Fake. I am not even going to explain why, because everyone with a brain should know why.

I just did a quick search on google: "amazon to start accepting bitcoins?"

No concrete information yet! Still

There is even a petition created on change.org to get them accept Bitcoins  Cheesy lol

https://www.change.org/petitions/amazon-com-get-them-to-accept-bitcoin-as-a-payment-option


Only time will tell


Exactly, they would be spreading this news as soon as possible to get as much media attention as they could before implementing it.

"we are in the process of ..." could mean anything. e.g. "some of our geeky nerds look into this and poke in their nose while reading funny emails like yours"

don't forget, that amazon has its overall goal to never do something which makes customers unhappy. even if that means that they lose money with you or have to make up some half-baked story, etc.

This would seriously affect Amazon's margin in a positive manner.

Pretty sure that a regular customer service rep doesn't get the memos on what is currently being developed / implemented. And if Amazon was going to add Bitcoin-payments, they'll sure as hell make an official announcement to grab the media attention rather than let the news just be casually mentioned by CS.

I say fake.

Amazon may be working on Bitcoin or they may not be, but I don't consider this message trustworthy.

If Amazon is serious, it makes sense for them to create their own payment proccessor as it would cut out the middle man fees from BitPay or CoinBase.

If this is true then great news although I am very sceptical as there is no way to verify this information  Wink

If this is true, I am selling everything I own for Bitcoin, but I'm 99.9% sure it is BS.

I think it's only a matter of time before Amazon begins accepting Bitcoin.

They're not going to just sit around and be out-competed by overstock.com.

That would be cool and great for the bitcoin community, but I am not sure if they worded their response correctly to you.   I heard that they were in the process of creating their own platform for virtual currencies only to be used on Amazon, but not bitcoin specifically.  I am hoping that I am wrong...
