Steam should bring back Bitcoin payments – especially now with VISA and MasterCard's recent overreach

With the recent impositions and restrictions being enforced by VISA and MasterCard, it's becoming clearer than ever how much power these centralized payment giants hold over our ability to make free, open transactions online.

Steam once accepted Bitcoin, and it's time they reconsider that decision.

Bitcoin is decentralized, censorship-resistant, and gives users the freedom to transact without the need for approval from third parties. Unlike traditional payment networks, Bitcoin doesn’t care where you live, what your bank thinks, or what policies are changing behind closed doors at major financial institutions.

If anything, recent events show exactly why platforms like Steam should offer alternatives that put power back into the hands of the users. Bringing back Bitcoin support would be a major step in that direction.

Steam is a pioneer in digital distribution—it should also be a pioneer in embracing true financial freedom.
