I was on the fence about buying a new Xbox.
This settles it. Merry Christmas!

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Yes! I wondered what had caused the jump in price when I looked at the charts in the morning ... this is a good reason. |

Often new retail spending options depresses prices, but this should be different. Software development and ease of use are very important for Bitcoin and there is a rumor that Microsoft does still develop software.  It is a good thing for Bitcoin though, no matter what the price does. |

Software development and ease of use are very important for Bitcoin and there is a rumor that Microsoft does still develop software. It is a good thing for Bitcoin though, no matter what the price does. Of course. But obviously there was also a quite strong short-term effect of the announcement on the price. But yes, I think that in the long run, news like these are especially good to further the general adoption and development of the ecosystem. (Which may not always be reflected in the short-term price movements.) |

"This might also fast-track bitcoin corporate acceptance, companies will also start accepting bitcoin if they see that their software/service provider is accepting bitcoin."

Microsoft has a long-term vision for bitcoin, BitPay and the blockchain. Sonny Singh, Bitpay http://www.coindesk.com/bitpay-microsoft-aggressive-global-vision-bitcoin/rocket, anyone? |
"I believe this will be the ultimate fate of Bitcoin, to be the "high-powered money" that serves as a reserve currency for banks that issue their own digital cash." Hal Finney, Dec. 2010
