Amazon May Accept Bitcoin By October. Do you believe?

[sagarnyc]

Well, other websites are doing this, for example, overstock.com and look at the stock growth for it. Amazon may accept Bitcoin but by October I don't think so maybe we will have to wait longer.

I believe it.

Read that -> https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/debunked-rumor-amazon-will-accept-bitcoin-fake-news/

People in this market are too easy of believe and thus take everything for granted without doing any logical thinking or research themselves. If Amazon was even considering to accept Bitcoin as payment option, it would be them to announce their interest in doing so, or that they are investigating the possibilities of adding a Bitcoin payment option to their platform.

Beside Bitcoin is very secure that why there are a lot of people that prefer pay in bitcoin to cash.

Really? Source? I have been involved in the Bitcoin ecosystem for quite a while now, and I have yet to see a fair number of people prefer to use Bitcoin instead of fiat, let alone 'a lot people' as you are pointing out.

But I afraid that someone will take avantage of Bitcoin to do some bad thing such as money laundering

Why would you even care about that? Fiat too is used for money laundering, drug sales, weapon sales, etc -> do you hear anyone about that? Nope. In the same way, people shouldn't mind it with Bitcoin. Whether it's a car, a piece of art, Gold, Bitcoin, etc, everything with value can be used for whatever shady purposes - never blame the tool.

If that happens, we are not going to see any more threads containing "is bitcoin dead or going to die?"

[Shreek]

yes, this surprises me ,, and i believe amazon will accept bitcoin ,, because i said that this bitcoin is ours joint ,, everyone every individual ,, all have the right to receive bitcoin and make it as a legitimate transaction tool ,,

It's probably just another rumor, no official announcement has been made by the company itself. Furthermore, on a recent interview of Jeff Bezos, he mentioned that cryptocurrencies are not part of his future plans for the company.

I don't think it would be profitable for us to use Bitcoin for purchases on Amazon, I solely see it as an investment opportunity. However, it would surely have a positive impact on its price, if it ever happens.

Yes true, bitcoin users are increasing and soon beating paypal, if amazon not want to use bitcoin then one day will be abandoned user. I'm sure amazon is planning to use bitcoin.

[mudasarali43]

There are lot of good names already become a part of bitcoin and they enjoy with buyers transaction because bitcoin price is going up and up,
there is no issue of belief of amazon bitcoin acceptance.

[Hamilcar]

There are news about accepting bitcoin as a payment at Amazon. Here is the link to cointelegraph article. If this would be true we will get huge pump of the whole cryptocurrency market at October/November. What do you think about it? Just one more rumor?

If these news are true it will be new era for bitcoin. Many big stores will follow amazon and bitcoin price will be to the moon.
Unfortunately i don't it can be true in near future.

confirmation bias is strong in this forum.

no, you'll always see those threads. either by fudsters who keep at their attempts to drive the price down for their own gains, or by those who are actually clueless and panic every time the price of bitcoin drops a few dollars. it's a never ending cycle; you'll get used to it after a while. that aside, i dont see how amazon starting to accept bitcoin is that big of a leap, newegg started accepting bitcoin a long time ago, nothing changed. i dont see anything significant happening off of this either, were it to happen.

like i said above, i dont see how just amazon starting to accept bitcoin would launch it towards becoming mainstream. sure, its a big step, and a sizeable landmark towards it becoming mainstream, but it's not as if amazon is the defining factor.

[shursight]

If this is real, then the price can go up by a lot of money, everybody would want to get bitcoins in order to purchase stuff on amazon, or maybe those who needs to use exchanges to withdraw their bitcoin's earnings to banks accounts or to debit cards would be able to purchase more easy. But obviously this is probably a fake new, but it would be amazing if this happens for real, because that will mean that bitcoin is being very succesfull.

[Adbitco]

I think it is just a rumor that are spreading around by some bitcoin users, amazon top executive did not even made any official announcement about accepting bitcoins as a payment method on their platform yet. But if it truly happens in the future, it would be good for the values of bitcoin, as it will surely increases the total number of bitcoin users around the world.

Yes the title of the article the link to which is given in op itself say unverified rumor. It's just a rumor and nothing more than that at the moment but yes of course if Amazon ever starts accepting bitcoins that would really be a good decision by the company which would benefit both the bitcoin users and the company itself.

[Valentina N]

I don't find it like a super new because all progressive people will invest in future - bitcoin this is future and block chain - future. All successful people take some risk and invest not in things is relevant right now they invest in new technology and etc. Amazon on right way if this is not a fake news. If someday I will have such  opportunity then I will invest  in all related with  precious metals, mineral, health, real estate etc in direction  of China and Russia.

[Vasilije69]

Hmm, that would be nice. If that happened, that could affect BTC and cause its huge pump. I hope this is true. 

[ZaynDale]

This month Amazon just bought domains thats has Bitcoin on its name like www.Amazonbitcoin.com, AmazonCryopto.com etc. but october has passed but I think they're not yet ready for integrate their online market to accept Bitcoin as payment. Maybe later this year or next but not only Amazon are planning to implement this kind of transaction or payment mode to accept payment from their customers for their products. But would likely a good strategy for every online markets.

What bitcoin users expect to happen soon, if amazon receives bitcoin then this will be big news and the effect is bigger than the legalized bitcoin in china. And I hope next is alibaba.

I think it can be in the near future ). Bitcoin is accepted in some schools and universities all over the world although Bitcoin is not well known and legalized in these countries so I think Amazon and all other online market will going to accept Bitcoin for payment cause the number of customer want to pay via Bitcoin is really huge it'll help their business become better. Beside it'll be a big move and it'll help Bitcoin become more popular all over the world.

Thats a great news! Marketing specialist was speculating that if Amazon starts accepting it. the value of btc could rise up $7,000 by the end of the year. And we're already in 7k today, did Amazon starts accepting already?

Not only Bitcoin but also the top Altcoins as well, like Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Ethereum, NEO, Waves, Ripple and other Altcoins that has already attracted wide numbers of investors worldwide. This time, these altcoins values will also rise because of the demands as payments.
