If we dip back into the 300s this week, I'll be buying a bunch more after payday! I never trade to increase my fiat balance and never have.

If you don't increase your fiat balance, then you are doing worse with your trades than by doing nothing.

Microsoft does not hold any bitcoins you pay to bitpay company

Bitpay helps to handle the deal,we pay the bitcoins to Bitpay,but Microsoft accept money from Bitpay.

i got into BTC when years ago it first hit $32.    then i watched it plummet down to around $3 or $4.  so %80 drops are not unusual.  if you have no faith in BTC why are you even here?    is your life so pathetic that you have to try to crap on everyone else's parade with your claims of scam and ponzi scheme?  we don't need your warnings.  we've been through these dips before.  ciao.  

history doesn't have to happen again, this time might be the end of bitcoin, ready to lose everything in this periodically dropping market? or
face the reality?

i've already made more than enough from crypto.  I'm just playing with "House Money" now.  but i dont see it going to zero or dying.  Blackmarkets will always be around.  When Open Bazaar gets going, we'll definitely be in for a bull market. there will always be a need for crypto.

I think a lot of people betting on the fall to buy BTC and get a good balance.

I think the fall a little dangerous because I'm afraid that the BTC estabelize after a bad fall and not recover.

It pisses me off that it's USA only. Fuck the kids in America (Whoa), try one of the countries where paypal and mastercard don't operate in most households. Also whats wrong with going down the local store and picking up a redeemable voucher for cash, probably easier than going to the ATM machine, buying your BTC at a 5% mark up and then waiting for  confirmations before you can then buy your redeemable digital gift voucher, which can then be used to buy a digital product.

Few people may go out and buy bitcoins just for this, but if they hear about Bitcoin through this, it may pique their interest in the philosophy behind Bitcoin, and those that are convinced will buy some. Once they've bought some, they may be interested in actually using some of them. Novel concept, right?

Live and enjoy experiments
Microsoft: "You can’t use Bitcoin to purchase Microsoft products and services directly at this time." Microsoft is using Bitcoin for the things that used to be sold for Microsoft Points - in-app purchases, game items, and other junk. Those are low-risk items for Microsoft - they cost little or nothing to make, and have no resale value.

I love the fact that you failed to buy bitcoin in 2011, failed to get rich despite being on the scene in the early years when bitcoins cost pennies.

To be so spectacularly wrong and still keep posting negative crap about btc when the second biggest company in the world embraces bitcoin shows a particular brand of stupidity like no other.

How much are you dying to say, 'see I told you so!'? Ha.


Pretty sure that won't be his last words on deathbed, I feel sorry for the shorts.

That could work for those with cash. ...

So we can forget about that Bitcoin ATM, huh?
K.  We've narrowed our target demographic to under-18 gamer kids, without cash, who make Bitcoin online.  That's pretty specific.
How many do you suppose that is?  
At least 1, as you are paid in bitcoins for trolling.

The target market for Bitcoin use by Microsoft is XBox gamers, many of whom are under 18 years of age.  This demographic doesn't have credit cards.  Bitcoin will become the defacto savings and payment method for this demographic.  Cash doesn't do them any good, as they can't spend it online.  Bitcoin is the answer.

Microsoft has capitalized on something big here.  The under-18 demographic has no way to legally spend fiat online.  Now they can spend Bitcoin.  Soon the under-18 demographic will begin keeping their funds in Bitcoin, as it's trapped in unusable form when left as fiat.  Bitcoin will grow from this.  Add to this the powerful educational effect of indoctrination at an early age, and we have a very bullish long-term effect for Bitcoin.

Interesting, until you think it through:

BTC is not spent directly--it must be added to your MS account.
BTC must be purchased--why would a kid steal mom's credit card to shop for BTC @ circle.com, when he could fund his account directly?
finally, what's wrong with conventional way of doing things?



Your assumption that kids steal their parents credit cards to fund their activities is flawed.  Many kids have cash and don't want to ask their parents every time they wish to spend it online.  A simple trip to a Bitcoin ATM will convert it to a form that can be spent in many places online.  They won't keep it all in a Microsoft account, since that cannot be withdrawn.

A simple trip to a store would get them a cash card/prepaid CC.  Those can be spent in more places on and offline Smiley  Or, you know, just get xbox card.
Re: "won't keep it all in a Microsoft account, since that cannot be withdrawn":  They have to fund their MS account to use BTC.  That's the only way MS accepts BTC.

That could work for those with cash.  But you can avoid the trip to the store after receiving Bitcoin online if you just use the Bitcoin directly.  That implies the target demographic is truly those who earn Bitcoin, such as through tips or providing online services in exchange for Bitcoin.

