I really hope Steam will start to accept Bitcoin (via Lightning possibly) over this. Due to its decentralization, it is censorship free by default. And if Steam accepts Bitcoin, that would be a massive boost for the liquidity aspect of BTC: You could basically sell your BTC to anyone who wants to make a Steam purchase, making it similarly fungible as Amazon gift vouchers.
Didn't Steam previously accept Bitcoin and then stop as no-one was using that option?
I learned that they did, but this was in 2017 before Lightning was a thing.
> making it similarly fungible as Amazon gift vouchers
This isn’t as accurate as you might hope. I can pretty much only buy hobby-related things on Steam but I can buy just about any non-perishable household item on Amazon.
Not sure about bitcoin, but maybe a stable coin would be interesting.
