The platform first began accepting Bitcoin payments for
Reddit gold subscriptions in Feb. 2013, when the cryptocurrency was trading at less than $ 25 — and Coinbase was boasting that it had processed $ 1 million worth of trades in a month — and the company also accepted BTC at RedditMarket, its now - shuttered merchandise store.
Last week, a Reddit user noticed that he or she was unable to use Bitcoin to gift another user
a Reddit Gold subscription, a common way to show appreciation for a witty or informative post.
