Microsoft no longer accepts payment by bitcoins
Wed Jan 10, 2018 3:49 pm
Microsoft has closed the ability to pay by bitcoins.
The Microsoft solution was confirmed by the customer support team, Cointelegraph writes.
The main reason for stopping the support of the most popular cryptographic products is volatility (cost variability) and the risk associated with cryptographic currencies.
Customers can still use bitcoins to add funds to a Microsoft account from which you can buy games, movies and programs. However, these funds can not be used in the Microsoft store and can not be returned.
On December 16, Bitcoin crypto value reached $ 19,000, after which the course began to fall.
December 22, the cost of one unit bitcoin collapsed below 13 thousand dollars .
As of January 10th. the cost of Bitcoin fluctuates at the level of 15-16 thousand dollars.