The truth is that the SECOND BIGGEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD is accepting Bitcoin. And now, younger kids and teenagers who play Xbox, and use Xbox Live will see a Bitcoin's big, bright, B logo, they'll get interested because they are young and corious and probably the will use the Internet to look it up.

Having younger kids use Bitcoin is huge.

that's what perma bulls keep promising all over the years, "now xx accept bitpay, people will see how good biypay/bitcoin is ..bla bla bla" guess what about the price? it dropped 70% and still going down!
stop trolling out the fake future, stop scamming people!

Noob, you dont know nothing how it works. At a point with so many adoption ppl will stop converting there coins into dollars and use them to buy services/products etc. Do you really think such tech like Blockchain will be rolled out with in a few years...NOOB.

70% is called a correction and it's still above last year...NOOB.

no problem for you, there is and will always be much more "out" than "in", that's why bitcoin is going down to $100 and lower, thanks to bitpay/coinbase on helping the capital flight all the way down

You understand that bitcoin started trading around $0, not $1.000.000?

I think he (truetalkci) doesn't understand that situation  Roll Eyes ,  he thinks that the bitcoin price has started from 1k dollars.

So if BTC price goes down to $.01/BTC, still a win.  Amirite?

perma bulls answer: YES, $0.01 per bitcoin is still a WIN! better than nothing and where it started!

How Bitcoiner of you Sad

i call them perma bulls

It makes the same amount of sense to use bitcoin for payment, then it is to go to a casino and convert your dollars to casino chips, so you could use them at the grocery store that accepts them as direct payment.

Paying with bitcoin makes sense if: a) You are already fanatical about bitcoin b) You need to make a black market purchase.
For the rest it's inconvenient, unsafe and often expensive.

I don't see where it states that 100% is converted to fiat. Can u help me finding it? Maybe you don't understand that merchants can choose to keep some or all of the payment in bitcoins when using BitPay?

It doesn't matter anyways. Microsoft will keep Bitcoin when they will need. Right now the don't need Bitcon for nothing, so it's normal that the don't keep them.

If someone pay with BTC in Microsoft, is beacause the bought that Bitcoin before. So I don't see the problem...

You understand that bitcoin started trading around $0, not $1.000.000?

Classic scam excuse, you also understand every ponzi schemes started trading around $0? they all end up around $0 again, you must think it's ok with that

Are you trying to tell us that Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme? You must educate yourself.

Microsoft does not hold any bitcoins you pay to bitpay company

How do you know that?

"Microsoft is using BitPay to process their bitcoin transactions." -- https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/microsoft-now-accepts-bitcoin-bitpay/

I don't see where it states that 100% is converted to fiat. Can u help me finding it? Maybe you don't understand that merchants can choose to keep some or all of the payment in bitcoins when using BitPay?

The truth is that the SECOND BIGGEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD is accepting Bitcoin. And now, younger kids and teenagers who play Xbox, and use Xbox Live will see a Bitcoin's big, bright, B logo, they'll get interested because they are young and corious and probably the will use the Internet to look it up.

Having younger kids use Bitcoin is huge.

that's what perma bulls keep promising all over the years, "now xx accept bitpay, people will see how good biypay/bitcoin is ..bla bla bla" guess what about the price? it dropped 70% and still going down!
stop trolling out the fake future, stop scamming people!

Price will rise when demand rise. And it will.

Anyways, I don't care about the price. I think you are the only one thinking about the price on this thread.

yes, you don't care about the price
"all big companies now accept USD from bitpay/coinbase, <-- bitpay/coinbase then dump all coins on market to get those USD and the bitcoin price will soon crash to $100 or lower"

So what is the problem ? I think it is *rewarding* to spend bitcoin directly ... Only the traders will cry.

Lol, I'd accept wooden nickels, as long as some payment processor took these wood chips & turned them into USD before i had to touch them.

Good traders only respond to trade volume and price changes anyway, news is only one of many possible triggers and doesn't necessarily mean anything, in the 2008 - 2009 crash the news blamed the weather for the low numbers but of course that was a load of bullshit.

Microsoft recently targets the money in bitcoin market and add one more way to accept USD from bitpay company, however many fake news about "it is accepting bitcoin" came out and some of us buy this troll

Microsoft is trying to grap the fund invested in bitcoin and bitpay helps this bitcoin capital flight

The bitcoin price is going to crash even harder after this "delay" caused by fake news same as PayPal made their announcement, you know what happened about the price crash

Microsoft does not accept bitcoin
Microsoft does not hold any bitcoins you pay to bitpay company
Crash incoming!
