Twitch offers discounts when you pay with Bitcoin.
Amazon-owned Twitch joins the rise of other companies in accepting payments with cryptocurrencies. This time it joined forces with payment processor BitPay.
Twitch is a platform that focuses on transmitting the Live of certain video games, having a good boom within the community Gamer. And with this news, they offer a discount of 10% for those who pay with crypto.
Bill Zielke, the CEO of Bitpay, said something very positive that of all the companies they work with, Twitch is the first to offer discounts, using Bitcoin.
Zielke also clarified that it is Twitch itself that offers discounts, not Bitpay. Since most people think it is a marketing measure.
Is all ultimately unbelievable because we know the love-hate relationship that the video game broadcasting company has with crypto-currencies.
About a year ago, Twitch removed the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin (BTC) option from their payment processors, all of which were noticed by a user who uploaded a post to Reddit.
After all that, several users realized that the news was real, but little time passed before they activated this option again.
We are facing a change that will undoubtedly give a lot to talk about and will be very positive for us as a community and also addicted to the game.
They are going to bet big since they realize the boom of video games through the blockchain, which is undoubtedly a niche that will be very rewarding by 2021.
The reality is that the virtual world will change a lot and for the better, due to these booms that more and more people are dedicated exclusively to sponsor some game and play it, then platforms as important as Twitch, are preparing the ground for what is coming.
Dmarket founder Vlad Panchenko, which is a blockchain-based video game platform. He expressed that for him, big companies like Twitch must see the blockchain world from other perspectives and keep in mind that the future for the game platforms is and will be totally in Blockchain.
In particular, I am thrilled, because this opens an unlimited range of possibilities and I hope that soon some game based on Blockchain will have its entrance in triumph in Twitch.
