Alibaba should be the next global giant to accept Bitcoin according to 4,500 participants in a survey this week.
52 percent of respondents to the survey by Digital Currency Group creator Barry Silbert believe the Chinese marketplace is next in line to embrace the virtual currency.
Other options included Amazon (31 percent) and Google (12 percent), while only five percent of those answering on Twitter believed Facebook would be the first of the group to get serious about Bitcoin. According to Barry Silbert

The Chinese market is really taking over the world. If Alibaba does this genuinely before Amazon, then they will really change the game of online shopping
I really hope so. Amazon is killing librarians and does not even accept something as mainstream as PayPal. It is finally time for them to either adapt or die !

These surveys have happened many many times with heaps of vendors like Ebay, Amazon and other online giants. I am not expecting Alibaba to accept Bitcoin any time soon, but with the recent issues with Japan and Google investing 40 million, I would doubt that bitcoin is starting to pick up the pace and maybe Alibaba will open the floodgates for bitcoin. The future for bitcoin seems very promising.
Even if this is just a poll, it's a solid proof that bitcoin is starting to penetrate more industry giants. This really can happen in the future because if there's a huge request from customers to implement bitcoins as a payment then there's no doubt that those company will follow. Remember the famous companies' policy "customer is always right".

Once the majority of the worlds biggest retailers accept bitcoin more and more people will consider using it too and that will speed up adoption. We need to be careful however as it will only create more congestion in the network, and I hope scaling solutions come fast.
Will this is good news for us if this could be happen! because we can buy things easily on this alibaba or amazon and used our bitcoin without cash-out or convert it into fiat.
Maybe this will make a big impact on the entire shopping platform. Also this will help more usage of cryptocurrencies. Recently heard a news that alibaba is with plans of implementing their own token similar to cryptocurrencies that can be used through alipay.
yes the impact will really will be better on online shopping and business of merchants as Alibaba is a bigger platform for merchants.It is awesome to hear that Alibaba is doing that it can easy for us to buy shopping online easily.If we didn't transaction of our BTC into other currency then it's better to shopping online in Alibaba.Great job done by Alibaba.
Speculation or not, fake or not, this is an important thing about the adoption of bitcoin in online shopping. Even as a rumor. We all believe bitcoin will be accepted by one of the biggest online stores. Let it be Alibaba.
Considering Google just invested $40 million into Bitcoin, it wouldn't be surprising if they were next to pull the trigger and start accepting it.
So glad alibaba accept btc , probably because the owner is jack ma one of the richest man on the earth so he try new marketing strategy with btc as a payment , tried register their affiliate program long ago its decent market and available on third world country , looking forward for next movement
Why does Amazon need Bitcoin when it can and most likely will offer its own "coin" or digital currency?
It would instantly have millions of people adopting it, massive media coverage and instant credibility.
Win/Win for Bezos and Co.

I'm sure Alibaba would love to add bitcoin if it had bigger blocks and people would use it.
More braindead posts by 25bigblocktard. No amount of blocksize increase would allow for mainstream usage at the level Amazon would need. We need lightning network to be able to cater for the fast, cheap and huge amount of transactions we would need. It's clear that we want that but not at the expense of huge blocks that would turn bitcoin into a centralized mess.
It's just speculation or just opinion . But google recently invested huge amount in blockchain.info may google will make and accept payment through bitcoin . Think about the day you receive your absence earnings in blockchain wallet.
Most of the companies you mentioned will make use of some kind of Payment processor and these centralized services will add fees to their
services and in the end, you as the consumer will have to pay more to cover these added fees. It would have been great if they accepted Bitcoin
directly, but that will not happen. { governments will not allow that } If Alibaba started to accept Bitcoin, it will be bigger than when Overstock
decided to accept Bitcoin.

I don't think few thousand people know anything we don't know.
This sounds like huge speculations.

Ahh, another click bait. All major retailers will accept bitcoin. Just be patient. They won't want to lose out in the race, This will force them to adopt bitcoin.
Capitalism itself will make bitcoin viable. Which is weird because you would expect fiat currency to win.
The best weapon of the rich will make them obsolete.

Though i'd welcome the news of these major companies accepting bitcoins, this is just a poll and doesn't really mean anything, the company might decide against accepting bitcoins all together. I believe Overstock are already accepting bitcoins
