Will steam accept Dogecoin in the future?

[Iambetternyou]

I was just curious if Steam and our great benefactor Gabe are considering accepting the Moon currency Dogecoin in the future? Does anyone know or have opinions on if that would ever happen?

Not only are they accepting it, Steam will only allow you to make purchases through dogecoin

[Tito Shivan]

Considering they dropped Bitcoin support... I wouldn't hold my breath on it.
You can always exchange your crypto for money to make your purchases.

The “moon currency?”

cryptos are a big scam

Crypto currency is way too unstable to make a good reliable payment options for most stores.

[WhiteKnight]

Never.

[Pixel]

never

[Zekiran]

Sure, but you can only ever use it to buy Early Access games with incredibly bad track records for ever releasing.

[Tolkien Book Fan]

Given that virtually everyone who suggests using cryptocurrencies has openly stated that they want it done to increase the value of their own investment and can't give genuine reasons why it would benefit Valve, I presume never.

[Crystal Sharrd]

Just use real money like everyone else. Problem solved. No need to worry about buying things with fake currencies that are harming the environment.

[secuda]

Not after they dropped Bitcoin why would they pursue another crypto coin with similar fluxuation value?

No resources to back up. And with mining them, the person who comes up with a quantum computer wins it all. Only possible in a one world one nation scenario.

Crypto currencies have nothing to back them up except the founders' "word" that they aren't fraud. Which is no guarantee at all.

They're pyramid schemes. The people that found them create a worthless commodity and take a huge chunk of it themselves, then try to pass the rest on to others so the founders can profit themselves by selling the chunk they reserved for themselves.

Bicoin was tried & dropped for not being a practical currency for payments. You can't use something for payments which tops out at ~7 transactions/second (the particular number doesn't matter, what matters is it's existence and the low value) meaning things can go sloooow and just to make this worse, it's so volatile, you're ending up getting something else entirely (single-percent differences in a day) a day later. Which is soooo fun when just PAYING for things, not speculating. Dogecoin, being exactly the same wall just with a different coat of paint, got the exactly same properties, namely being impractical for payments->won't happen.

OK, please explain this. I've heard this statement made before, and I just don't understand. If the currency isn't real, HOW can it hurt the environment?
