[2018-1-8] Bitcoin payments on Microsoft to end due to volatility

[DowBit]

Microsoft has removed the option to pay with Bitcoin from its site prompting an uproar in the cryptocurrency community. Some users still have the option to add bitcoins to an account to buy apps and games. But the company is currently phasing out the feature. Concerns over Bitcoin’s volatility and high transaction fees have slowed Bitcoin’s acceptance as a spendable currency.

According to Raul O., a Microsoft’s support specialist, the company will phase out Bitcoin payments and has no concrete plans to start accepting them again. PayPal and credit/debit cards, he said are “the main payment methods.” Microsoft added support for Bitcoin in 2014 to buy games and apps but stopped temporarily in 2016. Mr O. was not specific about when, or if the company would support the cryptocurrency again.

Microsoft = US Spy agency backdoor. Why would you want to buy software full of backdoors for the NSA? Why should we

bow down and plead for some attention? Let Bitcoin adoption grow {without them} and show your support to the software

companies that supports Bitcoin. Once Bitcoin {BTC} has grown, they would come crawling back. They want profits and when

Bitcoin supporters stop buying their products and start buying competitors product, they will see the error in their ways. 

The competitors should see this as a opportunity to grab a share of the Microsoft dynasty.
