CHOO CHOO! "Bitcoin payments are coming soon to Steam"

[elux]

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.

Having steam and hopefully other big parties to accept bitcoin payments is a very good thing.
Both for the eco system aswel as marketing for bitcoin. Big brands showing trust in bitcoins atrracts people.
