Quote :
Microsoft is now accepting Bitcoin as a payment option for downloading digital content. Microsoft started using Bitcoin since earlier this week which is months after adding a Bitcoin convertor to its search engine, Bing. You can use Bitcoin to fund your Microsoft account and purchasing content from Windows and Xbox games, music and video stores. Although you can use Bitcoin to fund your Microsoft account, but you can’t purchase services like office 365.

With this move, Microsoft is the biggest company that supports Bitcoin. Microsoft is integrating BitPay to process Bitcoin transactions and any money added with Bitcoin can’t be refunded, at least for now.

Right now, only American Microsoft accounts can use Bitcoin and it’s not confirmed yet if Microsoft plans to roll out this option to additional countries in the future or not.

I guess they're jumping on the gimmick Bandwagon. Now all Bitcoin enthusiasts are gonna buy Xboxes.

So since it's digital, I'm assuming the picture of those coins aren't actually bitcoins?

It's the go-to Bitcoin stock photo. I'm pretty sure they're just physical Bitcoins, though that completely ruins the point.

Bitcoin users are a very enthusiastic market. They'll buy stuff like crazy just to help make Bitcoin more popular. Dogecoin is the same.
