ALIBABA TO ACCEPT BITCOIN BEFORE AMAZON & OTHERS

[Emitdama]

Oh great a random public poll based on nothing. FIX YOUR CLICK BAIT TITLE.

Did you know that 82% of Americans hate trump?! I interviewed 100 people and 82 of them hated him so this is 100% accurate. So stupid.

If it's about public poll there is no one who loves Donald Trump there are less no of people who loves them. No ask why just because they are rich. They don't care about people.They don't care about prices.They don't care how to public conversation with people.So i will committed that no one will vote him in next election he already lost his respect what he had.

Well...we should really be hoping that soon these big online companies would soon accept and incorporate Bitcoin into their  payment mechanism. I am sure that they have been looking into it already and can just be waiting for the right timing when they can finally accept digital currencies.

It can then be a big boost for cryptocurrency when we can hear that Alibaba, Amazon, Twitter and Facebook would be opening their doors for Bitcoin. That time is coming soon...that I am sure as these companies are actually innovators and early adopters on their own rights.

One thing that maybe hold them back is the volatility of Bitcoin but once they can find a mechanism to solved this problem then it would be a breeze from there on. It would then be officially a Bitcoin world.

I can tell you that the day Bitcoin is accepted on Alibaba that will be big, both for price and my business !

Alibaba should be the next global giant to accept Bitcoin according to 4,500 participants in a survey this week.

52 percent of respondents to the survey by Digital Currency Group creator Barry Silbert believe the Chinese marketplace is next in line to embrace the virtual currency.

Other options included Amazon (31 percent) and Google (12 percent), while only five percent of those answering on Twitter believed Facebook would be the first of the group to get serious about Bitcoin. According to Barry Silbert

China has one of the highest number of bitcoin users and Alibaba is a Chinese e-commerce company which is also world's largest retailer and has been generating more gross merchandise volume than Amazon and eBay combined. One more interesting fact, Alipay, an online payment platform with 400 million users and controls half of China's online payment market.

I do not know on what reasoning 52% of users voted for Alibaba, but if you think logically Alibaba already has an online payment system, yeah bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, but I guess it would be more like bitcoin vs Alipay.

Alipay is more of an escrow system, safe for the buyer, payment is released only after the delivered product is satisfactory. Here it does have an advantage over bitcoin. Yeah many bitcoin related products are being sold on Alibaba including bitcoin vending machines so adding bitcoin as an option would be good.

This I would love to see it happen!

Yes, so bitcoins will be more popular than right now because it can be used for payment method on Alibaba
after it happens the other online shop like Amazon, eBay and other will accept bitcoins too,
that is mean user's bitcoins will be growing up, so do with bitcoin's price will be expensive too
for long time investing today is nice to buy bitcoins.

It's excessively extraordinary, If Alibaba begin acknowledge bitcoin like an installment technique, And i think, they can make a stunning benefit on the off chance that they begin tolerating bitcoin
since as we probably am aware bitcoin cost increment a considerable measure throughout the years. So they can make an immense benefit following couple of years.
At any rate It's simple for us to purchase products from commercial centers locales utilizing our bitcoin, so It's astounding thing

The Chinese market is really taking over the world. If Alibaba does this genuinely before Amazon, then they will really change the game of online shopping

[Betwrong]

Damn clickbait title, i thought alibaba think to accept bitcoin or will accept bitcoin soon, but it's just opinion from 4.500 participants. And, as far as i know, alibaba and the others don't have plans to accept bitcoin, bitcoiner only can buy their gift card with bitcoin at this moment.
But, i think Amazon should be the next company to accept bitcoin.

That's what I thought too at first. But then I remembered that there is such thing as Exit poll, when only a small percentage of the voters is  asked and still it reflects the whole picture to some extent. So, I wouldn't be surprised if Alibaba really starts accepting Bitcoin before other so called "global giants".

[SimmonenY]

It's a very misleading title. But it could totally be true but in that case the price will be unreachable and the fees will be too high to buy something not so expensive.

Wow, really… Never mind. It is just another of these surveys. Amazon and eBay have committed themselves to similar surveys, with similar results and similar final decisions. Although the surveys are usually in the favour of Bitcoin, these sites have never accepted Bitcoin as payment.

If, and that is a big IF, Alibaba does accept Bitcoin it will be great. The Chinese marketplace is used by millions worldwide and the introduction of a new means of payment would definitely spark interest. This would hopefully provide an incentive for other large vendors and merchants to accept Bitcoin. But this is all very unlikely as they are considering the results of a single survey. It would be great to see them accept Bitcoin, but don’t get your hopes up too high.

[Adbitco]

These are just people's opinion in a poll / survey which the OP chose to post but the fact is Chinese government have long been looking for the ways which can end US dollar dominance all over the world so it would be no surprise if all the big Chinese corporations / companies start accepting bitcoin before their counterparts in other parts of the world.

Though i'd welcome the news of these major companies accepting bitcoins, this is just a poll and doesn't really mean anything, the company might decide against accepting bitcoins all together. I believe Overstock are already accepting bitcoins

I really hope so. Amazon is killing librarians and does not even accept something as mainstream as PayPal. It is finally time for them to either adapt or die !

[Novun]

Ahh, another click bait. All major retailers will accept bitcoin. Just be patient. They won't want to lose out in the race, This will force them to adopt bitcoin.
Capitalism itself will make bitcoin viable. Which is weird because you would expect fiat currency to win.
The best weapon of the rich will make them obsolete.

[orpel]

I don't think few thousand people know anything we don't know.
This sounds like huge speculations.

[Kprawn]

Most of the companies you mentioned will make use of some kind of Payment processor and these centralized services will add fees to their

services and in the end, you as the consumer will have to pay more to cover these added fees. It would have been great if they accepted Bitcoin

directly, but that will not happen. { governments will not allow that } If Alibaba started to accept Bitcoin, it will be bigger than when Overstock

decided to accept Bitcoin. 

[niisarearning]

It's just speculation or just opinion . But google recently invested huge amount in blockchain.info may google will make and accept payment through bitcoin . Think about the day you receive your absence earnings in blockchain wallet.

[cellard]

I'm sure Alibaba would love to add bitcoin if it had bigger blocks and people would use it.

More braindead posts by 25bigblocktard. No amount of blocksize increase would allow for mainstream usage at the level Amazon would need. We need lightning network to be able to cater for the fast, cheap and huge amount of transactions we would need. It's clear that we want that but not at the expense of huge blocks that would turn bitcoin into a centralized mess.

[cengsuwuei]

when alibaba accepted use bitcoin in payment
i think is very big news if alibaba accepted bitcoin bitcoin price can incraese very high

[Numbers]

Why does Amazon need Bitcoin when it can and most likely will offer its own "coin" or digital currency?

It would instantly have millions of people adopting it, massive media coverage and instant credibility.
 Win/Win for Bezos and Co.
