"Twitch has been acquired by Google, leaving many forum users asking the obvious question: If Twitch.tv accepts Bitcoin and Google owns Twitch, doesn't Google accept Bitcoin?"

** the quote is from the article, but it's been pointed out that Twitch.tv chose Amazon over Google

Anything that generates profit and many people's usage is acquired by the companies like google.Twitch is now a product of google company and Google itself is a search engine.

I guess they made the right choice when Twitch's growth exploded. Great pivot.

How do you know? We've had quite a few big merchants accepting bitcoin this year and the price didn't budge. In fact, it went down. I hope you're right about amazon though.

It probably depends on if people actually uses bitcoin on amazon and how amazon treats the bitcoins after them get them.
It's still a pain if you want to buy bitcoins, so Amazon is unlikely to accept bitcoin until that's resolved.

This is how I see it play out.
awareness -> regulation adoption -> banking adoption -> public adoption -> amazon adoption
