That is awesome. Hope that move will force other big retailers to accept Bitcoin. I know they will most possibly dump coins asap after they make trade but in the long run it is great thing and will speed up mass addoption.

More pushing the Big Myth in the Echo Chamber.

Bitcoin has already been massively adopted by retailers....
Retailers would accept Cambodian riel if it would *** make the sale ***...
Retailers don't save money with BTC and don't care about paying 2% in fees... only making the sale matters.

"Mainstream adoption" has nothing to do with "retailers"... Warren Buffet understands basic shit like this.

The problem is at the other end, consumers...
Adults with good credit see no advantage to using BTC, it's a big headache...
Credit cards and Paypal are waaaaaaaaay more convenient and safer than Bitcoin.

There is a lot of money to be made in blockchain tech...
But it's not by buying Bitcoin like any retard... that train left the station a year ago.

Excellent news. I do wonder how much if any they plan to retain versus unloading. Overstock kind of led the charge on this and I believe they retain a certain percentage. I e-mailed Amazon CS and told them I do wish to renew my Prime membership but I will only pay in bitcoin.
