I was browsing for news in bitcoins last week when I got intrigue with this title in an news article. In deed, the biggest test for bitcoins in this year for there are a lot of scares with its operations. There has been issues with its legal basis as China and South Korea has halted their exchange operations. The all time low bitcoin value then the sudden increase of its worth... It has been a roller coaster... but thankfully it survive and here we are...
And the best part: This is just the beginning.
recently saw a large number of companies are also working with bitcoin, Amazon has docked.
Steam is accepting Bitcoin for a long time, still don't see many people buying things on there with bitcoin, just because they don't know what it is how it works don't have it etc.
IF Amazon decides to work with bitcoin, this doesn't HAVE TO mean that bitcoin will be all prosperous, it can be just like the steam situation. But of course, it won't be a bad thing

Amazon is orders of magnitudes larger though. A "steam situation" the size of Amazon would be amazing. Also it would further legitimize Bitcoin's role as a payment system, because the question "but what can you buy with it?" could be answered easier than ever.
That being said... I don't see Amazon accepting Bitcoin anytime soon.
