[TipZ]

Great news! Bitcoin need more popular company that propose Bitcoin as a way of payment.

Is it still not available in some countries? Well, good luck for that guys. Because fortunately, it's available on my country.
I want to try my first transaction today, but don't know what to buy

Anyone else did see this? I was excited to see this because I was at work and I couldn't be one of the first to do it, so I watched it and thought damn, it's really fast. It's in fact instantaneous to get 100$ on there and start buying games, skins, cards, anything you want. Bitcoin works great for mainstream use now and it will only get better, in a couple of years all those kids will be buying with the Bitcoin they make on the internet with their content.

great to see that,look easy for us to purchase something from steam,but i wondering why that video realesed on March,but people talk about steam accept bitcoin on this month.

[Rubberduckie]

wow I heard the rumors but didnt realize it was going to be so FAST!

this is good news guys. Kids/adults everyone nowadays loves video games.

Before Steam ever accepted bitcoin I purchased a game from another Steam member buy giving him bitcoin directly, and I thought "why the heck doesn't Steam do this directly."  I was really excited when I heard Steam was going to be accepting bitcoin.  It is the perfect company/platform to use bitcoin.  A bunch of gamers are the perfect audience to start using bitcoin.

Is this why the bitcoin price is going up?

BTW, there's no proof whatsoever that this is the "first" bitcoin-steam transaction. It may be the first on YouTube, but defenitely not the first actual transaction. Because the minute steam made the announcement, I logged into my American alt and deposited. Hah.

I don't think this is the only reason because Bitcoin has been going up steadily the past 2 weeks. There are some other factors in play here.

I am excited though to actually spend Bitcoin on Steam games now! Will make some of this Bitcoin I collected useful

There is a guy that works in Bitpay in reddit, and they are saying that every country in the world will eventually have the Bitcoin option enabled in steam. If you are not still seeing your Bitcoin option in your steam, you could try by closing steam and reseting it to force the update. It appeared to me a bit later than most people.

I just heard the news about this and I'm very excited.
I read this on twitter https://twitter.com/SteamDB/status/723230754113724416#tweet_723230754113724416

So now bitcoin is usable on steam? That's awesome because if they make it so you can sell things on the market too for bitcoin, then bitcoin will be easier for people to get and more well known.

EDIT: Oh wait nevermind, I just realized you can't cash out on steam.

the main reason for bitcoin price going up recently might be due to the upcoming halving. steam may affect too but i don't think it hold a big role.

This is good news for my son and i think we can easily buy games and skin or anything on steam store.. without going to any store here in my country.. honestly my son is always buying a credit from steam to buy some games or any stuffs in steam. he is addicted gamer.. and now its vacation he is always on his desktop computer to play..so instead to give him money to buy outside i will redirectly buy in steam instead..

I don't think steam has anything to do with it.It is either the halving of new money coming in.
Steam accepting bitcoin is very good news though.

Now that's sucks...
Why the hell they made regional lock? WTF?
Total nonsense, are bitcoins from lets say Ukraine less valuable than those from USA?
Obviously not, do they afraid of something? If so than what?
This just looks to me like a form of nationalism/racism. Big words i know.
But, WHY?        

[_Victory_]

This is the best BTC adoption story I think in a couple of years.
This is fantastic for us.

[jpdorn]

In the video the transaction was instantaneous, will Steam through BitPay, accept 0 confirmation payments/deposits? Or it was just a test, since he was testing for BitPay. And anyone know when this will be avaliable in others countries?

[BitcoinPaw]

Lord Gaben thank you for this beutiful payment system. Now gamers that use bitcoin will be able to pay for favorite games with favorite currency, so sick.
