The campaign launched a few weeks ago now got more than 15,000 signatures. Its key point is that by rejecting cryptocurrencies as a payment method Amazon is cutting off from their service many people who have no access to the traditional banking system (by various researches, it's almost 40% of the world population). Mark E. points out that there are more than 50 small businesses and charity organizations already accepting Doge as a payment method.
"Amazon.com being a leader in innovation should accept Dogecoin, as a form of payment. Dogecoin is fast, cheap, and stable. It is stable in value, has the lowest transaction fee of other major coins, has a huge supply of coins and has a very large, active community with on-going development. It's time for Amazon.com to be one of the first major companies to see the power of Dogecoin and to accept it as a payment method.", - the petition on the Change.org states.
Dogecoin is the 20th largest cryptocurrency with an overall market capitalization of $744 million and $103 million daily trading volume. For the last few days price of Doge is showing stable growth, backed with news about Dogethereum release - smart contract connecting Dogecoin and Ethereum networks. At press time, 1 DOGE equals to $0.006410 USD.
