When Amazon will accept bitcoin we will se a BIG spike in price, this will be the real beginning.

How do you know? We've had quite a few big merchants accepting bitcoin this year and the price didn't budge. In fact, it went down. I hope you're right about amazon though.

It probably depends on if people actually uses bitcoin on amazon and how amazon treats the bitcoins after them get them.
It's still a pain if you want to buy bitcoins, so Amazon is unlikely to accept bitcoin until that's resolved.

This is how I see it play out.
awareness -> regulation adoption -> banking adoption -> public adoption -> amazon adoption

Sooner or later they will accept bitcoin but for the moment there are only rumors and no certainties.

pretty sweet to have Google and Amazon fighting over your company and sold for close to 1 billion in 3 years Grin

Yeah they could have at least kept justin.tv running Sad, guess it didnt make any money

I guess they made the right choice when Twitch's growth exploded. Great pivot.

"Twitch has been acquired by Google, leaving many forum users asking the obvious question: If Twitch.tv accepts Bitcoin and Google owns Twitch, doesn't Google accept Bitcoin?" Smiley
Anything that generates profit and many people's usage is acquired by the companies like google.Twitch is now a product of google company and Google itself is a search engine.

** the quote is from the article, but it's been pointed out that Twitch.tv chose Amazon over Google
