Microsoft starts with Bitcoin

If you think of your future games from Microsoft, you can avail of it in Bitcoin. The Bitcoin was created in the late 2000s and many predicted a tragic fate of Bitcoin. It is clear that this critics were grossly mistaken about it. Virtual currency is still there and is used by more and more companies around the world. WordPress, for example, accepts payment in Bitcoins for all its premium features. Same thing for Baidu and PayPal.

Now it's Microsoft's turn to show his interest in virtual currency. A limited supply dematerialized goods

All persons based in the US will actually be able to buy goods on the Windows Store with Bitcoins. This applies to games Xbox Games for Xbox Music music and movies from the Xbox Video. Only dematerialized products are concerned.

Rather than developing its own system, the Redmond company has preferred to rely on a specialized service that you may know as this is BitPay.

This is not the first time that Microsoft shows its interest in Bitcoin. Bing is actually able to take into account for this currency conversions for some months now.

According to Forbes, this new mode of payment would be mostly a test. If the sauce is, Microsoft could eventually offer it for all its products, even those sold in physical stores.

Coincidence or not, Apple has also deployed an update of its site. Internet users can now use their PayPal account to pay for their orders. Be careful though because this function is limited to the English version and the American version of the store. It is therefore not possible to take advantage of this new means of payment in France.
