> Nobody accepts BTC as payment for goods

Well not nobody.

Printed 7 months ago. Steam and Microsoft have stopped accepting bitcoins. I don't know offhand but suspect many of the other ones probably have as well.

Microsoft added it back a week ago and several companies have since been added to the list. So your original statement is wrong as is your suspicion.

Because of the falling price forced people out of the network and reduced both network congestion and transfer fee prices.

Moon or payments? Pick one.
