black friday is the next day after thanksgiving day, everyone think that the price will increase because for whatever reason people should buy bitcoin first for their purchase

how naive, average joe don't give a damn about bitcoin, this will not change much

If you read the ad carefully, it's only 10% off for US customers. How about rest of the world? So much for Bitcoin Black Friday.  Embarrassed

It's probably because Thursday is the day Americans celebrate Thanksgiving and not the rest of the world. Thus black friday sales only apply to them I guess, which sucks for the rest of us. So much for wanting to spend my bitcoins this holiday season.

I am a little disappointed. After reading the title of this thread I thought that Amazon introduced Bitcoin as one of their payment method, which, even for a day it would be extremaly huge deal.
Instead it is Purse.io deal. and it is not that different from their usual offers.

We can't make this stuff up.
If you really read the ad carefully, you would have noticed this:
Quote
Not in the US?  Don’t worry, you can still use Name Your Discount to save 20-30% off Amazon, just by copying and pasting your wish list.  
(EU people can at least use Amazon.co.uk)

I wouldn't take the 10% anyway, I would just wait 2 days for a 20% discount to fill and they ALWAYS do.

Remember,
It's about sharing

BTC = Black Swan.
BTC = Antifragile - "Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Robust is not the opposite of fragile.

This was exactly my feeling about this.. But anyway, a 10% reduction is still quite nice to have if you live in the US.

Too bad it doesn't work for people in Europe.. Would've been nice, although we don't really know black friday Wink

You do realize that the actual Bitcoin Black Friday is not even related to Amazon? There are a lot of merchants lining up and we can start buying things up soon. Here's the actual website.

Well in my country we don't celebrate Thanksgiving so I am sad about that the Black Friday deal of course.

Oh well if it say only for US customers than is no point to purchase something then.

I didn't realize that Purse.io could be used in Europe too. Just made my account to check it out. 20% discounts get filled? That sounds great!

Would much prefer Amazon to accept Bitcoin payments directly, then your holdings would likely net you more than a 10% saving Wink

That's the ultimate dream for mainstream adoption, Amazon is the biggest online marketplace in the world. If they start accepting bitcoin we're in Smiley

I am afraid that the bitcoin supply is not much enough and block size is not enough if amazon start using bitcoin as payment method because of millions of users at the same time ordering. About purse seems good if people live in u.s

It would be convenient for those who already hold but nothing more. I think the empirical evidence points towards merchant acceptance being a bit of a non event. There's still no reason why anyone would choose BTC over their regular cards.
