Right, so who is buying BTC in your scenario? Foreigners seeking to cash out into a local currency? The number of countries with a currency that Amazon won't touch must be very small, and the number of businessmen interested in such a convoluted system in said countries must be even smaller (the number of entrepreneurs in those types of countries isn't going to be large, period). That does not sound even remotely plausible as a business model.
