Hello guys, I NEED to play Baldur's Gate Series for... reasons. And my unique way to use my currency out of my country is via BTC. Gog doesn't accept BTC but there's any other website who sell gog game-code and accept BTC?

Thanks! (PaySafeCard atleast in my country doesn't convert the money in to the EUR or USD currency)

Well, the only legal source for GoG games is GoG, sorry!
Oh, and what is BTC?

Bitcoin, AKA Cryptocurrency (Dogecoin as an example).

Never buy GOG games in 3rd party sites.

ANY GOG key from a third party website is a key brought with fraud and WILL be revoked. You are SOL unless you find a way to use paypal.

Not entirely true. Many of the third party people bought the keys legitimately. You just have no way of knowing if they did or not.

GOG accepts Webmoney. Although, i don't know if it is available as GOG's payment option for Argentina.
I *think* you can add your bitcoins to your WMX wallet (WMX - is the name for wallets for bitcoins, WMZ - for dollar wallets, WMR - for wallets in Russian Roubles, etc).
Webmoney has Exchange services, where you can safely trade your bitcoins for any currency you need (or, in this case, GOG accepts).

There is a wiki in Russian on how to add your BTC to WMX wallet, a sort of a How-To.

Of course, there are a lot of examples (on Steam) with renowed resellers someones have a deal with Steam and other didn't but they are 100% legit (G2A is Scam paradise).

Sadly it's not possible, the payment method is via Credit Card or Bank Transfer. I think I could go to a trade web to trade (redundant) paypal usd and btc.

I mean, hey. If you want to spend your monopoly money, then by all means go spend it somewhere else.

I don't think GOG is interested in currency with no actual meaning.

Errr... hmmm... Actually there might be someone with a code to give you BG for free, at least the original vs the EE version. Let me look if i happen to have a code attached to my EE version for you...

edit: Yep

If you want it, just ask and i'll PM it to you. Pretty sure it has never been touched.

This makes me wonder, does GOG accept space bucks?

In the Real World™, Bitcoin have no difference with any other money.
Modern currency have not much actual meaning.

Except you can avoid the banks in order to pay someone or get money from someone. No centralized institution.

At least... That's what Keizer says.

About bitcoin, I always find it a bit odd that one bitcoin is something like 500 USD or something. Why is it so high? Would you buy GOG games for 0.01 bitcoints, or something like that?

To me it would appear that in many (western) countries, the authorities seem to be gently pushing people not to use cash money, but only use debit/credit cards, money transfers (through banks) etc. There are also limits how much cash money you can bring with you from country to country, etc.

I can understand why this is state's wet dream because then they could more easily track when and how people are trading. For instance for taxing purposes so that you can't pay someone with cash without paying taxes, or tracking if someone, who is getting social benefits from the state, is also getting money from other people (e,g, salary, or even money gifts). End to the grey market and hidden payments.

I see that as reason many people would start using bitcoins (instead of cash) as it is similarly untrackable.

Bitcoin is trackable. It's the most trackable thing ever. All transactions go into a public ledger for everyone to see.
Bitcoin's one [s]advantage[/s] selling point was that it couldn't be issued at-will, and some people are paranoid about central banks of the world screwing them over. Now even this is gone; its sole remaining actual advantage is that authorities can't prevent you from using it in an organized way. This is in isolation good (seriously, governments should institute national digital currencies -- without outsourcing it to private entities which charge fees and can deny people service at will), but not worth the overhead for first-world people.
