Microsoft Excel supporting Bitcoin !

[nara1892]

wow fascinating! I actually do not really like to count or to convert the price from bitcoin to my local currency, so it will assist me, really.

I hope microsoft will launch the new feature as soon as possible. I am looking forward to using it.

[ethereumhunter]

finally microsoft decide to supporting bitcoin and its a good news for us as we know that microsoft company is one of the big company and if this is happen then we have a big company that will give support for bitcoin and they expand their business with crypto currencies too.

Not a surprise, Microsoft accepts Bitcoin payments too. I was able to buy stuff for Xbox with my wallet a while ago. Now I regret it because the price rose very fast up, but it was my first transaction I had completed. Adding Bitcoin to Excel is good, especially for businesses and analysts. I tried to make a spreadsheet in Excel and it was a pain to try to make it work by my own. When using satoshis, it always gave me errors.

Crypto currencies are now a part of our financial systems and Bitcoin is the Crypto currency that are being supported the most. The BTC

symbol will become mainstream next to other payment options soon, so Microsoft is going where adoption is going. It is a sound decision to

take the technology that started all this and incorporating it into their financial software.

is it me or Microsoft has been supporting bitcoin payments since like 2014?
and yes,Microsoft Excel integration is going to be huge,going to put bitcoin out there for general public
next step is Google Adsense introducing bitcoin payments

[Mometaskers]

Finally they're recognizing it. Really nice to see BTC there along with all the other currency symbols. Seems Microsoft has been accepting btc from years ago but this official recognition is going to be big. It maybe just be the BTC symbol but soon we'd be seeing it everywhere and the public would recognize it as a legit currency and not just some token for shady transactions online. And to boot BTC just exceeded $1000!

i am not sure about the exact time they started it but yeah they have been having bitcoin payment for a long time.

and yes,Microsoft Excel integration is going to be huge,going to put bitcoin out there for general public
next step is Google Adsense introducing bitcoin payments

that would be a dream come true. google adding bitcoin payment to Adsense is more than huge, it is ultra gigantic

[jak3]

This is the Coolest News I got Today. It Made my day. its for a very small position but i can say everyone that the currency i am using is present in your excel software :p

[Zadicar]

Adoption is already spreading and some companies are already recognizing it already which means price or value of bitcoin would eventually rise more in the future.Very glad to hear that excel adopts bitcoin and this is really a good news and hopefully some would do the same thing too.

[aolley]

I think this is almost as big of news as unicode support

[crossabdd]

we only can wait for next news from microsoft and maybe microsoft is the big owner of bitcoin that we don't know so they want to supporting bitcoin. if google adsense is accepting bitcoin as the payments, then it will explode because as far as i know, google adsense is the best programs that is really recommended by most people in online publisher.

Microsoft is working on BitCoin format support in Excel. When this feature becomes available, users can use Excel to track, calculate and analyze Bitcoin data using native Bitcoin number formatting options. This new feature will be first rolled out to Excel 2016 for Windows, Excel Online, Excel Mobile for Windows and Excel Mobile for Android.

This feature is expected to be available in the first half of 2017, both cointelegraph and MSPowerUser talked about this.

The sounds great, hopefully, other biggest companies will starting for seeing the advantages of bitcoin soon,

But Microsoft has made the best step at this time. Totally they try to explore about the another potentially of bitcoin. I may use it soon, and interesting for see it.

Keep giving it time, we'll see more and more adoption. It's great that out of all companies that could be supporting the technology, it's Microsoft. Absolutely awesome.

I think that I might actually decide to go and buy office for one of the first times in my life, to be honest. Considering they're opening up different payment plans and their software is actually very good for its purpose (especially excel), it might be worth the investment.

I might need to get some books on how to best use Excel, but there might be some good resources online. I don't have much of a use for word or powerpoint though.

That's exactly what we need to. If a company decides to accept bitcoin as payment, we need to show support and buy those products versus shopping somewhere else and using fiat.

yes by showing our support will allow more people to use the process i guess its another good update for all of us who believes on this project bitcoin is an easy transaction so they just need to know about how convenient it is then for sure many shoppers will also use this transaction process, glad to see microsoft excel then many more to come.

I doubt that Google Adsense will do that , Google never spoke about bitcoin and never showed the intention of adding it in the future and chances are very low , I mean they didn't even add PayPal which is considered probably the most used payment method so I doubt they will add BTC or any other decentralized crypto currency.

[Botnake]

It's a great news indeed. Big company backing bitcoin is something that could help the economy of bitcoin to boost. Good news will keep coming for the year 2017 as we started it with a great success upon reaching the $1,000 level.

It's all about recognition. Microsoft is huge company and if it is trying to do something like this then it means that they are getting to know the value of BTC

On the other hand, Google or as we know Alphabet, yet needs to know about BTC
