it won't be mass adoption because the average user is not a gamer,a gamer is usually an advanced user in computers and it is usually a teenager

But there are many many teenagers that play video games and like you said they are usually more tech savvy. Start with the people that can most easily understand/use bitcoin and it will spread from there.

Gaming has the ability to fix the problems of the world. Add bitcoin and over time you will see real world problem become treated like problem solving games, the more difficult the problem the greater the reward.

if they were logical games, would certainly be very interesting .... but are not !! for me are all gambling.

although bitcoin is for everything, bitcoin is not specifically for gamers as they have access to disposable fiat with small inflation rates. they don't benefit much by using it. if companies offered discounts for purchases with btc that would be another story.

I was just thinking, wouldn't it be a good idea for bitcoin ATMs to be placed inside Videogame stores (GameStops, etc) and electronic stores (BestBuys, etc)?
They'd be in safe places for people to perform btc purchases and is placed in a store where our target user (Gamers) would be.
The average user would now be able to buy some btc as easily as buying a new video game.

I think we need to move away from boutiques and coffee shops, if we want mass adoption.

better everyday ♥

King should accept it, hate seeing that game, but if it benefits Bitcoin, sure why not:

The fact that so many people buy virtual items in free to play games baffles me, but that's just me. Those microtransactions would be boost for sure.

Now with Yanis Varoufakis gone from Valve, and Microsoft allowing bitcoins on its digital storefront, it should be a bit easier to convince Gabe to accept bitcoins.

Several crypto gaming sites now accept more bets (by value) in Darkcoin than in BTC due to the very fast confirmation time. Directbet for one.

If that's true, that's more likely to fact that there are plenty of bitcoin gambling sites and only few that accept darkcoin, not because of confirmation time.

Well, something that would be good would be having big youtubers (GAMERS) talking about bitcoin.

See some of them get some small free miners for fun and then they can tell the world about it, and give the miners away to people.
That would create intrest.

SOMEONE BRIBE PEWDIEPIE.

Lately I've seen a thread here by a big YouTube who owns a Programming channel , and he made an Ad Network , not sure if you know him "Thenewboston" , he made this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cPPijbJlMY and he made this ad network as I said above https://www.thenewboston.com/ads/ (he have an account on Bitcointalk as newbie , but not very active) Grin

and he didn't take a bribe Roll Eyes

You can take off Valve and steam from that list , because Gabe Newell has been interviewed before and here is his answer : https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/gabe-newell-accepting-bitcoin-steam-purchases/

I dont really see this being a big addition.

Why would game companies go out of their way to implement a BTC system when they have a CC and Paypal system in place.

Seems like alot of work for a currency that you have to jump through hoops to buy.

I think the next big step for BTC is making it more ease of use to get BTC and manage your BTC.

IT would be cool to see BTC integrated into more outlets but I dont see Activision spending the money to implement it when they have a fiat system in place.

If they accept BTC now they have to cash it out ect, when they could just accept cash in the first place.

Implementing BTC is not hard or costly, they could just use BitPay/Coinbase.
Therefore there's nothing to lose by accepting bitcoins along with CC/paypal.

I agree that gaming can help bitcoin.
We have everything this ''gaming'' people wants: fast and easy money transfer, security and anonymity.
This can be very good niche for BTC.

A lot of people who are in bitcoin, actually came through gambling, so I am sure, its one thin that attracts most of the new people into it.
