A few days ago someone said they bought an Xbox from Takealot with Bitcoin. How did they do that?

I don't see it as a payment method:

I do see mention in a 2014 article it was via PayFast: https://mybroadband.co.za/news/internet/106487-takealot-com-now-taking-bitcoin.html

Select EFT and you'll get an option for bitcoin on the next page IIRC. It's still handled by PayFast.

I don't know why they removed the explicit bitcoin option. Takelot pulling a stupid again. Their loss. Many an order was diverted to Raru before I noticed that.

The Payfast option is still there, right at the very bottom of the takealot home page you will see the payment options, I bought something not so long ago, but still Raru ftw.

That's what I said, but it's not in the radio buttons bio posted. There used to be an explicit bitcoin option as well before they decided to bury it under EFT.

I don't remember ever seeing a direct BTC buy option, it's always been payfast, same as Raru.

I'm talking about the radio buttons. There was one with the bitcoin logo over it. Thought the actual payment would obviously PayFast.

Capiche?

Nope sorry, I've never seen any BTC related icon anywhere on the site, only after you get redirected to payfast, not saying it didn't happen, just never seen it in all my years using takealot.
 
I see there are car dealerships in the USA accepting bitcoin. Even a Lamborghini dealer. If only we had that option here to enjoy our bitcoin spoils without SARS coming knocking.

Are the dealerships holding Bitcoin or selling it immediately for real dollars? If they convert to dollars, people are walking away with new cars which is being paid for by people who are holding/buying Bitcoin like yourself. The dollars have to come from somewhere.

Anyone think price may dip after October 25th? Is this just people buying to get free Bitcoin Gold?
