[POLL] When will BTC be accepted as payment by AMAZON.COM?

[Kipsy89]

2015 is going to be the year, man! I've got a feeling that a ton of "mainstream" merchants are going to jump on the train this year. Amazon may also be one of them. They are now realizing this is the way to go and probably already are preparing the integration as we speak!!!

[iGotSpots]

I hope never. They will immediately dump it all for fiat

I'm waiting for beginning of the summertime, June 2015. I hope it's going to be faster than this...

Summer already? Man that would really be fast! I can't wait to wake up and read the latest news on Coindesk stating that Amazon now accepts Bitcoin. I'll then look at the price and see it has double in mere minutes

Amazon coins ... well, they have already gift card and it's more easy ... so, FAIL.  

[LiteCoinGuy]

so they already take Paycoin, why not Bitcoin   ? Maybe Homo Josh can help us

I think the bigger question is when will merchants accept BTC as BTC without converting it immediately via the likes of bitpay.
That is what we need to be aiming for.

They have to decided to accept BTC first, otherwise your question will never be relevant. However, I agree that your point is critical for merchant acceptance of BTC to affect the movement positively.

Even if they sell their BTC immediately it helps to further and spread BTC's adoption. It is free advertisement and fosters the peoples' believe in BTC. They see it is a legitimate currency they can use to buy goods at the biggest retailer in the world(!!!). There's no better way of proving Bitcoins legitimacy!

Please vote so we can see what people think going forward.

It isn't a matter of IF...but WHEN it will happen.

Let's pray it's a ways down the road. An Amazon integration in the current lopsided state of integration would cut the price of bitcoin in half.

We need everyone in the community demanding wages in bitcoin to offset the huge relentless auto-dumping network of merchants.

Technically, they don't accept paycoin. It's just a plugin used to purchase with it.

You could do the same thing with a plugin that will also accept bitcoin in the same way.

but wont they use only their coins instead of bitcoins because they can control the price of amazon coin

[LOBSTER]

The option "never" is missing.

But I voted for after 2015. Amazon seems to be careful for new currencys.

[fryarminer]

uhmm never because of this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1001166401

Correct me if im wrong

I would consider that an argument in favor of bitcoin. That if they have their own coin, they would be open to bitcoin as well

[minerpumpkin]

I guess this is still going to take some time. They only like to incorporate more or less mature systems. And a lot of people still have problems of 'getting' Bitcoin to begin with. Why would they want to meddle with another currency? Don't get me wrong, I'd love them accept BTC, but most people just don't get/want the advantages of Bitcoin.
