the biggest problems is first the people who are not that willing to spend their bitcoins and any big business like Amazon that is already working fine without any issues and is making tons of money don't see the "need" to go through all the trouble of adding a new payment method for a highly volatile currency that sometimes also has a high fee.
and second is that they don't feel the competitive pressure yet. for example if something like Open Bazaar grew big enough to threaten their business by taking a big portion of their customers and merchants then they will start panicking and thinking about competing.

the main reason is about applicable regulations. and both visa, paypal, and others, they certainly won't let this work. if bitcoin can be used, they will lose huge profits. so even when all countries have accepted and legalized bitcoin, not necessarily e-commerce like big like amazon, ebay will use it.
I agree if the main problem of Not Amazon has been adopted by Bitcoin as their payment option is regulation, but if it is associated with other vitual money payments such as paypal or payoneer it is the competition they have to face in the financial industry. Moreover Bitcoin still requires third parties to withdraw their funds into traditional money as a daily necessity.

Amazon is the largest e-commerce company in the world. All their products are built on developing and enhanced technology. Since its inception, Amazon has always fostered a positive attitude towards new trends and the latest technological advances, this is because they are part of the internet revolution, a revolution that can only be won by being optimistic about technology.

So, why hasn't Amazon adopted Bitcoin?

Let's see this way, Bitcoin praised the Amazon package very well. Amazon has an international reach and allows people to buy products from sellers in countries from all over the world.

Part of the Amazon revolution is the shrinking of the earth, which means people can buy products internationally at lower prices and send them in a short time.

As is well known, Amazon only supports payments through FIAT currencies and traditional banks, this can slow down the payment process and means that merchants are charged. But using Bitcoin will erase, both of these problems.

In addition, the use of Bitcoin will also allow Bitcoin investors to access the giant platform wherever they are.

Problems that hinder the adoption of Bitcoin

The problem here is because of the lack of regulation around Bitcoin, not because Amazon is afraid of Bitcoin or because they are afraid of a lack of regulation, but this seems to be an Amazon case that is too big to adopt a product that can eventually fail.

If a company the size of Amazon continues to adopt Bitcoin, it will cause a massive surge in asset popularity, which can ultimately put Amazon or Bitcoin at risk. I think the message here is that Amazon is not afraid of Bitcoin, they just haven't accepted Bitcoin and are still in advanced studies.

Will Amazon adopt Bitcoin?

We know that Amazon, among other giants like Facebook, is exploring blockchain technology. When crypto is becoming more mainstream and when Bitcoin becomes more mature we can begin to hope that companies like Amazon will start accepting Bitcoin payments, maybe now, adoption is not safe enough for e-commerce giants, and this is to protect their customers.
