This is a rumour I think. There is a less chance that amazon will accept bitcoin. But if it does then bitcoin will more valuable than ever. And amazon will also get profit from it. But as amazon runs in different nations they have to convince the governments . And I don't think any Gov will allow that easily.
Amazon is very strong and if it starts accepting bitcoin then for sure bitcoin's price will go up since it will become more popular
no it is not a rumor . this news has already been existed before which states that amazon had already an agreement with bitcoin to become thier official partner for online transactions. infact there were also lots of big companies that is also accepted bitcoin to be a part for their team. anyways this is a good step for bitcoin in order to become more popular and credible to the public, i hope that these event can also bring a good effects to the value of bitcoin in the future.
