Topic: Microsoft Removes Bitcoin - page 2. (Read 705 times)
Microsoft is one of the major vendors that remove the Bitcoin payment option. However, with substantial price increases and volatility until the last quarter of this year, corporate risks such as Microsoft appear to be on the rise. Bitcoin fell four percent on the day.
Bad rumors make the bitcoin price drop sharply. However, I see microsoft again accept payment by bitcoin. It's hard to understand for that
For a company, accepting payments in Bitcoin became almost impossible these days because of high transaction fees and the huge delay. If people buy/register, they want access instantly. Having to wait to get what you paid for until the transaction is confirmed, is not appreciated. People also don't want to pay extra to cover the Bitcoin transaction fees.
The fees are now to high but with lightning network that will be solved.
Bitcoin network is very slow right now and transaction takes more time to confirm in case enhancement upgraded to bitcoin blockchain Microsoft and other big companies will accept BTC again .
why Microsoft Removes Bitcoin as Payment Option for Microsoft Storew?
The decision of Microsoft is temporal. Maybe they are getting Bitcoins again yet. I don’t think that this essential question to discuss. Bill Gates appreciate Bitcoin and can not be restricted by Microsoft.
Bill Gates is no longer at the head of Microsoft for a long time now... he may still be a tech advisor but he is certanly not the CEO or any big rank there, although other could value his opinion but his opinion is not that strong there.
With lightning networks I think bitcoin will make it back to Microsoft, Steam and so on.
Lighting network is available now, why haven't they simply included it into their system? Do you realize that these companies don't even care much about bitcoin as they are using serviece like BitPay that will simply send them out dollars and they will include BitPays API without even touching the tech side of bitcoin. BitPay don't have LN as for now which could be the answer to my question. Simply maybe their costumers weren't satisfied by paying with BTC long wait time + fees + large price movments 1k up or down....
Dunno for now, but surely Microsoft owner believes in cryptocurrency.
US government's eyes are red hot on bitcoin right now. At first at its volatility and I guess that is the main reason why they decline bitcoin. And also why'd I said the red hot in bitcoin. Well, us security something I forgot the agency doesn't want bounty to exists.

Bitcoin is a crypto coin and if its dump huge i think its affected all who related bitcoin.Recently microsoft remove bitcoin https://cointelegraph.com/news/microsoft-removes-bitcoin-as-payment-option-for-microsoft-store . I think its only for delay bitcoin tx and huge tx fee. 
With lightning networks I think bitcoin will make it back to Microsoft, Steam and so on.
why Microsoft Removes Bitcoin as Payment Option for Microsoft Storew?
Microsoft removed Bitcoin as payment option because of unstable price. Price is jumping up and down for 1000$ everyday. 
I think Microsoft is the last company we want using it as a service. We want these huge companies to stay away
we do? why would we want that?
Because the Globalists don't like Bitcoin. They can't stop it, but they can absorb all of the coins to make the system unworkable. They have already introduced a futures exchange so that they can manipulate the market.
Because US government is against cryptocurrencies. As long as Microsoft doesn't want to have problems with officials they won't take any risks. Especially risks like that: Bitcoin as a payment method is only for geeks and it's not worth keeping it just to satisfy them.
The main reason for microsoft to remove bitcoin as a mode of payment is simply because of their high transaction charges and expect these sort of news from other companies too as people wont be using bitcoin as a mode of payment anymore until there is a permanent fix with the implementation of lightning network and after that these companies might rethink of accepting bitcoin again. 
I heard again they added Bitcoin in Microsoft site they suspended temporarily i am not sure about news
I have read some posts on social media too that they have remove bitcoin and recently they have added it again. So I don't know if that's legitimate or just another hearsay, if someone here that has strong proof that can give reference about the positive news about microsoft gaining bitcoin back again with their business. why Microsoft Removes Bitcoin as Payment Option for Microsoft Storew?
It was inevitable, I like bitcoin but with fees of 80 to 100 dollars then any transaction below 1000 does not make sense, even if you use a segwit address the fees are still high so this was going to happen sooner or later, we need the LN activated immediately to counter this. 
The transaction cost for BTC is becoming too high as compared to other traditional means of fund movement. That not so promising
Bitcoin transactions are more expensive than other ways of sending money due to high load. Developers are working on this issue. Some people decided to hardfork Bitcoin and increase the blocksize in order to process more transactions per second. Lightning Network is slowly being pushed to the mainnet. We will have to wait for wallet developers to implement it in their software. It will take some time but it is definitely worth it.
Microsoft = government. They are hand in hand.

possibly because the bitcoin price is unstable and makes microsoft frightened when the price drops and the selling price gets dropped, it will probably work together again when bitcoin is completely stabilized or maybe use other altcoin whose total supply is still high.
