Microsoft accepting BITCOIN ??!!

[backedbyscience]

I knew that bill gates will support bitcoin because this billionaire knew its potential before us they know that their company will profit investing in bitcoin its prices are pointing upwards who would not invest to that, its a good thing that microsoft step in the line soon other big companies will follow

[color=limegreenSoftware giant Microsoft from December 2014 takes payment of crypto currency bitcoin. So far, only US residents can use this opportunity. Direct purchases are not made - you first need to replenish your account with Microsoft. Then these tools can be used when shopping in stores Windows, Windows Phone, Xbox Games, Xbox Music and Xbox Video.][/color]

This kind of gesture is what bitcoin needs to get to pride of place. This step by Bill Gates if real, would spore other billionaires with their conglomerate in bitcoin investment and the growth of other cryptos is eminent.

It simply means cryptos is the business to automatically transform the masses.

I'm not going to buy anything from the software of bitcoin but I like any kind of news. Each news is another step towards building the new crypto economy. I think that all companies which are related to IT technologies needs to accept bitcoins. Bitcoin will contribute to the growth of this industry in the first place.

Well this a good thing that even microsoft now recognizes bitcoin as payment options, other bitcoin users now can easily interact microsoft's products also well have the chance to increase there sales because of many bitcoin users that we'll be interested in buying or any customer services.

Bitcoin has shown the world its power, popularity and demand. Bitcoin will likely grow more in the industry because big companies now are accepting as payment, I will not be shocked if bitcoin will raise to $10000 next year.

Lol,, Bitcoin is everywhere, whenever you want to buy something with just a barcode scan. every big company already knows the great potential of bitcoin. This is a really good news for us bitcoiners

[cryptomato]

if that is real and not a speculation, it really means a lot to me as I'm from IT world. that can increase btc awareness even more than today.

Not to let you down guys but the last time I spoke with Microsoft support, they told me that Bitcoin payment method is only available for U.S residents IIRC and will be removed from them soon.

Not too many big companies are accepting it. Microsoft isn't accepting it for most of their products. Amazon is rumored to be considering it but until the likes of these big companies do then we'll have to rely on bitcoin being traded between users and local trades

I'm always glad when new companies accept BTC, but I am still not certain that I am ready to part with my BTC at current prices.

You read the caveat "When you redeem Bitcoin to deposit funds into your Microsoft account, you can use it to purchase games, movies, and apps in the Windows and Xbox stores.  You cannot use these funds to purchase items in the Microsoft online store."

Regardless this is a great news that tech giants are encouraging Bitcoin adoption. i understand that they even funded the seed capital for Cindicator (Hybrid intelligence) project.

Hold your horses....

First it is not fresh news.
They used to be a partner of bitpay and you could fund your Microsoft account with BTC for years

This is from 2014:

https://blogs.microsoft.com/firehose/2014/12/11/now-you-can-exchange-bitcoins-to-buy-apps-games-and-more-for-windows-windows-phone-and-xbox/

It's nothing new, they just changed the funding way and added some limitations unfortunately.
Also the non-refundable thing is a big fail and a big NO.

Yes it is right, you can buy at microsoft with bitcoin at the moment, but it only means that you can buy their stuff, like tshirts, some stuff for your computer, their gadgets and software.. etc.
there is nothing new with that because you were able to buy the same stuff in other websites like amazon, ebay, etc, only that without bitcoin. Just wait guys, maybe those are going to be huge times for bitcoins.
