Conspiracy : Microsoft released fake news so many bitcoiner will know that microsoft accept bitcoin, so they just have to apologize and they'll see more people use bitcoin as payment
What do you think?
Sure.
Definitely possible that not many Bitcoiners weren't aware of that MS accepts Bitcoin as payment solution.
Not everyone in the btc space is hanging out in the forums or reddit.
what you are saying is correct , it may be right also that microsoft wanted the world to know that they are also dealing in bitcoin as payment for their products for this only this false news have been spread. As i also just came to know about microsoft accepting bitcoin as payment.
