Microsoft was using bitcoin for purchases on their website, but it is not working anymore because of the fees.

And no, with the actual fees, do you really think that they are going to use Bitcoin? Maybe they can use their own coin, but they can not ruin their own reputation with a crypto who has fees expensive as the current ones.

Bang on! Microsoft stopped temporarily accepting bitcoin as it happened sometimes previously, but it resumed bitcoin payments two weeks ago:

You can also see Microsoft page:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13942/microsoft-account-add-money-with-bitcoin

Anyway, yes, it will take time. Until we have the fees and speed of transactions problems solved it is very unlikely that major companies will start accepting bitcoin.

no point for developers to stop doing their job which they did last 8 years (if they stop - it means that 8 years was just a waste of time).. so it is a time question when we will have solution for high fees and long transactions..

The idea of bitcoin was to create a way to revolutionize finance, the original story is explained in many blogs and news, although the true creator is really unknown. Even so, it has yielded good results, and has provided excellent results for the economy.

Need some spare btc for a new PC

Fees are going to slow down bitcoins progress by quite. Just as businesses started accepting bitcoin as a payment, the insanely high fees come and ruin it. I've almost completely stopped using bitcoin and switching to ETH If I need to make a transaction. It's getting ridiculous.

Need some spare btc for a new PC that can at least run Adobe Dreamweaver.

I think many companies will use bitcoin, especially companies whose use is related to the online world, I think Facebook will also use bitcoin and alibaba companies and also companies with other online services, because to facilitate transaction costs for consumers.

Never say never...
These days another pizza day like transaction has happened, it was on the mainnet (bitcoin live chain, not on testnet) where a user has ordered something and payed via the Ligthning network...
https://cointelegraph.com/news/lightning-networks-pizza-day-first-ever-physical-purchase-on-lightning-network
So it's happening at the moment, companies are opening payment channels on the bitcoin Lightning network so we just need to wait a bit and it will spread around.

Sure, when they are enlightened about the importance of bitcoin, they will surely use it. At the moment, the ridiculous transfer fees is something else. i hope some should be done about it sooner than later.

In fact, fees are going down at the moment and that is one of the reasons of why the companies should really start to pay attention to cryptos.

But in my opinion, this will only happen once that the LN gets implemented.

Otherwise, they will just ignore all this.

There are other companies that will accept payment in mint currency. What do you think? I told you that encrypted currencies are the future

Amazon is expected more to accept bitcoin payments and if it happens,then it would have a great positive impact over bitcoin price.

Microsoft is the biggest company I know who uses bitcoin, though they stopped accepting it few weeks ago due to the high fees, but then they resumed it.

It is really hard to tell what new companies will start accepting it. It is too violent for companies to accept it. However some processors exist that can exchange it 1:1 which isnt that helpful imo.

Yes, Microsoft being an expert in the technology as well they completely depend on technology. This gives them the trust on the growth happening with technology and had made them accept bitcoin into their business. The acceptance getting pause for a while and getting resumed is good.

By what you have subjected, yes it is a future but saying it the most use worldwide is a bit quite hard to expect. We all know that bitcoin community is constantly rising which helped to patronize it for the large companies. With that, it is a help to merchandise the economy of bitcoin. But not what some others think that some fiats would now be lost as bitcoin rise.
