Topic: Microsoft Store to not Accept Bitcoin Anymore (Read 1454 times)
I just found this thread so continue discussion there : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1399169.0;topicseen (It's seems like they still accept Bitcoin after all)
did they give a reason??
they must have somthing planed ( seriously doubt they would favor ETH over BTC ... somthing else planned...), maybe they plan to try and compete with BTC?
they must have somthing planed ( seriously doubt they would favor ETH over BTC ... somthing else planned...), maybe they plan to try and compete with BTC?
why would you seriously doubt that?
They are already using eth on the azure platform, not btc...
all the signs are clear dude, just look up and read them.
IDK ETH is gas not money, it would be ODD for them to favor ETH over BTC for funding accounts.
can you post a link?
i guess its possible, i mean they MUST have a good reason for taking the time to scrap all the work they did to accept bitcoin
Sorry, impossible to link a rumor
well there involvement with ETH isn't a rumor can you link that so i can better understand what they have to do with ETH.

Microsoft is the one who lose from this decision because they are gonna lose a part from their customers!
maybe they are planning to release their own token and they stopped accepting bitcoin before doing that

I hear that they will be taking eth as payment starting monday.
I guess we'll see in a day or so.

i think you're talking about this, it's not about payment option for ethereum

So what, let them move on, if bitcoin needs the approval of the large corperations to succeed then it is a failed project anyway, i dont believe it does. 
Just avoid anything Microsoft develops or finances. You know that they will just use it to harvest information and restrict your rights and usage. They are involved with Etherium, and for that reason, Etherium should be avoided imho.
Don't trust any coin without hard coin cap. The reason behind recent popularity of ethereum is maybe that people think that it will be bitcoin 2.0 and while price is still low they w want to buy it to be part of another bitcoin like price rise.I don't care much about acceptance of Microsoft, but this info will probably cause rumors about bitcoin (and we already see them spreading) and eventually bitcoin price will drop.
I can't believe that Microsoft stop supporting Bitcoin and started to think of ways to use the Blockchain for their own advantage. I deeply hope that they will consider taking in Bitcoin as payment again.
That is how business goes.
Nobody will ever do you a favour just like that, especially of you could be a potential threat.
But don't worry too much.Microsoft accepting Bitcoin or not isn't that much of important.
Let them deal and play with their closed permission stuff.
It is just crypto currency while Microsoft is IT company. I don't see how Bitcoin can influence Microsoft in any way, not to mention be a threat to them.
MSFT rather owns already a bunch of ETH than BTC. So it is just logic they push what?
Microsoft is an incorporated company, not a charity organization. All they do with Bitcoin and blockchain is aiming to make profits.
The step towards blockchain instead Bitcoin makes sense for M$.
If profit is the main agenda, possibly.

People really need to stop being hyperbolic about this. Things are simple in the Business world: If you don't get enough customers that pay with Bitcoin, you drop it eventually. Why would they bother if they can't generate many sales?
Why exactly bitcoin could be a threat to Microsoft?
It isn't.The step towards blockchain instead Bitcoin makes sense for M$.
If profit is the main agenda, possibly. Where did you get this settlement thing? From Blockstream and core propaganda?
That's exactly where he got it from since he is in support of a controversial HF.The shilling and ETH pumping is getting ridiculous on this forum and they will do anything to make ETH look good and Bitcoin look bad. Microsoft has been jumping from on thing to the next for months
and they can support what they want. If Bitcoin becomes the de facto currency, they will not have a choice other than accepting it and they will dump ETH like it was a rabbit dog. They are looking for
a currency they can manipulate and people they can manipulate to do what they want. It's all about control... and they have zero control over Bitcoin.

Whats ridiculous is how now you are complaining about microsoft jumping from project to project... hey dude.. microsoft made billions, they have a right to do what they want, dont ya think?
This was predictable. There were some who have paid in Bitcoin but certainly not enough to work profitable. To maintain the BTC payment infrastructure costs money and resources. The step towards blockchain instead Bitcoin makes sense for M$.
