Good to hear, we need to target these payment processing companies harder, from a companies POV it is easier for them to go through a 3rd party rather than get their heads around the whole BTC concept. This is why we need companies like this, bitpay etc.

One company at the time and we will be literally on the moon with BTC price. It will just keep spreading and it is just matter of time when it will become more associative to average Joe.

I'm not sure how they expect people to find out about it when there is nothing on their website. Even searching "bitcoin" returned no results.

Global does not accept bitcoin. They signed a referral agreement with Bitpay. They will be sending Bitpay Referrals.

Yes! One company at a time! That's exactly how we need to go forward. We don't necessarily need big bubbles in order to get the attention of the media. We need a slow but steady growth that'll enable Bitcoin to get more and more traction each day and makes people realize that it isn't some stupid scheme or play-money!

Just caught this myself so this is the first time I am hearing about this but this is great to hear. It may only be one company at a time every so often but the fact that it is now happening is great as we need more companies like this to start accepting bitcoin. Hopefully many more big companies will start to follow in suit.

This was what I was recalling when I heard Payza accepts Bitcoin now as well
Its great to hear all these payment systems taking bitcoin now if Webmoney and Perfectpay do as well we will have a great selection of services to choose from.

The more companies accept bitcoin as a form of payment,the better.It's all about the distribution and worldwide acceptance so any kind of news regarding that is good.
This is another step in the right direction.

The subject on the OP is pretty misledaing.  But I can't figure out from the cnbc article - are they just referring merchants to Bitpay, or are they partnering with Bitpay to provide an integrated fiat/credit/bitcoin payment solution to merchants?

Oh, damn it! I confused it with this other company http://www.globalcollect.com/ it's used by Steam. If Steam accepts Bitcoin, the price will rise to the moon.

Global Payments is a service in fact similar to BitPay, it's a payment platform to help merchants integrate several payment options, they can handle the payments and send money to the merchant directly in $USD to his bank (or whatever payment method the merchant prefer). Now that has partnered with BitPay, Bitcoin will be another payment method that ANY merchant using their service can integrate easily. Sadly, Steam and many other companies are using the other payment platform that I mentioned on the first line of this post, but now that a competitor has integrated Bitcoin, probably sooner or later Global Collect will accept BTC too.

You say Steam is under Globalcollect and that they will accept Bitcoin? If that happens price will go over the f*cking moon! Imagine how many games would use Bitcoin rather then PayPal, this is amazing if it goes through.

Yeah, Global Payment is one of the most important competitors Global Collect, so if that move makes them to increase their popularity, it's very probable that Global Collect will follow their example. And By The Way, I know that Steam is using Global Collect because I used PaySafecard to purchase some games, and on the PaySafecard account in the purchase order was listed Global Collect instead of Steam.

As all the established payment and financial companies start integrating Bitcoin, all the "basic infrastructure" type start-up businesses will get out-competed. Many of them were just replicating what already existed in the establishment. If you're a start-up, develop technology along the cutting edge of Bitcoin 2.0, Dapps, etc.


Title: Re: Global Payments Accept Bitcoin
Post by: dadaas on August 19, 2014, 04:10:07 PM
It is quite possible that recent Bitcoin price drop is related to this news. Maybe they are trying to crush price down so they can buy lots of Bitcoins before they launch their new payment system and then when they launch it, price will raise again and they will sell their Bitcoins and make profit.

That's good news. Through Bitpay and Coinbase many companies accepted BTC. I think BTC will get more users.
But still, I don't think the price will rise because of this though BTC will get a good attention. They will probably dump BTC to get a currency they need. Correct me if I am wrong. :)

Well, I already thought that possibility, the problem is that when a merchant uses BitPay it don't even see the BTC, instead they are paid in fiat by BitPay. In a similar way when a merchant uses CoinBase probably will dump automatically the BTC for fiat... In other words, the merchants using these platforms are not really accepting BTC, they are not changing their minds about the way we use money.

So, as a result, if the volume of merchants using these solutions increase it will result in more "sell orders" of BTC on the exchanges this means the offer of BTC increase and if offer is more than demand the price will tend to drop.

We were very excited about this news because we though that this will be good for BTC but, maybe it will affect negatively the BTC instead.
