Shit, did I leave the stove on?

I just had a friend check his US Steam account for that under payment info but he said it wasn't there. Perhaps this screenshot is a leak and it's not live yet in the USA.

I was so excited I had to go check it out for myself but being in Europe there was of course no Bitcoin option there as expected haha. Looking forward to having this available asap.

one should remember that who provide the possibility of using bitcoin is only doing the 50% of the work to help adoption

if none then, use bitcoin to buy stuff(game in this case) from them, it mean that it was pointless, so let's wait an see the actual usage before saying "horay"

Fingers crossed this comes to fruition. Lord knows we could really do with something significant to make the price go up.

Decentralised Amazon & ICO Hub

That would be so awesome if it really would have happened. If this come to exist, Bitcoin's price will grow by 100$ really quickly Grin

I want to see proper sources for this, otherwise this is just another load of paypal style "Valve likes bitcoin!" articles for clickbait.

Yay! I knew this day would come! So far, I haven't heard any official words from Valve, but I'll admit that the new translations are promising.

Transactions are processed with BitPay, so I'm assuming the coins will be converted to fiat instantly. That's besides the point; as long as I can pay in bitcoin, I don't care what they do with the coins I pay them.

At the very least, it'll show Bitcoin to a whole new audience and legitimize it. Positive exposure it what bitcoin needs!

About time to start seeing big gaming corporations adopting cryptocurrencies.
This was bound to happen sooner or later, and it might well be a golden pot for the gaming industry.
