Bitcoin is Going Mainstream in 2015


Microsoft is arguably the most innovative and profitable corporation of all time. Founded nearly 40 years ago in an Albuquerque garage by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, their once tiny software company has been generating billions of dollars for decades. And as their most profitable year draws to a close with revenue in excess of $86 billion, the tech giant is ready to start earning a new type of currency.

...

Why Bitcoin? Why Now?

    “Eventually mainstream products, companies and industries emerge to commercialize it; its effects become profound; and later, many people wonder why its powerful promise wasn’t more obvious from the start.
    What technology am I talking about? Personal computers in 1975, the Internet in 1993, and – I believe – Bitcoin in 2014.”

     – Marc Andressen, Co-Founder of Andressen Horowitz -

Although Every ppl knows the fact bitcoin transaction is instant, cost free , border less, and no charge back, it is really aggressive to make the decision of accepting bitcoin payment especially for the big giants. When Microsoft will make a lot bitcoin sales, Apple and Google will regret they didn't accept bitcoin payment early.

Apple has ApplePay, Google has Google Wallet. If Microsoft has a similar offering, I'm unaware of it.

Whoever starts off early will definitely have the advantage. I hope next will be google integrating this into their biggest profit generating business that is their adversing. It will be cool to be able to bid on keywords and get paid as well on btc for those into publisher program.
