The announcement is published by many mainstream tech media in lots of countries now.
I'm really curious how this will develop. Smiley

They do allow you to load your Steam wallet with Bitcoin, but direct trade between users are not allowed as yet. BitPay will get the lion share of the profit with this partnership and I hope they will plough

some of that profits back into discounts for BTC payments to incentivize Bitcoin payment over other payment methods. The reduced fees should not be the only incentive for people to use this option

over the other alternative payment options out there at the moment.  Huh

This news alone made my day. I've been waiting long time for this to happen and I am not the only one.
I wish that Valve would publish some statistics about bitcoin BTC payments after some time.
I am very curious how many people will use BTC to purchase games on steam.
