This is very good news, bitcoin is getting more and more used by more and more people. Steam is doing a great job, adding btc payment is the best they could do, since I don't have to use paypal any longer to buy items/games. |

At first I was quite skeptical when hearing some rumors about Steam accepting Bitcoin, but it looks like it will become reality very soon. Great for Bitcoin and great for gamers!

Definitely.When g2a implemented bitcoin there wasn't a huge increase of bitcoin price at that time, but if steam do this then bitcoin pay method will be available to millions of users which i think will buy bitcoins not only to spend but also to invest/hold. |

Later this year: Teens (without access to VISA or Mastercard) selling Steam items on the Steam Community market for BTC. Bitcoin will be their first "bank account", so to speak. Way to onboard a generation.

This is fantastic news, we should see a rise in the bitcoin userbase I'd think. We might even see a bit of a climb in the price.

Man, it's nice that Steam take control of payments in their own platform without letting publishers have any say into that like declining certain payments as publishers in Humble Bundle do with bitcoin most of the time. As long as a publisher gets money in their account they shouldn't care what form of money was traded to acquire it... This just makes the life of customers more inconvenient.
But then again, the fact that steam doesn't want to hold bitcoin at any time, and even goes as far as to advertise that proudly, is a bit concerning.

Well the first step is made. They accept Bitcoin as payment option. So far so good. And if Bitcoin should continue to rise the next years they might rethink their decision about holding Bitcoin or not.  |

About that guy, it makes $2250 per month but the profit is somewhere 50% which is still great. |
