Well, it seems the news was true in fact. Now steam is accepting Bitcoin finally, do you think this will boost the price by a lot?

Yes. Absolutely. Maybe 15% of the people who are using Bitcoin is also using Steam Community. So that will be a good choice if these people will earn bitcoin in paying the games and credits from Steam and yes, This will affect a lot.

It would be good if the bitcoin can be used as a currency in some games. And people can earn that in games.

It has affected the market's forum a lot, a lot of people and company already took part of this, and they used the market to advertise their product, for me this is a good thing because it makes a good marketing strategy and it makes this forum more lively and in the other hands it makes the buyer and seller easier to do transaction

Looks like steam is finally going to accept bitcoin!!!!

http://cointelegraph.com/news/steam-to-accept-payments-via-bitcoin-in-its-next-update

Curious if that will affect the people selling games on the bitcoin talk? And the various other websites you can buy steam at.

no it didn't affected marketplace and it won't accept. or even if it did, it was tiny price change that we didn't felt at all, like 3$ or so, that's not big price change at all

I think yes, it will affect the forum market in a positive way. Because many people will start using bitcoins for buying steam wallets and steam games and the items too.

Yes, it will affect the forum market, but only in some things, almost everybody that handle bitcoin have some computer knowledge, indeed there are several place (included this forum) where you can buy steam codes/accounts at a lower price...
so i choose Steam if the price is the same or lower than others websites and others websites when the steam price is higher Grin

I remember selling a couple of steam game keys online and back then it was much easier to sell. But now I guess people will have to purchase games for much cheaper than steam sale prices to be able to sell them over here, or maybe could sell them during the nonsale seasons.

this is a great news, This better than buying steam wallet codes because steam wallet codes is quite expensive because of its fees. By the way does anyone here knows where can i buy steam wallet codes or can i convert my fund in steam into codes?

I have also bought some Steam games with the bitcoin. If they offer some discount to promote bitcoin, it is even better.

I think it is good to buy something in steam using bitcoin, well it was very easy. but, I guess not all users are aware of that steam, and on average, they all use a voucher or something easier, but perhaps it is more expensive than when using bitcoin, other than that I think the process is also quite long. but hopefully all Steam users will be using bitcoin to transact there, because if that is done then the price will definitely rise bitcoin

Yeaaa it is automatically will growing bitcoin user as they need to buy a games using bitcoin.
But an effect to a third party provider who have a service to sell games via bitcoin should be fine if the consequences is bitcoin user grow and gained.
I personally glad to hear the news a few months ago about steam finally accepted bitcoin.

BTC is not available as a payment option to add to my account.

Theres already a bitcoin payment option just try to browse it you could definitely see it since steam is already accepting bitcoin as a payment a few months ago, its impossible that is removed since ive been using it for how many months until now. Try to browse it, you would see it in the payment options.

Really, well in my case I'm buying using my wallet which is coins.ph. (Note: It is only available in Asian Countries). Steam Wallet is available there, you can directly buy the steam wallet using your bitcoin easily. Although the price is based on USD which makes us hard to buy high amount of steam wallet as it will cost much. I hope they will adjust the payment based on the countries that were in.

No normal person can be bothered with an exchange.

You gotta get verified, wait for your money to clear, figure out how an exchange works and then get it out again.

In the meantime the price might have crashed.

So you could waste several days to lose money or, y'know, use your card instantly.

What a choice.

i got so mad since nobody told me this these months lucky i saw a guy he said steam accept bitcoin me was like WTF nobody told me this

Hmm, who should tell you this? There is a big sign for bitcoins under the payment methods. Before paying your top ups on steam you should be able to see this.

It would be better if the Steam offer the bitcoin users 2% discount. That will encourage more bitcoin payments.

what makes you think 2% discount would make any difference,does it also the same as few pennies could change the world? that would be a silly reason,but incase if the price of a games is thousand dollar,it could possibly give an affect

2% discount could cover the cost of buying the bitcoin on exchanges. So the users will not lose by paying bitcoin.
