Alternatively there's scope for the major corporations by market capitalization to follow by example

Although Amazon may have commissioned a research panel to investigate the potential integration of Ƀ on thier POS platform(s), which personally I doubt and believe not truly representative owing to customers lack of demand.

Do we have any Amazon Power Sellers/Traders here?, Would like to hear from you. I guess Amazon would have reached out to some high volume traders and asked them whether they would like to accept Ƀ.

This is not a plug, however I do have respect for the developer Tom Tang of Corkett, he has just recently launched and aims to compete against Ebay, Craigslist, Gumtree, etc.

One the biggest players by market capitalization, Walmart group recently filed suit against Visa over their processing fees. It's sad but only once major corporations can viably increase profits & efficiency, as demonstrated by the likes of Corkett and other Ƀ enterprises, will they properly invest in considering using Ƀ.

Think you meant to quote me rather than yourself?
No problem nonetheless.

Only a matter off time

Walmart group partners with Ria Money Transfer to implement it's own centralized fiat processor.

Do you think this is why they removed the GYFT support recently?

They still have impressive proportion of international retail market - would have sent Ƀ prices trending North, if they had gone the other way  

I believe it could be use bit coin in Amazon or other sites one day, just wait

@ btc1, billysweird - Nice one gents, I think you are both right  

If Amazon's analysts can prove a significantly greater net via implementing BTC, then it will be financially justified.

For example:

As a retailer, is it cheaper for me (and yields better profit margin) to integrate Coinbase +  a PCI DSS service provider to my business? Or would this end up costing me more, as I don't think there is a free PCI DSS/payment processing service out there?

This is a strange one, but what if Amazon went 100% BTC for consumers/merchants in order to negate 3rd party payment processor service fees (Visa/Mastercard/Diners/Unionpay), would they lose a ton of business or would they actually end up increasing their market share?

They never said "we'll NEVER accept bitcoins".
But they clearly need time.

I always find is weird that companies who want to be "trending" refuse to be part of the latest trends.

Because the trend is not as big as you think. It will take time to grow to a phase where places like Amazon will accept BTC.

Which is a good thing because this means we have plenty of room to grow, and keep growing exponentially until pretty much everyone uses bitcoin.

Also, I never bought anything at amazon, not because I don't like what they have to offer, but because you can only pay them won't credit cards, and I don't have one and I don't plan on getting one either.
