If this is true then it is amazing. Making payments through bitcoin in Amazon makes everything easier. Although there would be a lot of scam. I hope they are already prepared for this.
Is it true?? If it is true, then great news for Amazon as well as for Amazon users. It is a well-known fact that Amazon is the largest online shopping website works all over the world, so for online shopping bitcoin users can use their coins for shopping and all, if it is true amazing news for all of us.

Further rumors are surfacing that Amazon will announce a Bitcoin-related innovation Thursday, as a German newspaper fuels speculation. While multiple other midsize operators have since engaged with Bitcoin, Amazon’s participation would still be a first-of-its-kind move.

Amazon accepting bitcoin will mark the beginning of bitcoin to limelight. However, this news seems like rumour and it's there has been no official statement from Amazon.

Gonna be huge for Bitcoin if it's true. Could this be the reason of today slight price rise? Amazon is the biggest e-commerce in the world, we can finally say that Bitcoin is going mainstream when Amazon accepts it. This could be just another rumor but I really hope it's true.

What's the biggest company that accept Bitcoin right now? I guess it would be Steam and Microsoft, right?

Steam has just dropped it.

The same goes for Amazon: there is a long way from "Amazon accepts it" to "I can buy something on Amazon". The problem is that you really cannot efficiently pay with bitcoin, actually as the things are today you cannot pay with bitcoin at all. The fees are outragous, like 20-30USD, and if you choose smaller fees you are stuck with your transaction for weeks.

So don't get too excited guys.



They made just the right move because look at Steam. All of businesses needs stability to be able to make it work and bitcoin is very volatile so they won't suit each other. But don't worry it will happen when its price is too expensive to rise and fall dramatically.

In my book price volatility is not a big deal. Actually for micropayments it is not a problem if the price changes even 10%, it is a few cents, and for larger transactions your payment processor does the job for you.

Steam went from BTC to LTC but LTC is very volatile too

The real problem is that the network is congested to the point it is stuck. LTC you can use, but I predict that when it gets as popular as bitcoin is now, it will get stuck too with its own congestion. I am really worried about all crypto ecosystem.

Because of the high volatility of bitcoin, many companies do not want to accept it as payment, Steam did not refuse to accept payment in bitcoins for a long time because of this.

Yes, this is the start. Bitcoin reaches all over the world due to its drastic value gain from last few months. Peoples interest in bitcoin is incresing and hence company like amazon which is internet retailer take decision towards flow. As bitcoin is the digital currency and open to all, so it is thread to connect world. So most of merchant and retailers accepting bitcoin.
Thats a great news.

For accepting Bitcoin, crypto has to be more stable.

we don't know. just wait and see
considering the fee that bitcoin take (about 0,0005) it's quite expensive enough.
any altcoins may it will happen . btc just wait and see

Heard that bitcoin transaction fee is so high lately. For this reason, it is difficult for amazon to accept bitcoin as buyers do not want to pay $20 transaction fee for $20 or $50 purchase...

I have heard about the possibility of Amazon accepting Bitcoin, however I know for sure that another company will be launching a similar market place that will only be accept crypto for payment. And not only Bitcoin but a choice of around 8 currencies which will get around the large tx fees of Bitcoin.

Amazon is the biggest most popular online product platform.Sometimes i buy online product from amazon by other currency Neteller & payoneer.But if amazon accept BTC it's very easier to buy product from amazon.This is big good news for everyone.

If many more company accept bitcoin mean bitcoin demand will be higher. In other case bitcoin also more popluar. But one thing, will you buy goods or stuff if the fee of sending bitcoin is more than the price that you should pay? I dont think so
that's why every company should be concerned about fee when transact using bitcoin. it is useless if the purchased price does not match the fee incurred during the purchase may be due to fundemental bitcoin is still difficult to measure

This news to me is absolutely no surprise. Since the current BTC is very promising, Amazon is willing to accept this currency because of its strong and stable growth. At present, some large companies have started to allow payment by BTC, so Amazon's acceptance of BTC will make other e-commerce platforms apply, gradually BTC will become more and more popular, I very much hope that the next 10 years will be popular around the world.  Tongue

I still think it will be a years or two before amazon starts accepting bitcoin. The problem with Botcoin is that it is too volatile for the mainstream markets to accept in exchange for goods. Hopefully they see the reward site of it and start accepting BTC.
