Many users had already speculated Amazon to accept Bitcoin in the past. The possibility is there because of the ad they posted. What could the reason be for looking for a blockchain developer. But Amazon to develop their own token is also possible. Amazon is a big business and if they want full control of the finances and survey the users in their database, it's having their own token will probably be a priority.

Apple is one of the largest cash-holding companies in the United States. With over $195.57 billion in its coffers, a $2.5 billion investment in bitcoin would represent a 1.28% allocation.
The biggest holders of Bitcoin microstrategy (105,085 BTC worth $3.3 billion), followed by Tesla (42,902BTC worth $1.3 billion).
If apple buys Bitcoin, it would be the second-biggest public holder. The firm would immediately gain market share and disrupt the industry, This would send even more users to 'Apple Exchange, and bitcoin's widescale acceptance might just become a reality. Apple’s install base is 1.5 billion, and even if we assume only 200 million users would transact, this is 6.66x larger than Square. Therefore, the potential revenue opportunity would be in excess of $40 billion a year (15% incremental top-line opportunity).

I just saw this yesterday before I sleep and I expect for Bitcoin to rise hours after this was published online.
I thought also that I dreamt of Bitcoin surging too just because of one news. Kinda weird but its true .

Well it really happened as Amazon is "looking" to accept Bitcoin payments. Remember the word "looking" meaning they are just eyeing it for now still no intentions of adding it whatsoever. Either way, the market reacted positively with this news and Bitcoin rises near $40,000 (sadly it didn't pass went through that price). On the other hand though, Bezos is like Musk too. A businessman and he might do what Elon Sh*t did months ago. Releasing some good crypto related news and then will release some bad ones in the future. Either way, I don't trust this businessmen at all. Add crypto in their system if they really want to support it. As for me, I'm just happy that I converted some of my Bitcoins and got some good short term profits today.

This would be huge if it were true and set new records for the price of Bitcoin.

It's amazing that you could buy groceries and other things that are not possible now that amazon are selling of course people would use it I would use it.

Oh crap, my perfect week start has just been ruined!
Please tell me the jump is not because of those rumors and the news and the pump are not timed, I never trusted "insiders" and especially when it comes to Amazon, we've been hearing those for the last 2-3 years constantly, enough to make everyone suspicious of clickbait invented articles.

That aside, why is everyone still talking about Bezos? He retired!

 

I would love if amazon opened up to more of the world now,,, at the moment if you are from certain countries you will not get it available to you. Accepting Bitcoin means nothing if they do not open up the restrictions. Same if they have Amazon coin,,, what is the use if you cannot even access the service?

I can't really tell if this news is great if it's true. We all know the personalities behind the big companies such as Amazon. It'sjust a little bit suspiscious to know that suddenly, these giants are interested about cryptocurrency. I can't help but to think that there is some hidden agenda in their plan to enter the world of cryptocurrency. Although I really do hope my gut feeling is wrong.

Nonetheless, if ever this will really happen regardless they have evil intentions, it will still benefit the cryptocurrency community because a big investor will enter. Surely, the market will be affected in a nice way. Growth and price value may happen. I just really hope Bezos won't be another Elon in the making.

I always doubt when they say they "gonna do smth" instead of actually doing it. is it happens - cool. If not - why the hell did you say that then?

People choose to stay anonymous and use Bitcoin for purchases. And some of them will use anonymous payment system to order goods on Amazon to their home address. L - Logic.
I wonder how many bad guys gonna be deanonymized when police will match bitcoin address in their records with deliver addresses for Amazon purchases.

We have been waiting for this, it's bigger than Tesla accepting bitcoin, so hopefully, the information is true so it will bring a positive impact to the price of bitcoin in the future. We saw some sudden pump, for sure it's the result of this news but if it's not confirmed, it will only remain as a speculation. we need a statement from amazon themselves to confirm the news.
