@1Referee. I reckon it would be smarter for the Github founders to only accept a deal if the payment was in bitcoins. They might receive billions lower but they will make billions more by holding bitcoin than holding Microsoft stock hehehe.
what makes you feel that Microsoft has no potential influence on bitcoin price?
if it really really wanted ,it could buyout a fair share of coins and do whatever they desired with the price afterwards
