CNBC's April Fockerty has just broke the news that the e-commerce giant, Amazon will be accepting bitcoin as a direct payment option on their platform, as of today. Just browse to the site and find the Bitcoin logo.
Amazons Executive Sales Representative, Andrew Foolery was quoted, "We have seen a increase of our smaller competitors accepting Bitcoin as a payment method and we do not want to be left behind. As a market leader in e-commerce, we are obligated to adapt to the needs of our customers and they have send us a strong indication that they need Bitcoin as a payment option on our platform."
*This is a big step towards mainstream adoption and companies like Amazon will take us to the Moon.
