I'd like to see a youtube tip integration with or like changetip for bitcoin as much as amazon. Works so much better to micro tip people versus thumbs up, perhaps youtube could make a thumbs up to = a tip option.

Do you mean something like changetip Tongue

https://www.changetip.com/how-to-send-tips/ lists youtube as a supported site.

No i know changetip has youtube capability but without the authenticity of coming from the host site most people are dubious about clicking the tip link. Maybe this will change as changetip gets more recognized but even bitcoin itself is still viewed by a certain % of main streamers who know about it as a little dodgy.

The reason retailers like Bitcoin is because they can avoid fraud. Bitcoin has an advantage vs credit card in that there cannot be a chargeback.

Merchants benefit quite a bit from this and will prefer to receive funds in Bitcoin which they dump immediately to FIAT anyways. We can expect various other retailers to start accepting Bitcoin.

I doubt it. Many retailers accept Bitcoin right now and the value is still dropping.

IF anything it will cause BTC to crash because everybody will sell BTC to buy goods on AMAZON

Please, there are two reasons to own Bitcoin

1 To spend

2 To invest in looking for growth.

So if every merchant accpeted Bitcoin tomorrow it would have zero affect on 'investment' bitcoin.

why would anyone convert their FIAT into BTC to spend... They wouldnt at present.

So only people receiving BTC will spend it.. This is exponential but a slow process HOWEVER its not all doom and gloom because it doesnt take much activity for the price to rise...

When this hapens the "Investors" dump their FIAT in looking for High growth and it is THIS action which will suddenly elevate the price...

Most on here are either investors or short term traders.. Very few are converting their FIAT into BTC and then spending it!!!

A lot of people still are uncomfortable using their credit cards for online shopping as they should be!!!! Bitcoin provides the secure transaction that online retail has needed for years.

Dude believe me when I say Microsoft has been one of our biggest aliest yet. Ive noticed a lot of friends noticing bitcoin today. Cant wait when amazon jumps in.

The strangest things happen with the Bitcoin market. The phenomenon is that with adoption does not come increases in price and if there is an increase in price it is often shortlived.

Alibaba, Amazon, ebay, Apple, etc would be big.

Yea....... A big drop! LMFAO! Imagine when your beloved bitcoin drops down in price all year... Oh wait, that's already happening!

What's your point? The immediate price isn't as important in these situation. The effect of adoption in the long run my major corporations will increase the demand and use for a limited supply object. I hope they pay you well to keep spreading sh1t all over this forum. Someone who uses so much energy to talk down Bitcoin either has absolutely no life (I'm sorry if you don't), or deep down inside believe in Bitcoin, but just want to take advantage of a market correction from a spike in price and try to get people to keep selling, so you can short. You will get burned one day.

I already spotted fatherbob was a trollchop alt and ignored him yesterday.

I suppose trollchop knows his account is near a ban threshold!

Alt accounts are approved by this forum, it's the Bitcoin way. Everyone who's anyone here has one.
You must have purchased your senior account--you sound new.

I'm not trying to evaluate, nor do I care about, your mad English skillz. You simply don't know what an analogy is. Your typings left me with no other plausible alternative.

And don't start again with "new." It was new 5 years ago, it's old now. Bitcoin is too slow for real-time transactions, ruinously expensive (currently way over 10% of its market cap) to maintain, with disastrously conceived block reward scheme, lacking the anonymity essential to its primary demographic, and, after 5 years of development, just starting to kludge its way into becoming crypto 2.0 with sidechains.

@smoothie: The technology can't be called "new" after 5 years. Sure, it is currently used & therefore "current."
I used the word "old" in the sense of "not new" rather than "obsolete" or "defunct"--those come later.

It's alright. NotLambchop talks of technology being out of date once it's over five years old, just after ranting about a motor vehicle produced in 1975.

I'm guessing that the vehicle in question failed because it was about 70 years out of date.

P.S: This is the 21st century. Technology that was new five years ago is called old technology.

Bitcoin is current technology...not was technology.

It started 5 years ago. Doesn't mean it is old especially if it is refined and updated regularly by developers.

I am sure they are aware that there are lots of people looking to buy amazon items with bitcoins. So in a way, it is better for them to actually start accepting.
I still wonder, what stops them from doing so.

The amount of bitcoin fans who are pestering Amazon is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of people who either a) aren't even aware of bitcoin yet or b) are aware of bitcoin, don't care about it, or are like me and use bitcoin but are happy to buy from Amazon with my credit card.

But a drop is also a lot. The number of people who would be willing to order things, once they start accepting bitcoins is a lot.
Its true that it might be hard to estimate but there is no harm for them to actually experiment it.
