actually i have no idea about this. but my personal view is that they will do so. because i think these are private companies there fore it will more easy for them to accept bitcoin for mobile or mobile accessories.
Well, if the play store accept bitcoin, bitcoin prices will probably rise little by little. otherwise it bitcoin users would be facilitated in terms of transactions. PlayStore is a large company, it may make bitcoin increasingly popular among users of android. so many android users are using PlayStore, so it will definitely make changes

Do you think that PlayStore for android phones should accept Bitcoin as a payment or AppStore for Iphone? Steam has no problem with Bitcoins, so why shouldn't PlayStore and AppStore use it? It can use BitPay like Steam and most sites that sell something online.
It would be great, but do you think it will happen?

Well, if play Playstore accepting bitcoin, i'm sure both Playstore and bitcoin will got big advantage for their own. Many people will use bitcoin for the payment on play store and bitcoin's price also affected.

As stated above google is trying to create their own ways of payment so it is marely possible i also think that google is not even thinking of accepting bitcoin

Android Pay has been introduced by Google on the last versions of Android (since Lollipop). This is the main reason for which they don't accept paying with Bitcoin, I guess. It's somehow their rival.

However, you can buy Play Store gift cards with Bitcoin and activate them on your account.

Well I think if playstore see a potential profit when receiving Bitcoin then they will accept Bitcoin as mode of payment but  the problem is they already have their own payment so the chance of it is very slim.  But there is possibility if and only if, the developer of the application that are sold in there accept bitcoin as payment.  So automatically playstore and appstore need to adjust to cater all the profits from those transaction.

I do not think that they are going to let Bitcoin be a currency at the Playstore or any other store because they not that many people make use of it.
Maybe if it can become more popular in the future they might implement it.

I thnk playstore will accept bitcoin in the future.. for now they are not so aware about bitcoin that's why they are not still using bitcoin service instead for receiving money if someone buy some games or movies in playstore..

Playstore will surely accept it in future knowing bitcoin madness are now spreading globally, bitcoins got high market since it has millions of user globally thats why i dont really surprise as many online company keep looking bitcoin to be accepted by them but maybe it will take more years since the flactuation of btc is the biggest block its  way to gather trust by online businessman but well keep looking forward in future to see it.


For now i don't think so. Currently playstore and appstore already has efficent payment feature, beside efficient they also benefit from that.
Maybe in the future when Bitcoin goes mainstream and every people knows about Bitcoin. Smiley

Yes they have effecient payment but they also got big fees on their processor in every transaction thats why i will not really surprise if they decide to add bitcoin as their processor and surely it will be more convenient for their business.

Are google and apple accepting bitcoin for their another stuffs and services?
PlayStore is belongs to google, and App Store belongs to Apple. and both company are not accepting bitcoin for anything else(If I am right, I didn't heard they are accepting bitcoin) then they don't accept bitcoin just in their app stores.

Well, first off, Google and Apple aren't Steam, so it's not surprising that they aren't doing the same things.

Of course, it would be a great thing if they started to accept bitcoins as payment although it might take quite a while for them to do so since I don't think they are in favor of bitcoin that much.

Well, if that's true, then it indicates that bitcoin has begun received in some places. I think require some more time, so bitcoin could be accepted by the public. and it will surely make a good effect on the price of bitcoin, well, this will be very good if it makes bitcoin prices rose to $ 1,000.

Do you even read the OP's post before you post? He did not say, Playstore is accepting Bitcoin... He is asking, if it is going to happen. For your convenience and for the other who do not care to read, I

will quote his post again.

Back to OP's question.... In my opinion these companies see no real benefit to use Bitcoin, because it's transaction volumes are still relatively small and not mainstream yet.  Wink

I think and also will be very happy when they will start accepting bitcoin as payment method but i am not seeing this happening really soon. It may take few more years, but ultimately every big merchants like ebay, amazon, playstore, google adwords will start accepting bitcoin because as a payment processor with low fee and faster transaction it will be easy for every business to reach users globally without any limitation to certain country like with paypal and credit card payment.

Yes they should but I think most top companies are wait and watch mode (they are neither ignoring and nor showing interest) but I am sure soon digital goods like apps, movies will be available to purchase with digital currency. Sustainable growth will bring more watching groups inside it, price fluctuation is kind of risk. I think paypal will initiate the process of bitcoin transactions (when it comes to digital payment) as far as big established players are concerned.

the thing that makes appstore and playstore not going to accept bitcoin because android have android pay and apple have apple pay,adding bitcoin will potentially threatening their services so they think better get away from it
Then, why the f*ck do Microsoft store accepts Bitcoin?

just see some faucet getting banned from adsense few weeks ago which could gives you a clue why they don't accept bitcoin
Well, perhaps, those faucets were banned because it is a spam site, plus they never like a website such as Bitcoin faucet after all.
just curious whether microsoft having services like android pay? because android pay works like paypal but slightly different,if that so,i would replace the word "not going" with "not yet"
and about the faucet,can't make sure because they don't give obvious reason

Maybe it could happen if we ask them to, just like what we did with Steam. Do you guys even know that before steam began to accept Bitcoin there were some topics here about asking Steam to accept Bitcoin, and several months later Steam started to accept Bitcoin.
So if we doing the same thing like what we did with Steam, maybe PlayStore will do the same thing like what Steam did.

No, google has huge and very serious business, every modules and etc that they have on their websites, is almost made by them, they are using their payment system and it's more safe to pay with bank and bank's card than bitcoin. Simply they don't want and need bitcoin, they are trying to promote their payment system.

I don't know what to say about appstore, I also don't think that itunes will accept this.

Microsoft don't have anything to do with that so they had nothing to lose by taking it on.
That's somewhat correct, but I was referring to aubert's:
appstore and playstore not going to accept bitcoin
