I'm really quite sane!
This actually makes a lot of sense. The people who play games on microsoft services (like xbox) and the people who use bitcoin tend to overlap. This seems to be a way to increase their overall revenue as some gamers may not have fiat money but may have excess bitcoin from the days that GPU mining was profitable

Software Engineering is not an easy Job.
Its good for stability. However price increase wouldn't be good for stability. In fact if prices drop to 20$ there will be a huge influx of buyers and new highs of the sort of 2000$/BTC. Otherwise price will stay the same.

Good news for bitcoin users many companies will accept bitcoins but only takes time.

Pretty surprising to see a dinosaur accepting new idea. Guess there is still hope for Microsoft they won't extinct soon.

Already tons of big sites are accepting bitcoins, great to see an ever bigger one joining in now (although I thought Google would do something "New and Innovative" before Microsoft)

I've seen 2 or 3 posts about this subject, and I always think of something to write, such my satifação with this information.
All this just reaffirms something that someone already said (can not remember who or where and vi) "Bitcoin is the future of business transactions"

better everyday ♥
Now if we can get the rest of the big boys involved: Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, etc

Every bit of positive news, acceptance, and exposure adds up.

Pretty soon....
