Bitcoin Forum

Hi, I just saw this picture pass by on Twitter. Can anyone confirm whether Amazon is now accepting Bitcoins?

Edit: I just heard that it's invite only still.

Did you check www.amazon.com for 'Bitcoin'.

Guess what I just did.....  :o

Well, the short answer is that they've finally seen the competitive light - and are trying to do an end run around Google Bucks and Facebook Funnymoney and all the other centralized bullshit currencies that are trying to capture market share and distract from bitcoin.

The long answer is no, I don't buy it for a minute.

Fake. And it's rather easy to check...

ADDED:
Mastercard as payment method? Since when did they accept BTC as currency? ;D
Rather poor and quick work.

Photoshop, or maybe GIMP (they do accept bitcoin donations, btw).

Link us the twit, OP.  With a timestamp at least ten minutes before your post...  ::)

Yes.  The font by the radio buttons seems a bit light.

That is why they announced Amazon coins a few days ago....  Amazon is part of the establishment, remember.

Hopefully bitcoinstore.com will do another half million in April/May and then the dominoes start to fall. Maybe once Tiger Direct or another electronics retailer sees the light it will force Amazon's hand.

You can buy things on Amazon with bitcoins through bitspend.net

I seriously do not have any affiliation with that site but hardly anyone knows about them and they provide the groundbreaking service of allowing you to buy anything on the Internet with Bitcoin.

This trumps all of the huge announced websites accepting bitcoin in my eyes.

They likely saved the webpage and edited BTC in.  Or edited it on the spot.

I think you meant to post this 4/1/2013 :) Doesn't look like the market jumped up there for ya...

Invite-only, sure...
