And sure enough you can buy Amazon coins right on amazon. anyone else heard of this?

Yes I heard that Amazon plans to make its own coin, and if it is truth than I think it will be successful.

"On October 31st Amazon reportedly bought amazonethereum.com, amazoncryptocurrency.com, and amazoncryptocurrencies.com. This move might be simply covering their bases. Or it might be insight into future endeavours."

O.O

"OK, calm down. There are no public plans for Amazon to launch its own crypto-currency, but it’s not such a far-fetched idea. Ever heard of Disney Dollars? If there’s enough public support we could be seeing large companies like Amazon dipping their toes into the digital currency market, and that could affect how we pay them and our customers pay us."

It looks like there is a lot of relationship between a crypto domain that has bought from amazon and the amazon plan.
But remember if the forbes news based on the survey company. If that will become a real thing and then amazon will try to give worldwide announcement regarding it. But that apparently provided the easiest way to use Amazon service.

Looks interesting thing for me to watch it.

With their strategy of work and the voluminous turnover of the money created by Amazon is simply obliged to blow up the entire market.

If this is true it will give a big boost in cryptocurrency market. We could see another all time high in coinmarketcap and cryptocurrency will easily adopted by masses. I'm sure it will be a success if it happens.

This would be a killer app for cryptocurrencies. If Amazon decides to make payment with crypto possible, I'm certain this will help the mass adoption.

I think it's coins for feedback and same stuff. It's not a cryptocurrency, just a points...

 $1 100 amazon coins .Amazon Coins are a digital currency that you can use to buy games and apps from Amazon. Like an iTunes gift card or Microsoft Points, Amazon Coins are purchased with real currency for use within the Amazon Appstore in purchasing apps and games, such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic or Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. You can also use the coins to make in-app purchases.

fake for sure :P

Yeah I heard about it around 2-3 months ago , I think there is no need for such shopping coin since we can use PayPal, MasterCards & visa cards ...
Why would they use this coin exclusively to buy digital products ?? I think it's non-sense cryptocurrency

There are already coins from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.de/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=amazon+coins&tag=hyddemsn-21&index=aps&hvadid=11953135004&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_8nwodlwisp_e (https://www.amazon.de/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=amazon+coins&tag=hyddemsn-21&index=aps&hvadid=11953135004&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_8nwodlwisp_e)

If you buy them you get:

- 20% off of apps, games, and in-app-stuff
- 100 coins are equal to 1 Euro
- bought coins never expire
- use them on kindle fire, Android devices or Amazon.com

and you get a discount on coins, if you buy in bulk.

But these coins are no crypto coins of course!
