The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

This is a good move by Amazon and with these strategies they will have the monopoly of bitcoin mercantile industry online. Also the price dip is at their advantage so if bitcoin will go up Amazon will earn big time profits and will overwhelm other online stores worldwide. Soon, other companies will follow to increase their sales. Also this will bring a positive impact on the value of bitcoin.

Hopefully, it is not a part of April fools day! Well, it might bring goodness in the cryptocurrency. It is also a good news for bitcoin hodlers because after this week, the price might rise up due to this interesting news to bitcoin.

You should have removed those little words that gave it away as an April Fools prank. April Fockerty,  Andrew Foolery, AF media. I think if you have removed those then this thread would have gained a huge shitposter reponse flood within minutes by bottomfeeders who are waiting to spam the thread into oblivion. Grin

This is good news for the cryptocurrency community as we need all the good news we can get now due to prices being low and people could use hearing some good news at this point.

You still did not get the point. This was April Fool Joke. Even if the OP has mentioned that it is April fool joke, a lot of members will fall for this and comment how this decision will help bitcoins.

We certainly do not want such clueless people to invest in bitcoins. They do not have the time to even verify a major news related o bitcoin, how can we expect them to make sensible decisions related to their bitcoin investments.

Today is April Fool and you have been deceived by the author. I have updated the news very fast and I have never seen an article written about Amazon's bitcoin acceptance.  Cheesy
I advise you to be more careful with the news like this. You should check it carefully before investing in an altcoin.

Another very good example that the Bitcoin "investors" in here are often people who are totally clueless - in this case falling for an obvious Aprils Fools joke.

Bitcoin is mainly driven by poor people with limited understanding hoping to get rich quick - and they will ultimately come to regret this

Damn, this is such a great news for us people who love the crypto currency industry. This means more ways to do businesses or reselling and more options for buying and all that stuff with bitcoins since another big thing has accepted it and considered it as a legitimate way of payment. plus the fact that Amazon is big as hell and has millions if not billions of customers worldwide! I just hope that this isn't just one of those april fools jokes out there. That would be a total let down for us crypto supporters. :/

Jesus Christ, April fools really are pathetic this year. Aren't they supposed to be, like, funny?

Lots of people also seem to think this - https://blog.coinfloor.co.uk/post/172447005766/coinfloor-to-increase-fiat-deposit-and-withdrawal

Is an April fool which really makes me wonder the collective sense of humour is these days. Whoever finds it funny is a freak. If someone put it up thinking their customers would be amused they're an even bigger freak.

If it is not an April fools joke then according to me it is a very good move taken by Amazon. It was pretty hectic to pay through through Purse.io every time if you want to buy something from Amazon or any other similar online shopping website. And if it is really implemented throughout the globe it would be great for many crypto users, then I wouldn't have to convert the BTC into my local currency before buying something from Amazon.

Sub 90 IQ detected. Obviously this is a joke, Amazon are quite clearly anti-crypto and don't need to take any unnecessary risks as their current business model is working out very well for them already. It is an April fools joke.

Wow thats a good news for all the customers who shop online that using bitcoin as mode of payment buying their items its a big step to pump again the price of bitcoin before the end of the year. Good choice for Amazon that they adopt bitcoin.
