No proof that its due to Bitcoin it could be just because people can't afford to purchase as much now and also tat other competitors are getting more business stop speculating and take a look at the facts.

First I thought: "Good news everyone" but after I read the article I realized, it's like in Futurama. No good news for Bitcoins in here.
Please don't spread misinformation.

Yup, this headline is pure bs. It's like the opposite of FUD. Is there a word for that? Regardless I don't think amazon is at the point where it's losing money by not accepting bitcoin, nor do I think many people are buying coins just to spend them to support crypto.

Same. It's just click bait. I guess the op just likes trolling as he knows everyone here is waiting for Amazon to announce theyre going to accept btc. |

The loses are related to technology, but not to bitcoin. Its their IT sector doing bad things: Amazon remains one of the most highly valued companies in the U.S., yet the business is losing some of its sheen as profits are dragged down by investments that Bezos, the co-founder and chief executive officer, is making in cloud computing, warehouses and gadgets such as the new Fire smartphone. While shareholders have been patient, they’re increasingly seeking signs that the long-term strategy will work.
I think people want Amazon accept bitcoin in their online store, not to buy IT services. |

Amazon's "loss" is due to future investments in their company.
This thread is the equivalent of saying you bought a shit ton of solar panels for your home and had a huge loss this year due to construction costs.

Yeah, either that, or OP actualy believes that Amazon loses are directly connected to bitcoin, which i doubt. I believe that bitcoin merchants will start to loose interest in bitcoin with time, and that that expansion wil fail, simply because there are limited customers that will actualy spend bitcoins there. All this merchants accepting bitcoin will push the price to moon is nonsense. |

Amazon doesn't care about 'millions'. If adding a Bitcoin payment option is only going to puzzle the customers (if there's only the slightest chance it will - in their perception) they will just drop the idea.

I don't think they 'loss' in the literal sense of the word. It is just just somewhat missed opportunity. And judging by their recent actions they will adopt BTC maybe even in this year.

When amazon will start accepting BTC the price will go down! Every time there is a good news about BTC people sell and the price goes down It's not that good news causes the market price of Bitcoin to go down, just that it is keeping it afloat, or simply having little to no effect. New money (myself included) came to Bitcoin towards the back-end of 2013 having been absorbed by the bubble. The price rocketed due to new money and interest as an investment opportunity. That time will likely come again, when or how far it will go is anybody's guess. Big news would play a part, but I feel that it would have to be significant. |

But good news attract the interest of the media. And if the media starts writing about Bitcoin in a large manner, a lot of new people will start investing in it. Also many people are still too careful and have their doubts. When large companies like Dish, Dell, or maybe Amazon start accepting it, they gain trust in it. |

While it's true that there is interest and credibility gained by seeing the likes of Dell accepting Bitcoin, it doesn't address the other concerns that Bitcoin's market price has essentially halved from its peak and there are always stories of people losing their coins due to somebody compromising their wallet.
Sure, we've seen Bitcoin's price rise through the roof before, come down and then rise back up again, but now the stakes are even higher.
It would be great to see more companies like Dell integrating Bitcoin in some commercial capacity. It's likely just a matter of time.

Yeah, but what you're saying holds true for every prior bubble We've seen this about 5 times now. And people keep on saying 'woah, we've seen the top, now it'll go down', or 'this price isn't sustainable' And suddenly, whoops... 10-fold increase. |

The article has nothing to do with bitcoin and the conclusion of the thread starter is totally stupid.
The loss of Amazon widens because the company's CEO follows a maximize sales first - earn money later strategy. That can be very dangerous if you loose the confidence of your creditors. The market cap of Amazon is extremely high compared to earnings. If investors continue to question the ability of the business to earn money in future, stock price will likely collapse.

Actually for over a decade BOZO, I mean Bezos has been telling investors look we need infrastructure, we must ACQUIRE TECHNOLOGY I'm building the FIELD OF DREAMS believe me if I BUILD IT THEY WILL COME
So children investors entertained by the clown bozo keep buying into bozo's ponzi scam
GIVE ME MORE MONEY TO ACQUIRE TECHNOLOGY
I KNOW IN THE END THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE COMPANY
haha
bezo is a clown, I remember trying to explain ebooks to amazon long time ago, OH WE DO NOT SELL EBOOKS
ok, they're coming bozo
oh bezos caught on kindle
we have our 50 buck ebooks on Amazon with a blurb due to amazon ripping us off 65% in commissions since our ebooks are worth more than the 9.99 the nutter bezos wants to limit all epublishers to, we must price our book at 150 bozo dollars but if you look around the net you will see it really sells for 50 bucks
so people find our books on amazon and BUY ON OUR NETWORK

You are right this is a very risky strategy and at this point probably a bad one. Amazon is at a point now where it is not going to be able to grow very much from where it is now so it should start to try to maximize profits. |
