One challenge with companies taking bitcoin (and people using it) is that it puts it in the hands of the people this article refers to.
Think of this, you buy stuff from Amazon using bitcoin, what happens to the bitcoin? Do you think that Amazon will pay its employees in that or still Fiat? My bet is fiat. Hence, the btc is held by Amazon and if you look up the institutions outside Bezos who have stake in that company, guess who it is? The banksters. The same goes for most corporations.
I agree the company will most likely to continue to pay their employees in fiat. I also heard that there are ties between the top tier of Amazon employees and CIA. Could be fact or it could be conspiracy.
Thank you for your comment @nexusvortex777.
The challenge with the conspiracy theorists is many tie everything to the CIA.
The flip side is that there is usual some truth, at least in part, to most conspiracies. In other words, something doesnt add up.
I dont look at this as a conspiracy...simply a way to re-distribute bitcoin because the masses are fairly naive.
Bitcoin is in the hands of the people now, they get excited to buy stuff on Amazon using bitcoin, which puts bitcoin in the hands of the corporations who are owned by the banksters.
And down the road the people will complain that all the bitcoin is in their hands.
Do you think HODLing is the best option to keep it out of the hands of companies such as Amazon? I think that would be one of the best options or trading with other people whom you are sure aren't a part of a corporation. Small businesses could start accepting bitcoin, too. We'll see as time passes and more people begin to use the currency.
