That's not what I said at all. I'm saying that when you pay your € to a vendor through a payment provider, we don't say that they are accepting € but that they are accepting payments through payment provider. The third party payment provider is accepting the currency.
The point is if the customer can pay in Bitcoin. It doesn't matter what happens after that. So if a merchant has someone process their Visa and MC payments, then they don't take credit cards? That is a little different, but it's still the fact that if you can pay for something with bitcoin, then that merchant accepts bitcoin. |

Zynga needs to hurry up and include bitcoin in their Poker game. Now THAT would be something!

Zynga is getting desperate. They had a bad year; laid off 520 people. Their stock is around $4, from a high of $15 in 2012. |

hmmm.... Another story saying a business will accept Bitcoins when actually they are using Bitpay as a payment processor. If i pay US based Widget Inc £100 for good through Paypal, does that mean they are accepting payments in £, or just providing a method for my £ to be transfered to their $ account easily?
Maybe its just semantics, but in my view a business isn't accepting BTC unless they are taking a BTC transaction directly to their wallet.
IMO they are accepting bitcoin directly. The most convenient and cost efficient method to accept bitcoin is to use an established service such as bitpay instead of trying to develop the system themselves with their own wallet. Although they will likely turn their revenue into USD, they are opening their services up to an entirely new base of users that they did not have before: bitcoin users. |

Good news for BTC's. If Netflix join them and Overstocks actually accept BTC's later there will be a wider use and acceptance and possibly a jump in the Bitcoin Price  . |

I bought Zynga stock for $9 in 2011 (or 2012) hoping this online gambling thing would kick off and raise the stock price, but I crashed and burned and ended up selling everything for $4 a few months ago. It was painful... but I put that money in bitcoin so it's at a better place. Can Zynga allow poker to be played with bitcoin in other countries though? Countries where the gov doesn't recognize bitcoin as a currency for example, or where online gambling is legal. That would be good for both Zynga and bitcoin too. |

Still the same strategy: Save the coins and spend with credit card, pay back the credit card with another loan, and pay back that loan with bitcoins several years later

I truly hope that plan works out for you... It'd be more catastrophic if it didn't work out than if you were to spend a little BTC now. Less risk, even though I myself believe that BTC will rise greatly. |

This news isn't as big as everyone makes it out to be I think.
Zynga is a rubbish company. They blatantly copy games all the time and have terrible customer service.
Besides, They don't even accept bitcoins for their most popular games : Farmville(edit: I was wrong) and Online Poker.
