Microsoft Store No Longer Accepts Bitcoins As Payment (techtimes.com)

westlake writes: It may come as a surprise to many here [but not all! -- Ed.], but back in December 2014, Microsoft began accepting Bitcoin.as payments for apps, games, and music purchased through the Windows Store, for its Win 10, Windows Phone and Xbox customers. Big-ticket items like MS Office were excluded. The service has been quietly discontinued. Crypto-currencies may excite the geek, but the Windows Store is mass-market and middle class, and the interest just might not be there.

What is farcical about bitcoin?

The blockchain?

Proof of transfer of ownership of a digital item?

Electronic commerce?

A distributed ledger?

Or is it the non-fiat money part?

There's a lot to bitcoin. You sound like a someone in the 1990s who calls the internet a toy and that it would never be part of "real" business.
