Reddit has purportedly expelled the alternative for clients to pay for their excellent enrollment program, Reddit Gold, in Bitcoin (BTC) refering to an "up and coming Coinbase change", as indicated by a Reddit post in subreddit/r/btc distributed March 23.

Reddit client BitcoinXio posted a video of the means to give another client Reddit Gold, demonstrating that the main installment alternatives are PayPal and charge card.

Reddit client emoney40, an arbitrator of a few subreddits yet not/r/btc, remarked that the change is expected to the Coinbase Commerce change:

"The forthcoming Coinbase change, joined with a few bugs around the Bitcoin installment choice that were influencing buys for specific clients, drove us to expel Bitcoin as an installment choice."

Coinbase posted on its Medium page toward the beginning of March 2018 about resigning Coinbase Merchant Tools set up of Coinbase Commerce, which they recognized "might be troublesome to Coinbase Merchant Tool clients." As of April 30, dealers that utilized Coinbase Merchant Tools will never again approach that item, with May 31 as the last date for the expected change to Coinbase Commerce.
