This just in! Amazon and Bitcoin what?
 

On October 31, Amazon registered three domains related to cryptocurrency, sparking speculation that Amazon may soon begin accepting cryptocurrency. The domains are amazonethereum.com, amazoncryptocurrency.com, and amazoncryptocurrencies.com. Amazon already owns the ?amazonbitcoin.com? domain name.

Just thought I would post this to get the trolls foaming at the mouth!

I guess it's a go then

I had read not too long ago that some people think the current explosion in price of Bitcoin is based, at least in part, on the rumor that Amazon is going to start accepting Bitcoin as payment, at least in some countries.

Defensive registration...they will never use those domains and you know it...pump and dump fail...get a job....

look at your posts about BTC from 2013, look at the price back then, look at the price now..and look at your posts now...
maybe its time to wake up ? It will never go under few hundred bucks, you complained that it was too expensive when it was 50 bucks :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

registering those domains doesnt have to mean anything...

gee, amazonbitcoin.com redirects to amazon.com

its going to be big.

some people cant buy a clue

buy btc, hold as storage of value, or investment, and this (to some retards) considered as "crime and speculation" funny shiznit today guys

oh, about Amazon, i dont believe they'll be implementing any crypto payment options anytime soon. It's still not ready for grandma or our parents. Barely ready for even us (our ages). Next gen could be tho

why people buy gold comrade ? :)

since 1000's of years ?

what guarantee you have that it will be BTC and not some other, better crypto, built on better basics ?

Anything is possible but I tend to agree looks like a defensive measure as most large companies own hundreds or thousands of domains just so others can't register them as renewal costs are chump change for a company of that size. Future might go somewhere but as of today don't think enough demand for them to implement.

i wouldnt gaurantee anything in crypto, it never ceases to amaze

it's all too new in the large scale of things, imo. And yes, if Amazon were to allow crypto payments in future could totally be something other than BTC, ETH, xrp, Dash, or all, who knows , we def dont (altho safe to assume they'd consider BTC first since its got the largest & best development team)

Why would any corporation it's size use bitcoin when it could create its own blockchain?

I registered last week Welcome to dbit.trade this doesn't mean I am doing an ICO next week.

Gold is an almost perfect storage of value...5kg gold will buy you a house 100 years ago and today...it is realistic and does not bubble...

BTC is a HYIP...10.000 BTC could buy a pizza 8 years ago but will buy you an airport in 8 years and 1000 airports in another 8 years...

You did not buy BTC to "store value" you purchased it to HYIP and we both know this...ALL of you are treating it like a HYIP...a HYIP is a HYIP buy any other name...they all end the same...

Oh and gold has actual armies willing to protect it...fort Knox comes to mind...do you know they keep the gold underground and in case of a breach by robbers they flood the whole place? Kick ass...

Replicating the bitcoin dev team is easy as pie, isn't it?

Ohhhh shit, haha, it makes sense now!!! As most "gold dudes" are anti-bitcoin, it's taking the spark away from gold, as it should be.

But now i think i understand your motives for always flaming bitcoin.

Very interesting information.

and what does Bitcoin and Gold has in common that makes them good storage of value ?
name two things :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Pretty sure Amazon has a few more staff members with the knowledge.

BTC is not a storage of value...you did not buy it to store value...there is not 1 person on this forum who did so...if you wanted to store value you would have picked gold...we both know this...gold will never tank...BTC on the other hand is wide open...


ALL of you view and treat BTC like a HYIP...every single one of you...you are all buying to make easy money with no work....this is not storage of value...it is a HYIP...

you are dreaming if thinking that bitcoin will ever drop below few hundred dollars:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
so does it make it a good storage of value or no ? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I will tell you these two things: being independent of governments and central banks and LIMITED supply.

Btw. I dont posess any BTCs or other cryptos..unfortunately..but thats gonna change soon :)

What the fuck is "bit coin"?

These registrations are probably defensive registrations or a false flag -- did you check the whois expiry dates? I did :)

With regard to gold it is overpriced, IMHO.
One US quarter dollar coin weighs 0.17 oz (I know because I weighted it) they shave the weight now apparently -- a solid silver quarter was 0.25.)
That US quarter, if it were solid gold, would be worth $216 -- would you give its value in goods?
Same could be said of Bitcoin @ $7000 -- would you give its value in goods?

The real intrinsic value of gold is its use in industrial processing or in jewelry. If the diamond cartel did not restrict the diamond's supply the price would collapse -- think about it ...

So true. :thumbsup

Good question to ask is: if you didn't expect the price of BTC to rise would you still buy it? The answer is obviously "no", and so obviously you aren't seeking "storage of value", you are going after easy profits like crucifissio pointed out.

Yeah, sorta like pushing porn.

could not buy longer domains?

amazoncryptocurrencies.com :))



yeap owned by somebody and redirect to affiliate program

another cryptocurrenty shit storm.

@klinton

It is not a good storage of value because the gov can ban it any time for any reason..."we are having a bad hair day so we will ban Bitcoin"... localbitcoins becomes localsting.com...exchangers go poof!...seized funds and coins...just like egold,evocash,1mdc,liberty reserve etc...exchangers POOF!

And if you buy at 7000$ and it tanks to 200$ that's amazingly bad storage in any case...Gold will never tank like this...stability is a good thing...

You have a very short term outlook my friend ...

Some rode the ups and downs but gold crashed over 70% of its value in my lifetime.
What did the same weight of gold buy in 1200 AD as compared to what it buys today -- things like food, real property or even a suit of clothes.

1 troy ounce of gold bought a men's dress suit of good quality in 1976 and today it could buy double that. By that thinking; it is only worth half its current price, So, gold is an inflated asset. Gold is not that liquid either -- no more than Bitcoin really. Physical gold held as a hedge needs to be assayed before sold in any quantity -- it's not like you can AMT so gold into fiat currency when you need it cashed out.

Diamonds are the same way. Silver is a little better because of the weight to value is more practical.

The only storage of wealth is canned food and that is limited by its best used date.

There is no such thing as stored wealth that is stable or does not depreciate. A house to live in will always be a habitable house (so long as you can pay the property taxes, the utilities and maintain that property in usable condition). Will you want to live on that property in 20 or 30 years? Probably not :(

If cryptocurrecy ever becomes a real threat to the banking system and government control of commerce -- it will get severely stomped down.

If these 'kids' get what they want they will be their own demise. Some of this is just foolish kid stuff :2 cents:

lol lol...just like they may ban using gold, diamonds, silver and so on :)

actually the communists were always doing that, so maybe you as a communist seem it totally possible :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

not really, you are mistaken...
gold is excellent storage of value, but not if you look in perspective of 5 or 10, but rather 30,50 or 100 years :)

I was in many countries, and everyone of them had hundreds of shops with adverts : "we buy gold and silver"

go figure why:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
