They will work with bitcoin in the future ,banks working in their blockhain ,they will maybe allow costumers to be part of it,paying each people a fee to keep blockhain their safe,otherwise someone can attack them and steal the money and gone.Apple and other will use bitcoin as this is already a way to pay ,money with value.
IMO, it would just be like insurance to insure your Bitcoins. IMO, this is quite redundant with the amount of hardware wallets coming out and paper wallets are already quite safe. The attacks that users are exposed to is mostly malware attacks which can be prevented with good security measures.

Are you sure?
I thought when you did anything with Microsoft they asked a few intrusive questions.
You're just buying stuff. I've never been asked an intrusive question by any type of store other than name and address if they needed to send me something. If they did then they wouldn't get my business.
No worries. I am very soon they will embrace bitcoin and perhaps integrate bitcoin in their latest windows??
If the bitcoin wallet included with all Windows products, then that must be a very good booster for bitcoin ecosystem and we can see very good price appreciation with this of bitcoin value. I wish that could happen in very near future.
Even better if Microsoft provide the bitcoin wallet with some bitcoin in it. Even it is 0.00001, it is good for the adoption of bitcoin.
I personally wouldn't like it if they really do it. Afterall, users should be choosing their own wallet and not be given a wallet to use. There is always a possibility of it getting backdoors. It would also use unnecessary space for non-Bitcoin users.

I know bitcoin is convenient and all, but funding your Microsoft account. I don't really think that it is that a big of a deal. You can still fund your account in other ways, its not like you can't fund your account anymore. At the same time, Microsoft are the ones losing out. Bitcoin is steadily rising and they would make a decent profit from it. I think it's a lose lose situation for both sides.
Who cares really...
Of course that a lot of people cares. Microsoft getting in the Digital Currency industry is a very good thing. It means that the confidence in this new technology is growing.
They even have recently signed a partnership to start using the Ethereum platform for developing new tools and smart assets using the blockchain.
Microsoft dropped BTC and joined ETH bandwagon.
Bitcoin and its tech are 2 different things. No corporation needs BTC. Maybe they need parts of BTC tech and nothing more.
The mobile payments are the future. BTC is a niche e-currency. I don't understand why you are dreaming to non senses
Debit cards/credit cards along with the mobile payments are the future. Period.
Why would I use BTC when I have USD/EURO, etc? I can use my debit card with ZERO fees for any online/offline purchase and more than that, the transactions are instant.
Also, I can use hundreds of payment processors like Paypal if I really want an intermediary and to pay fees. Again, the transactions are instant.
Bitcoin is not free and it's slow like a snail.
Why would I switch to Bitcoin? For what? Give me a reasonable reason for doing that
Yes, BTC can be used for speculative trading, buying weed and staff but that's all.

Take a look at this,

I m sure Microsoft has got a lot of interest in crypto and BTC especially. If they dropped it, it s just temporary. It was clearly stated in that tech support conversation.

It's a shame they have dropped bitcoin, it was great news when they accepted it and it surely must have increased their sales, I wonder why have have dropped it on a temp basis.
well imagine a big corporation like google and microsoft aceping BTC and even apple the btc will rule we wait,
Apple pay can integrate bitcoin. The next big revenue generation would be fees generated from apple pay. It will cost very little to transact bitcoin compared to fiats.

Microsoft bundling a Bitcoin client with Windows would be very bad.
- It probably violates anti-trust laws, previously Microsoft got into a lot of trouble for including Internet Explorer with Windows.
- The client they ship with Windows may be backdoored/bugged/insecure.
- It's not good to have a single client that everybody uses.
They don't need to bundle bitcoin client with it, they could just add bitcoin to microsoft payments, which would be even a bigger thing.
There's no legal issues for them to add it to their own payment system, atleast not that i can think of.
Other points you listed i agree on, it's better for individual user to pick a wallet on their own, but doubt there's justified fear of backdors..
If companies like MS, Apple, G, Adobe etc accept Bitcoin then it can really become mainstream and finally a viable currency to own. However this move by MS hits this notion where it hurts the most.
well imagine a big corporation like google and microsoft aceping BTC and even apple the btc will rule we wait,
well they have dropped it this is the point, and apple is against bitcoin, i remember when someone destroyed is applephone because they removed the possibily to have bitcoin client on their iphone or something
and then they have applepay which is against bitcoin, they somehow realized the potential with bitcoin, when they delivered that way of payment...
It probably doesn't make any difference anyway whether they accept bitcoin or not. Nobody is forcing them to and nobody needs it anyway. But in few more years down the road when bitcoin finally gained mainstream they will automatically or willingly add bitcoin as one of the payment option for sure.

Can't see them accept Bitcoin payments for anything other than xbox subscribtions, etc, at this point. I am more interested to know the reason for not accepting Bitcoin anymore.
