Hi there,
first off - @admin, I´m not sure if this is the right forum category, so please shift if unadequate!
I wanted to know why big companies like Microsoft, Paypal, Overstock and now consulting firms (with PwC HKK) accept BTC as a payment method? Regarding the latter, it´s due to increasing cooperations with start-ups that operate with BTC as main payment, but regarding the others?
From my point of view, companies with sizes like the above mentioned (refering to cash flows and generated income) are normally risk averse and therefore it seems counter intuitive to me to accept BTC as a payment method due to its heavy volatility.
Moreover, not knowing how regulation might influence the outcome for BTC is another argument for not accepting it?!
This leaves me with only one (rather) simple solution, which is that they are convinced of BTC price rises (in the short-term at least), or even a bit more fare-fetched that they are convinced of BTC as "the new digital currency" or similar.
But that´s not plausible for me!
Does somebody know how much BTC Microsoft or the others generate with the exchange of fiat to BTC and vice-versa?
Can someone please help me out, it´s really grinding my gears Huh Huh
Thanks a lot Smiley
The popularity and population of bitcoin is growing by the day thus businesses worldwide are now accepting it. They are also coping up with the advancement of new technology that is why they are adopting it.
May i add, big corporations has the capabilities to fund these technology, they have huge assets to level with current value of bitcoin today, unlike small merchants who has limited funds, plus, you are right they can read the trend based on popularity how bitcoin will be more beneficial for them in the future, they have long term goal as far as investing in bitcoinis concern by accepting it as payment.
