it has not confirmed yet right ? do not over hyping about something that we are not sure,
i remembered a months ago when cameron and winklevoss proposing it,i found a lot a threads and an articles about it will be approved by them and etc.
but in the reality ? it's rejected by them and because of that the price crashed for the moment.
to be honest i never heard about this actually,and seems like this issue is not well known,right.
do not get me wrong,i hope they can list Bitcoin as one of their payment point.
but do not let your head up to high because it has not yet confirmed by them,and currently we are facing a great storm cause by the chinese.
so stay cool and do not let your emotion take control

It's not confirmed yet, plus this is not realistic for Amazon. Some countries are banning bitcoin and other things. Amazon can't have bitcoin payment service during this situation clearly.

Which countries? There's just China. That too is only because they will clean up the system first. Any one backing Bitcoins would know that this is the right time to push it. Who knows they may buy a few themselves and announce it and get rewarded.

Will this only be for USA or worldwide?

If it gets implemented then I would assume it would have to start with countries where it is currently legal.

As per a report broken by Squaker.org Amazon will accept Bitcoins as a form of payment soon. We could see a likely announcement on October 26th during Amazon's earnings conference call.

This could turn out to be a massive moment in the BTC history which could open up further possibilities.

Here's the report

Finally, some positive news for Bitcoin!

It'll obviously be great news for Bitcoin if Amazon decided to accept it and I think that it's going to spark a new round of pumps if it does happen in October or even just this year. Amazon is one of the biggest online ecommerce sites no doubt, and for them to show interest in Bitcoin at all is a major news in the Bitcoin field.

the price could well go above and beyond $5,000 per Bitcoin at the announcement once they announce it. and that is quite conservative as we have seen much higher pumps.

Let's wait till October 26th and find out.

Indeed. I've been reading about Amazon accepting bitcoin for probably a good year
now, and I'll believe it when I see it. It would be smart for them to do so, as the people who
generally use Amazon are pretty tech savvy and would be the ones most likely to actually
use bitcoin as a currency. In other words, it's about time they started taking BTC. Hell,
I haven't ordered anything from them in a few years, but I'd be happy to spend some coin
there if they took it, just to show my support.

This could definitely be possible. Amazon has expressed interest in the past in accepting btc if i'm not mistaken as well.

Them being interested in accepting bitcoin and announcing acceptance of bitcoin is going to prove to be a very positive piece for the traders and they are likely going to open up long positions. I'd say as soon as they announce it we can expect at least $300 increase in btc price.

Though the timing is still unknown, but end of October seems likely.

Amazon accepting bitcoin would be YUGE, to say the least.

Maybe I missed it when reading the article, but if indeed it is true that Amazon will be accepting bitcoin, will they be accepting bitcoin directly or via a bitcoin payment processor like Coinbase or BitPay?

If you read the article you can clearly see it is FAKE news.

it would really mean a lot to a bitcoin. If that happens this means that the widespread use of bitcoin, Bitcoin prices will rise. the fact indicates payment using bitcoin is very convenient so this can happen. waiting

I buy on Amazon, but I would prefer to continue to pay as I do now with fiat, because of I better will stay bitcoin to myself which is going to rise and bring me much more money, so better I would have this money than Amazon which is rich already, but I don't Tongue

I wish it was true but seems like fake news. Eventually Ebay and Amazon will have to add bitcoin in order to keep up with the advances but we'll see when it happens.

This. I feel sure that if it was really true, bitcoin's price would have jumped as Amazon executives would have rushed to buy (because bitcoin is unregulated and they don't have to disclose if they own any, they buy without upsetting the SEC).

How do you know Amazon hasn't been buying millions since the $2800 dip? Hell, Jamie Dimon and Jeff Bezos may have teamed up to crash the market and buy a of cheap BTC before the news of Amazon accepting BTC became official. If it was fake, wouldn't Amazon have said it's fake already?

I would buy right now if I didn't own any BTC, you can't miss the potential pump if it turns out to be real.

This is what I was trying to achieve. Spread the news enough and with the right channels to get a denial from official sources. If there's no denial then they could either accept btc or get into the blockchain space.

Would love to see this, as it has been discussed for years.

But my bet is this is a completely fake rumor and nothing more. Would like to be proven wrong though.

If that happen, it would really mean a lot to a bitcoin and bitcoin users. One of greatest selling sites to accept bitcoin as a way of paying is not a small thing. I think that is a big step for bitcoin, but i hope it will not be its last. It would make me even more happier if more companies, big as Amazon start accepting bitcoin. First time i was this happy, it was when i have seen that Steam accept bitcoin as a way of paying. Go go Bitcoin! Grin

There is trouble abrewing

if it turns out to be true and Amazon does really start accepting bitcoin directly not though third parties like it is doing now with gift cards and all, then it will be huge for bitcoin!
Amazon is big and kind of global in many countries in the world and a great number of people are using it every day. if they start accepting bitcoin that will be HUGE publicity for bitcoin and in long run it will cause to a much greater adoption.

That's a good point you make. Anyways I spend monitoring the prices multiple times a day. Will know if it starts going up.

if this is true, it will be really a big leap for both bitcoin and amazon. I am looking forward of this October now. Wink
