Didnt know twitch accepts bitcoin & dogecoin did you? :o

lol yeah just realized that. Thanks for the info. So twitch partnered with Xsolla to enable hundreds of new ways to pay for Twitch Turbo subscription, and Bitcoin is one of it.

What is twitch?

bitcoin could come in 2015 but not doge  ;)


edit: missed that  :D

Giant site for gaming of the virtual kind called E-Sports (the other type)
League of Legends DOTA etc are the ones you see there
Good to see bitcoin as an option

Thanks for noticing that! 
This is great information. 
Next year everyone will accept bitcoin :-)

Time for Western Union.

Didn't knew to be honest , nice to see that ;D
But it's really weird if you ask me , since Amazon bought Twitch , why the implent Bitcoin only on Twitch & not adding it to Amazon  where is it's obviously much more useful :'(  :'(

Maybe they want to test bitcoin first on Twitch  check out how many people will use bitcoin for payment, and if content they will add bitcoin also on amazon.

And as next Steam should follow.
The online gaming market is huge and there's a lot of potential for cryptocurrencies.

i'm waiting for steam, real steam not steambit, which is not up to date

wow, this is nice

2015 is going to be the year of bitcoin

It's probably the reason, the Twitch audience is more likely to welcome bitcoin than that of Amazon. What's more, there might be a significant number of people using BTC for payment on Twitch, but this won't be applicable to predicting people's behaviour on Amazon.

mmm ... Probably not , at least not anytime soon , here is what the boss said : https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/gabe-newell-accepting-bitcoin-steam-purchases/

People keep learning slowly, that in order to position yourself as a business dinosaur you need to not accept Bitcoin. Soon the naysayers will not have space to hide.

Lol didn't know that... it's really awesome bitcoin is becoming coming bigger every moment

Yea, it's great... I use it to watch Starcraft tournaments and people playing it socially.

They should implement a ChangeTip plugin, to tip people, while you watching to appreciate good play.  ;)

Like watching public TV and paying for something you like.  ;D

Old news  :D

Do they sell any physical goods you can purchase with BTC or just digital?

They don't sell any goods at all :-\
Twitch is a live streaming services, mainly for e-sports gaming. They only selling channel subscription

LET ME KNOW WHEN STOP AND SHOP TAKES BITCOIN...

Twitch is gaining popularity and has a lot active users.

No matter what they sell, it's always a good thing to have another service willing to accept Bitcoin.

Really? didn't know that either.
Can streamers receive Bitcoin donations though? if yes that would be really cool.

Actually pretty cool. Hopefully some big streamers start taking BTC for donations

This is good news.
the proper way to introduce bitcoin is through something they like.
and millions of people in every country like the game of various ages and occupations.
