all these news is just being spread across the internet to spread FUD and help the ETH pump which is not longer as effective as it was in the beginning.

That's true.

That kinda informs on the type of people are using bitcoin more towards to other products then software.

Either that, they much have a significant low volume of customers like someone mentioned.

It shouldnt be as a concern though, too many other merchants still have bitcoin as a checkout.

I think it'll be all the little stores wanting to break free from the fees of paypal that will embrace it most. As it gets wider acceptance and visibility with the public interest should only grow. It all relies on the stability of the blockchain and any future security issues with bitcoin

Brace for price drops.

I always wondered when they'd stop accepting it, just because of low usage, it's more hassle than convenience for the users and vendors.

Who else is going to follow? Overstock, TigerDirect?

people use btc in other markets... before we use btc mainstream we have to see a lot of new application...
ps but they don't refuse blockchain technology so "itself" they need btc!!!

This was expected IMO. Microsoft never advertised bitcoin payments for its store and also accepted it only for special products and in certain territories. With no advertisement of course the use would have been low, Microsoft had virtually no advantage to use bitcoin over other payment means available to them if nobody was using bitcoin to pay them and they even made it more inconvenient.

uselesses news, if they are not accepting bitcoin anymore it mean that no one was using it, thus making it irrelevant for the price volatility

In recent times when I have paid for something via Coinbase, or the otherone (BitPay?), there have been issues which have required admin to sort out.

You make the transaction, you get the 15 min box for the first confirmation to clear...except the first confirmation takes over 90 minutes, then the transaction is cancelled, although the Bitcoins have already been paidm then you have contact someone etc etc....

A real fucking pain in the arse.

For this reason above all others, Bitcoin's days are numbered.

No good reason at all why Crypto shouldn't be designed to confirm within minutes, or even a few seconds, and it already has been....just a matter of time until a competitor knocks Bitcoin of it's perch.
