Don't see Amazon buying it.

But a big company like JpMorgan should buy it and claimed all the intellectual properties of blockchain. They can later charge a small fee from other companies that use blockchain and free wallet.

Why the hell would they ever buy blockchain.info if they don't even accept bitcoin, they obviously don't have faith in bitcoin and investors are already pissed they're still not turning a profit.
It could be a great strategic move to start endorsing it with top professionalism.

while it is positive for a better progress I agree Smiley

but why do they want to buy it?

Blockchain.info is a free wallet service, and doesn't make Mich profit, there is no reason why Amazon should buy it. I think blockchain.info is open-source, Amazon could use the code and start there own service if they wanted to.

Are you joking here?  Blockchain.info makes a ton of profit...  do you think they bought bitcoin.com and zeroblock for free?

Amazon will never have any profits from blockchain, and I think blockchain is not profit too. So a big NO.

What would be in it for them?
Try accepting Bitcoins as a payment method, first.

I don't know where this rumor started but Blockchain.info is definitely NOT for sale. I made them a rather large offer for their site a few months ago and was roundly refused.

It's a brand, and who says they don't make money? As soon as you login to your wallet there are 5 partners that blockchain gets a payment for referrals.

Just from a intellectual pursuit point of view I don't see the benefit of such a move for anyone. Amazon could integrate bitcoin into their payment processing for a lot less than they would pay for blockchain.info

From a personal point of view I would hate to see that service absorbed into a huge corporation. I have nothing against large businesses but they do tend to lack customer service skills and the nimbleness needed to do business in the bitcoin economy.

If so, how much will it pay for it?

I dont see any reason why Amazon will ever buy blockchain.info. It would be easier for them to hire some coin dev and have one developed for themselves to fit their need.

I don't believe amazon would ever buy blockchain as they don't really have anything to do with Bitcoin.

100% not going to happen, it is not part of the amazon profit plan and owning blockchain.info won't bring them profits.

Kinda like buying Twitch just to upset Google?

Would Satoshi agree on selling the Blockchain.info page? Is Blockchain.info directly linked wiith the Bitcoin devs??
No it isn't. Satoshi doesn't own blockchain.info Smiley

I doubt they will buy blockchain.info since they can easily make their own version that is intergrated into amazon.com.

This is something so far-fetched that it doesn't even deserve a place in the speculations forum. Not even sure what prompted you to think of this.
