepting crypto as payment method in the future my friend

Great big companies now are adding Bitcoin in their business I was hoping that someday grocery stores, malls and other businessmen will accept cryptocurrency as a mode of payment just imagine paying on anything using Bitcoin.

Still uncertain tho, that job posting means they are not even implementing crypto within their system yet which means it could be a total failure or success and they gonna consider on the perspective of their business.

The road of crypto adoption is not always a straight smooth way there's gonna be some roadblocks including regulations and law. Though, it's gonna be great if the really accept crypto payment.

Many big companies are totally accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payment soon since PayPal accepts crypto in its network; that is why mass adoption has truly happened this year of 2020. Many people have adopted cryptocurrency because of its purpose that has become the best alternative payment method due to its convenience and security as a valuable virtual currency.

Rather than adding as payment option, more companies focus on bitcoin as an investment. Things are slowly getting changed with more centralized firms getting bitcoin integrated with their services. The very beginning is the PayPal, MicroStrategy, Grayscale. More small stores functional online have started to add bitcoin payment access. Maybe the growth from the small scale will make a big change in the market with time.

Can‘t open this link，but this is a incredible news, it means more and more big companies begin join in crypto, not just watching. Although i understand they just come for money, but who can blame them, quick money is one of the  advantage of crypto.

The action of giant company paypal will lead to massive global adoption, no wonder in next few years more companies will jump into cryptocurrency space. These companies saw opportunities, Bitcoin as one of the best performing asset of the decade it could become the talk of every investors just like stocks and gold.

Late but at least good to see that now big companies are taking cryptocurrencies positively this is definitely a good sign and obviously a positive sign for Bitcoin as well now things are going on interesting way hopefully whenever Spotify will start accepting cryptocurrency payments it may leave a positive impact on Bitcoin.

Some food chain companies are now accepting bitcoin payment here in my country specially pizza hut , this could be a great news it can be an eye opener for those other business that bitcoin can be trusted and can be listed as their a payment method too,  so it can be easily for those who haven't credit cards or don't want to use their personal information just to buy goods, Later or sooner our economy will adopt such wonderful crypto currencies.

When a large company accepts something, it spreads all the information about that asset among their huge number of users. In this way, their users are more attracted to that asset and are interested in buying that asset.

So imagine how much the demand for Bitcoin will increase when a huge number of their users learn about Bitcoin and when they start buying Bitcoin. Already companies like paypal have added bitcoin, so we can expect the rest of the big companies will add bitcoin in the near future.

Crypto payment methods will be inevitable in the future, but actually the big platforms are going with the stream as crypto users are growing up. The platform only tries this method to attract customers among crypto users.

the fact that paypal started accepting bitcoin will trigger other companies to do so. But they will find some obstacles to accept and adopt bitcoin. Let us take an example : amazon. Amazon avoids accepting  due to Bitcoin's notorious volatility. then, the market volatility risks associated with holding crypto.

It's awkward situation wherein iam bit confused whether I should be happy that more and more companies are accepting Bitcoin which will boost the adaptability of bitcoin for common people who are yet to use Bitcoin but at the same time i am afraid looking at the terms PayPal implemented which reduces bitcoin's decentralisation features and some or the other day companies will gamble with Bitcoin and crypto currency for their own benefit so I think we should worry if corporates holds huge chunk of bitcoin and then play around with it for their profit.

Crypto has come to stay and it feels good to see that people and platforms are now understanding the potential it holds towards the future, that is, with the world going digital it is also fit to leverage on digital currencies in order to make life easy, simple and fun.
In the same way, it is getting more interesting as time goes on, and it looks like all these platforms are taking a leaf from PayPal and that is, it is better to get involved with crypto sooner than later, through this way retaining their users while attracting new ones. I also believe that more and more companies, platforms and organisations will gradually come on board to leverage on their respective choiced crypto in order to achieve their aims and it is clear that anyone still doubting on the potential of crypto will be left behind.

Most of the technology, software, online or digital companies and businesses want to implement crypto for long but they were just hesitant due to unclear regualtions and policies now that most governments and regulators are allowing crypto worldwide so I think the overall scenario has turned in favor of crypto so now we will see more companies and businesses announcing the same.

Lot of companies already have their eyes on bitcoin and crypto because they saw the potentials of bitcoin but since the government is not supporting crypto, they feel hesitant too to integrate crypto into their system. But when Paypal decided to accept crypto as mode of payment, hesitations were gone and now, other big companies are slowly turning their heads into bitcoin and hopefully accept bitcoin too. We are now starting to fulfill the goal of bitcoin, realizing its mass adoption and accepting it as a legal currency.

Spotify? I love to listen spotify but I am not using the premium and besides they have no ads in their platform to make them also earn for. However, there are few and I think it would be enough from them to earn from these ads. Anyway, upgrading to premium would be most likely to happen when they will integrate cryptocurrency in payment option. As a spotify user and at the same time crypto user then it will.be easy for me to go in premium now. It is more likely they reaching out to their users to get the spotify premium.

If this will push thru, a lot of its users will definitely go for it. I mean use crypto in their transactions and like your case, you will go to premium. And I believe, accepting crypto in their platform will not be very long. I am seeing next coming year to realize this. With PayPal's move, I guess some companies are now looking at the possibility of including crypto in their payment option as well.

That another good news and I could see it as an advantage because there are millions of Spotify users around the world. I guess they're choosing cryptocurrency these days because they could see now that it's more convenient for everyone to use it as a mode of payment. I'm sure that if it happens, lots of competitors and other huge companies would also accept cryptocurrency.

Spotify need first to solve the issue of having weak security on thier system. There are some clone spotify apps that you can play music without ads and it is look like you are using premium account. Many users using this spotify hack application and it is free and they dont need to pay for premium subscription. Even if they allow crypto as payment if some of their users are using the clone spotify apps they will always choose the free hack spotify apps and i see no big impact from this news if spotify cant fix the problem.

More institutional adoption of bitcoin by big organizations like spotify is a welcome development  this is the needed catalyst that will boast and bring bitcoin into more limelight Spotify giving their viewers opportunity in selecting bitcoin as an alternative means of payment is indeed a nice idea, this is coming at a time when the price of bitcoin is heading to a new ATH, obviously there is going to be an impact on it price just like when the news of PayPal adoption of bitcoin filtered in, I believed 2021 is going to be a remarkable one in cryptoworld with many companies follow-suite spotify by taking a bold step towards adoption of bitcoin.

It's not as long as the transaction will be using segwit and it can be confirmed very fast compared when the node or service was not using the segwit. I have been using segwit as a way to send bitcoin and that needs a very small amount to pay the transaction fees.
People should understand about that dude. It's not too early but it will be very good for the service to use a coin with a good scalability

I have already seen a lot of companies that were accepting Bitcoin as payment and also those that were using it as a payment for their staff. When I started seeing all that I knew that it was just a matter of time before we start seeing bigger companies start doing the same, and that’s what we are seeing now, bigger companies are getting involved.

I know very well that right now none of these big companies would like to be left behind, when they see others accepting crypto and hiring crypto engineers they will like to do the same thing, and not stay and be the only ones left behind the development.
