Amazon soon to accept Bitcoin/Litecoin!

in #news7 years ago

At first, I was sure this was fake news, but many people have jumped on and started to ask Amazon support about this. It looks like it really is coming! Earlier this week we found out Burger King Russia was going to add Bitcoin support, and now Amazon? It's a great time for cryptocurrency acceptance around the world.

This is a chat from /u/ChippaCrypt from the LTC reddit.

Another successful chat from /u/FiveStarFacial55

My personal chat with Amazon UK ended up with a possibly confused support agent, it sounded promising but nevertheless they took my feedback.

I recommend everyone reading this post to contact Amazon, and ask them about this. Post your response in the comments so everyone can see!

The more people who ask them, the more likely it will be added. There are already a few promising reports, but the more they hear our feedback, then every support agent will be talking about it at their meetings :)

There have been only a few people to publish their responses, so if you'd like to help to verify my story, please do contact Amazon and post a screenshot in the comment.

I honestly think it is sad how the zombies on here just write a comment to try and get upvoted by just reading the headline! You guys need to start reading articles to actually know what it is about. He is saying if enough people put in a request with amazon this might happen!

True...but you have to give credit to @someguy123 for picking a great title

lmao, no one READS the articles, people just fly down to the bottom and comment, ive seen people post comments 12 seconds after something was posted lol

LMAO! And yet @paulyaces76 upvoted every self comment on here. @moderninvestor

It's a shame. This is all over the place. People read a headline, comment, share, etc. and never read it.

There was something done by NPR a bit ago that showcased this. Check it out here:

That's why we need Zappl. Most of the people are coming from Facebook and Twitter. We are used to one-liners status and images.

I will say people only having the attention span for only one-liners and images is going to kill good, thoughtful and focused work. :)

Hi @DanMurphy & @FreedomNation... Please kindly consider the comments I made earlier...

Not to go against your opinions but have You heard of https://purse.io ? ?

Check it out... it's been around for about 2 years & allows people to purchase quite of few products on Amazon at a Discount...Using BitCoin !!

So perhaps Amazon is actually considering going forward with "directly" accepting Bitcoin. It certainly seems plausible.

Thank You Dan & FreedomNation... Have a Good Weekend !!

I agree. Zombies are sad. Very good comment! ; )

Do they actually get any upvotes doing that lol

supply and demand....such a new wave theory.

WOWW that would be sooo BULLISH for the whole crypto indusrty if AMAZON allows Bitcoin....Lets all jump on this rocket ship!!!!!

^^^UP! UP! AND AWAY!!^^^

People try to make money by creating rumors.

I was looking forward to this and have mentioned it in some of my comments. This will send both of these coins to the moon. 5k bitcoin by the end of the year is 100%. Amazon has tens of millions of users. Blockchain going mainstream. Hope we can see some news for our beloved Steem currency soon. :)

They said the amazon rep didn't know what they were talking about!

@PaulyAces76... With all due respect, please kindly read my comment a little bit further down... here's what I wrote:

It's exciting to see this!

It's cool that small independent operators start accepting BTC and alt coins... but the big step towards more "mass market" adoption of cryptos will come when millions of people start seeing the "Bitcoin accepted" on their checkout pages.

I'll certainly add my voice, and can even do so (as an amazon marketplace seller) with the additional incentive that "Our customers are asking for this, so you're potentially losing sales not having it as a payment method." I'd encourage any other amazon sellers to do the same!

@SomeGuy123... WoW... This really IS Great News !!
