Reddit Adds Bitcoin Payments to Merchandise Store

finally  Smiley

you wonder why it took so long, that should have been a done deal by anyone 2 years ago



Better late than never, I always say.

The article also states that people wanted reddit to adopt some altcoins as well. Which I can't understand.

Who needs an altcoin as payment method when you have Bitcoin. Doesn't make sense.


Ouch!!

with that mentality why stop there; who needs cryptocurrency at all if you have fiat,
who needs fiat if you have gold, heck who needs gold if you have salt, ... you get the point

Reddit has far more Altcoin constituents than btc constituents so the suggestion may have
political component to it as well.

If doge and ltc are the CCs driving the CC discourse at Reddit why did they get btc
in the first place?   Only because it's #1.  


Altcoins will fade away at some point.

The altcoin economy is full of nonsense and gamblers hoping it will get pumped to secure a profit. It has no future perspective at all.

Bitcoin offers everything you need and is future proof. Only look at how much investors are willing to invest in it, that says enough.

It gets used by more and more merchants every day as form of payment, and these numbers are growing day by day.


Your prejudicial view of altcoins is reminiscent of fiat holders prejudicial views of btc.

You just lost
Glad to see. It makes sense since they already use changetip. Hopefully more sites will get involved with both changetip and accepting btc directly. Hope to see more adoption soon.

Hasn't it already faded away? They're not as popular or as active as they once were. Alt's have nothing behind them except a new wave of sucker newbs.

Great news. I echo others in asking what took them so long. Hopefully they'll get a lot of sales and deiced to keep it as a payment option rather than remove it due to lack of interest.

Now they only need to add some easy way to tip in btc!

Well Changetip is working 100% for me.... You only have to look at the success of /r/millionmakers to judge the capabilities of Changetip to do the task.

I think he was being sarcastic.

A built in ChangeTip button, rather than the text based option, would make things easier for mass adoption.

Bitcoin has been making huge changes in the way forums are monetized and not everyone is taking advantage of that.  Sad

Weren't they making a coin of their own? Wasn't expecting this at all, I thought they would simply add their coin to their store... Smiley

yep, they hired some ryan dude to do that but in the article it says that was sidelined when the CEO got the boot, now recently the ryan guy got the boot too so there you go.
