I just noticed that on Steam, I went to purchase something and as a payment option Bitcoin was there. I tried it and it is extremely easy and simple. How long has this been there?

Has it been a month already? I could have sworn it was only a week or two ago. Either way, Steam now fully accepts Bitcoin. Bovada recently started accepting Bitcoin, too. Probably doesn't mean for those who aren't interested in online gambling, but for those who are, Bovada is huge. Largest poker site in US and third largest worldwide.

Maybe,1 or 2 month ago steam accepted payment with bitcoin, I think steam know the bitcoin market is profitable and many users bitcoin for now.and Why bitcoin payment in steam is very easy and simple because it's steam offer to bitcoin users and make bitcoin users interesting with this.

Another good step for bitcoin! Looks like every services and products sold online will play along with bitcoin as mode of payment. Steam for example is a big company which might pull other company to use bitcoin. Payment using bitcoin is on hype now, i would not be shocked if it will be shown in world televisions.

that is what i said the first time i heard about this great news, it will take time for people to realize this even those who already know about bitcoin. and the rest will also notice bitcoin and the usage will grow over time.

This was one of the most anticipated events, we Bitcoin gamers were waiting for, and I would have thought that they would have announced that with some big special deals or discounts? I think they might just be testing the water to see if there are a need for this option.
We need to support this, or it might be taken down as a payment option in future. Even if you are not a gamer, just buy some games as some Xmas/Birthday gifts for someone who might be one.

This is precisely the point! Only technology readers actually know Steam added Bitcoin to payment options, there was no publicity, no pop-up when u start Steam saying you can now pay in Bitcoin..

Steam accepts Bitcoins On April 27 Valve itself turned to BitPay payment service with a proposal to integrate it into their gaming platform. The company was primarily interested in is to allow Bitcoin payment players in emerging markets - India, China and Brazil, where credit cards are used less frequently than in developed countries.

This is so great that steam is introducing the bitcoin to the gamers. Allot of publicity came for the butcoin while there are many others who doesn't know anything about the coin these years and days.

Such a nice thing that steam uses the bitcoin paying method everybody can now buy games with their bitcoins. I think if steam made this possible other big company's will follow steam to the future of the bitcoin.

it is not just about how frequently they use credit cards. most of the steam users are minor (younger people and many kids) and all over the world none of them have credit cards because they are underage or it is too soon to have a credit card so they either have to pay using their parents or they can easily use bitcoin with their own wallet.

It is perfect that you can now use Bitcoin as a payment method on Steam and so there will be also more people that is going to buy more on Steam because it is now acceptable. There are now more people that is using Bitcoin as their payment method and that is perfect for the currency itself.

Exactly! That's what I was not thinking. Yes, this is also the cause of integration Bitcoins. Bitcoin is still a great thing, for all ages. However, there exist games that are intended for persons over 18 years.

It has been there not to long ago I believe that it has only been a month or so. But this will definitely benefit them both without a doubt. With this both Bitcoin and Steam can become more and more popular.
