Those apps (iOS and android) are very userfriendly to pay with at all bitcoinstores!

finally now i can buy all those beautiful arcana on dota 2 and csgo items, if it goes mainstream who knows maybe we can see a 1000 USD per Bitcoin again.

I can't really see Steam having that much of an impact on the price, if any at all. Reaching $1000 will cost probably more than a year from now. And even if we do reach that price within a year, who says it will stay at that price level?

Who says it could not rise above $1000?
Yeah yeah.So many question and barely any answers right?!

Glad to see that they're catching on, something like Steam is a great use for crypto.  Instant delivery of goods and a hugely reputable company makes them go hand and hand.  Now if only they could add a few % discount similarly to G2A..

I am talking about from now till a year that I can't see it happen. But that doesn't mean that I think it will never happen. At some point it will, but as I earlier said, can't really see it happen within a year.

this is a great news for bitcoin.
because there are a lot of players online who are using steam and buying games and all kinds of other things like skins and items, and a lot of them are already interested in bitcoin and a lot of the rest are nerds who will be interested in bitcoin soon.
which means only more adoption.

[Financial_Genius]

Oh finally , I will buy games for BTC , and I'm sure that BTC price will up!

[Jhanzo]

finally. as an avid gamer and bitcoiner I have longed for the time when steam will finally accept bitcoin. now people won't have to convert their bitcoin to other payment methods just to buy something on steam.      

[Snail2]

Adoption is good, and Steam can be be a fertile ground for getting more new folks onboard.

True

[lyth0s]

PC gamers are in a good position to adopt bitcoin. They will help us cross the early adoption chasm.

[Psi]

great news,  the more places that accept it as payment the better ! especially gamer markets like this.

[maokoto]

When I read those news, I thought to myself "what? it wasn't already in Steam?". Anyway, great news.

g2a and penguin already accept it, if you want to use bitcoin

apparently people don't evne know that you could already buy games with bitcoin...

[beastmodeBiscuitGravy]

All aboard the chooch train!

More ways to turn BTC into dirty foldin' money, then handing to an ambivalent vendor... mewn!

[elux]

Guys.... I just bought a game... on Steam... using Bitcoin.

FUCK YES!

Goodbye VISA.

I wonder if steam adoption will cause a bigger drop then overstock adoption did..
My guess is that it will, because there are probably more young gaming enthusiasts among the bitcoin fanatics, then there were furniture enthusiasts

[fearlesscat10]

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 kid is already doing it: https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/3zeq86/16_year_old_making_2250month_need_suggestions/

This is why bitcoin has more advantages for the teens and for those who can't have bank/visa accounts/cards.
About that guy, it makes $2250 per month but the profit is somewhere 50% which is still great.

Agreed. This is also true for my country (PH) where it's not that easy to get a credit card. Bitcoin opens possibilities for online and overseas trade.
