www.change.org/p/jeff-bezos-doge4amazon-accept-dogecoin-as-a-payment-method It helps to get cryptocurrency get more accepted as a payment method. We even should consider to do a Bitcoin petition for Amazon too. Title: Re: Dogecoin Petition for Amazon. Good idea for Bitcoin too? Post by: Hydrogen on October 07, 2017, 09:23:19 PM I don't know how difficult it would be to open a small internet store which accepts dogecoin & other alts as valid currency for payment. That could be the best way to encourage retailers & others to accept alts. To prove alts can be reliable under real world market conditions.
Petitions may not be as powerful or influential as they used to be. There are many petitions in recent times which amounted to nothing. Title: Re: Dogecoin Petition for Amazon. Good idea for Bitcoin too? Post by: Pearls Before Swine on October 07, 2017, 09:27:27 PM Dogecoin is perfect for spending, since it's pretty stable in price. The problem is
that there aren't all that many people who actually own it, apart from the hardcore community of shibes. If I was starting a business, doge would be the last thing on my mind, and it's likely most business owners don't even know about it. I'm still looking for a metals dealer that takes it. Provident apparently was accepting doge but stopped. Reddit users were using doge as a tipping mechanism, though I think that whole concept got nixed. And yeah, it'd be great if Amazon took doge. I don't think the petition is going to convince them to do it, however. Title: Re: Dogecoin Petition for Amazon. Good idea for Bitcoin too? Post by: kkent on October 07, 2017, 09:32:50 PM I operate a genealogy business, but none of my employees have ever mentioned a customer inquiring if they could pay with anything other than USD. The extent of most people's payment inquiries are related to check or credit. I would love to accept Bitcoin payments, but at the same time, I understand that a large portion of the crypto community thrives on anonymity and is on the younger side, so a genealogy research business isn't going to thrive in the crypto-space. Maybe one day I will have customers who use crypto, but for now I can only dream about it.

There already are petitions for Bitcoin at Amazon, however I think Dogecoin can stand a chance too, given its near discrete nature, very low transaction fees and of course, fast confirmation time.
