If this is not another fake that is very good. The inability to buy goods with bitcoins is in my opinion the biggest flaw of all crypto currencies. If Amazon really will give us the opportunity to buy goods with bitcoin it will make bitcoin as transparent for the government and we save money on exchange.

The news seems fake but I will not be surprised that in future they finally accept. It is getting every time more social impact and it is limited supply value will only increase. I read in Switzerland they allow you to pay tax in BTC here is the link http://fortune.com/2017/09/12/switzerland-chiasso-bitcoin-tax-zug/ It is pretty obvious they try to get a bunch of it, so even if this government starts doing it, how big companies won't start doing the same?

That fake news created a lot of buzz all because if Amazon would finally get into the Bitcoin bandwagon then it can really be a big news and a big boos to Bitcoin as it can push the coin to be a utilized currency in everyday commerce and not just a store of value and a vehicle of speculation like it is now.

Now, while it was not really true and Amazon did not became a part of Bitcoin -- yet -- there is a big possibility that in the near future Amazon would finally feel the need to add Bitcoin as part of the many ways to buy their products online. once Amazon would come in we could expect others to also follow the lead.

And it would be a big catalyst that can help push Bitcoin's value even higher.

The news is pretty good. I believe this is the beginning of Bitcoin's progress. hopefully, the price can be more expensive next year.

big companies like Amazon (specially if they are located in USA) won't add bitcoin until two things become clear for them:

1. there will be customers using bitcoin.
and this is the most important of all. if they come to believe that there is going to be enough demand for it, they will add bitcoin without hesitation.

2. bitcoin is regulated
this is less important because we can see other big companies like Valve already accepted bitcoin without any problem and it has been a year. but being regulated (like Japan) speeds up their decision making process by a lot.

The acceptance of bitcoin from amazon will be a boost in the cryptoworld to get mainstream. Hope it will happen and more centralised marketplaces will start accepting it.

According to a newsletter from The James Altucher Report, Amazon will soon begin accepting Bitcoin, which they will officially announce as early as October 26th during their earnings conference call.

News like these pop out every now and then. If this ever happens, Amazon is taking a big risk because BTC value is unpredictable. They can gain or loss a lot if they soon accept BTC

The news is fake, I guess. But then it might be a strategy of Amazon to see how people will react. If they see that many people is okay with it, they will probably do it. Think of how many things you can buy in Amazon since you are now rich in BTC.

This is old news, It was already posted in Reddit sometime ago. Amazon is a big company, If this was true, someone from the inside would've leaked it already. Regardless, the guy who actually spoke about this is some kind of con artist from what I've read so better not hope much.

I have not seen an official announcement from amazon. this is indeed very good news for the development of bitcoin but when all that can not be true it will be useless. so there needs to be an official statement from amazon about the next step on bitcoin. because then the bitcoin and amazon will make them both stronger and bigger as one of the important sectors.

Its maybe true.

the chances of this news being true are really dim.
the sources are not reliable and they are mostly making a guess. they don't have real proof. for example back when Steam started accepting bitcoin, everyone was speculating like this too but the difference was that by that time we had some small proof (Valve email to some Steam game devs telling them about bitcoin).

my speculation is that Amazon will eventually accept bitcoin. if it isn't this October it will be pretty soon. they will be left behind if they don't.

It won't have a major effect on price nowadays mostly anyon who uses the web daily on social media or tech news is aware of bitcoin and there are so many sites which work as middle man to buy things from amazon using bitcoin and also gives a discount if amazon is able provide that the price will have a positive effect

The news seems to be fake news we have to wait for official announcement because without government interaction it is not possible to accept bitcoin.
That's why people should wait for official announcement from the owner of Amazon.

Why something from a government should be needed for Amazon to accept Bitcoin as a payment method. Do you think retailers ask for govt to be able to accept Paypal, cards etc? Nope. None of the currents merchants accepting Bitcoin asked something to any institution.

Since Amazon is expert about taxes optimizations, to who they should ask permission? USA, Luxembourg, Ireland? U.N.?

If its true this would be the biggest Bitcoin announcement ever, but unfortunately this is not the first time people have speculated on Amazon adding Bitcoin as a payment.

I just saw this. I will stay skeptic until confirmed news. I mean it's possible. Remember when the fake news about Steam accepting Bitcoins appeared? Nobody was believing that Steam was going to accept Bitcoin, then it got confirmed as fake, but eventually news arose again and guess what, everyone said it was fake news again, but it happened for real. So what this means is, don't think it's fake because it may actually be true and if it's true we are going $10,000 easy.

Well you can't really compare number of people using Steam and Amazon. I believe that they do want to accept Bitcoin at some point but just image legal stuff that they are required to do, especially in the US

Very interesting, but it probably has already been priced it, because regular users are the last to get the rumors and news. But in the long run it might give Bitcoin a good bump as this is what we are all waiting for - more and more companies to start accepting it, especially the big and popular ones.

"China bans Bitcoin" was also a fake news for a very long time, I think what is happening is that when people in government or some company start discussing possibilities about Bitcoin, it leaks thus creating rumors, which at some point might turn into news.

Not a trustworthy news source, most likely fake.
There hasn't been any other website covering this, let alone any official confirmation.
