I'm not surprised over this change. I never thought of bitcoin as real money in the first place.

Plus all the Bit Mining schemes, to put PUPs on on other peoples PCs and use their resources to create more coin.

Great for those who operate an exchange; too sketchy and unregulated for me!

Microsoft’s Windows 10 Store No Longer Accepting Bitcoin
Posted: 13 Mar 2016
Redmond pulls the plug on Bitcoin deposits in the store
Read more:http://news.softpedia.com/news/micro...n-501669.shtmlMicrosoft has silently removed support for Bitcoin in the Windows 10 Store, despite the fact that the company adopted the digital currency in late 2014 with much fanfare.
Although an official statement from Microsoft is not yet available – we’ve reached out to the company for a word on this and will update the article when we get it, an update made to the Windows Store FAQ reveals that Bitcoin is not accepted anymore when buying content from Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile stores.
“Microsoft Store doesn't accept Bitcoin. You can no longer redeem Bitcoin into your Microsoft account. Existing balances in your account will still be available for purchases from Microsoft Store, but can't be refunded,” the update, which applies to Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile, reads.
In other words, the existing balance in your account can still be used for transactions in the store, but you can’t make any new deposits using Bitcoin. What’s odd, however, is that the FAQ page where Microsoft explains how to “add money to your Microsoft account with Bitcoin” is still up and running.
