The article has nothing to do with bitcoin and the conclusion of the thread starter is totally stupid.

The loss of Amazon widens because the company's CEO follows a maximize sales first - earn money later strategy. That can be very dangerous if you loose the confidence of your creditors. The market cap of Amazon is extremely high compared to earnings. If investors continue to question the ability of the business to earn money in future, stock price will likely collapse.

ya.ya.yo!

You are right this is a very risky strategy and at this point probably a bad one. Amazon is at a point now where it is not going to be able to grow very much from where it is now so it should start to try to maximize profits.

That guy is AWESOME! He's a self-made millionare!! (Only in FIAT, though, which isn't as awesome as Bitcoin!) But he knows what it takes to be a successful player in the Game of life!

Actually for over a decade BOZO, I mean Bezos has been telling investors look we need infrastructure, we must ACQUIRE TECHNOLOGY I'm building the FIELD OF DREAMS believe me if I BUILD IT THEY WILL COME

So children investors entertained by the clown bozo keep buying into bozo's ponzi scam

GIVE ME MORE MONEY TO ACQUIRE TECHNOLOGY

I KNOW IN THE END THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE COMPANY

haha

bezo is a clown, I remember trying to explain ebooks to amazon long time ago, OH WE DO NOT SELL EBOOKS

ok, they're coming bozo

oh bezos caught on kindle

we have our 50 buck ebooks on Amazon with a blurb due to amazon ripping us off 65% in commissions since our ebooks are worth more than the 9.99 the nutter bezos wants to limit all epublishers to, we must price our book at 150 bozo dollars but if you look around the net you will see it really sells for 50 bucks

so people find our books on amazon and BUY ON OUR NETWORK

haha

Muah jeff

I told you EBOOKS BABY

EBOOKS

I don't exactly get what you're trying to say. Could you clarify? Are you complaining about the commission Amazon takes? Yeah, they do, but offer an incredibly successful platform and you receive unprecedented exposure for your product!

While it's true that there is interest and credibility gained by seeing the likes of Dell accepting Bitcoin, it doesn't address the other concerns that Bitcoin's market price has essentially halved from its peak and there are always stories of people losing their coins due to somebody compromising their wallet.

Sure, we've seen Bitcoin's price rise through the roof before, come down and then rise back up again, but now the stakes are even higher.

It would be great to see more companies like Dell integrating Bitcoin in some commercial capacity. It's likely just a matter of time.

Yeah, but what you're saying holds true for every prior bubble

We've seen this about 5 times now. And people keep on saying 'woah, we've seen the top, now it'll go down', or 'this price isn't sustainable' And suddenly, whoops... 10-fold increase.

When amazon will start accepting BTC the price will go down!

Every time there is a good news about BTC people sell and the price goes down

It's not that good news causes the market price of Bitcoin to go down, just that it is keeping it afloat, or simply having little to no effect.

New money (myself included) came to Bitcoin towards the back-end of 2013 having been absorbed by the bubble. The price rocketed due to new money and interest as an investment opportunity. That time will likely come again, when or how far it will go is anybody's guess.

Big news would play a part, but I feel that it would have to be significant.

But good news attract the interest of the media. And if the media starts writing about Bitcoin in a large manner, a lot of new people will start investing in it. Also many people are still too careful and have their doubts. When large companies like Dish, Dell, or maybe Amazon start accepting it, they gain trust in it.

Amazon lost millions to Bitcoin. Their customers are spending money to buy bitcoins and spending at other online stores to support the currency revolution.

Perhaps you should add "IMO" to your thread title or you'll be suspected of intentionally misleading people with nonsense.

I don't think they 'loss' in the literal sense of the word. It is just just somewhat missed opportunity. And judging by their recent actions they will adopt BTC maybe even in this year.

Amazon doesn't care about 'millions'. If adding a Bitcoin payment option is only going to puzzle the customers (if there's only the slightest chance it will - in their perception) they will just drop the idea.

Yup, this headline is pure bs. It's like the opposite of FUD. Is there a word for that? Regardless I don't think amazon is at the point where it's losing money by not accepting bitcoin, nor do I think many people are buying coins just to spend them to support crypto.

The opposite of FUD would be DUF.
