At first, I was sure this was fake news, but many people have jumped on and started to ask Amazon support about this. It looks like it really is coming! Earlier this week we found out Burger King Russia was going to add Bitcoin support, and now Amazon? It's a great time for cryptocurrency acceptance around the world.
This is a chat from /u/ChippaCrypt from the LTC reddit.
Another successful chat from /u/FiveStarFacial55
My personal chat with Amazon UK ended up with a possibly confused support agent, it sounded promising but nevertheless they took my feedback.
I recommend everyone reading this post to contact Amazon, and ask them about this. Post your response in the comments so everyone can see!
The more people who ask them, the more likely it will be added. There are already a few promising reports, but the more they hear our feedback, then every support agent will be talking about it at their meetings :)
There have been only a few people to publish their responses, so if you'd like to help to verify my story, please do contact Amazon and post a screenshot in the comment.

I honestly think it is sad how the zombies on here just write a comment to try and get upvoted by just reading the headline! You guys need to start reading articles to actually know what it is about. He is saying if enough people put in a request with amazon this might happen!
True...but you have to give credit to @someguy123 for picking a great title
lmao, no one READS the articles, people just fly down to the bottom and comment, ive seen people post comments 12 seconds after something was posted lol
LMAO! And yet @paulyaces76 upvoted every self comment on here. @moderninvestor
It's a shame. This is all over the place. People read a headline, comment, share, etc. and never read it.
There was something done by NPR a bit ago that showcased this. Check it out here:

That's why we need Zappl. Most of the people are coming from Facebook and Twitter. We are used to one-liners status and images.
I will say people only having the attention span for only one-liners and images is going to kill good, thoughtful and focused work. :)
Hi @DanMurphy & @FreedomNation... Please kindly consider the comments I made earlier...
Not to go against your opinions but have You heard of https://purse.io ? ?
Check it out... it's been around for about 2 years & allows people to purchase quite of few products on Amazon at a Discount...Using BitCoin !!
So perhaps Amazon is actually considering going forward with "directly" accepting Bitcoin. It certainly seems plausible.
Thank You Dan & FreedomNation... Have a Good Weekend !!
I agree. Zombies are sad. Very good comment! ; )
Do they actually get any upvotes doing that lol
supply and demand....such a new wave theory.
WOWW that would be sooo BULLISH for the whole crypto indusrty if AMAZON allows Bitcoin....Lets all jump on this rocket ship!!!!!
^^^UP! UP! AND AWAY!!^^^
People try to make money by creating rumors.
I was looking forward to this and have mentioned it in some of my comments. This will send both of these coins to the moon. 5k bitcoin by the end of the year is 100%. Amazon has tens of millions of users. Blockchain going mainstream. Hope we can see some news for our beloved Steem currency soon. :)
They said the amazon rep didn't know what they were talking about!
@PaulyAces76... With all due respect, please kindly read my comment a little bit further down... here's what I wrote:

It's exciting to see this!
It's cool that small independent operators start accepting BTC and alt coins... but the big step towards more "mass market" adoption of cryptos will come when millions of people start seeing the "Bitcoin accepted" on their checkout pages.
I'll certainly add my voice, and can even do so (as an amazon marketplace seller) with the additional incentive that "Our customers are asking for this, so you're potentially losing sales not having it as a payment method." I'd encourage any other amazon sellers to do the same!
@SomeGuy123... WoW... This really IS Great News !!
Have read about so many Good things You have done here at Steemit, especially helping our Witnesses setting up as a Witness.
UpVoted, Following & Voted You as Witness previously. Thanks Again !!

Nice, This looks pretty promising. I may contact them myself on monday :)
@someguy123 This is a great New for Cryptocurrency. Have Amazon accept Bitcoin/Litecoin that will take us to another level. I will believe, the small company will follow.
I want them to add steem and steem dollars too as a mode of payment. I believe that it will happen in the future. Blochchain technology is here to stay. Upvoted and following you for more, lets stay in touch
Yes, Steem is the future! I agree.
Thats going to be great. But its also going to effect businesses like BitCart who sell these gift cards for Bitcoins. Guess they are counting their last days (Unless they pivot)
thats great news
Will this become their new logo?
I have upvoted and resteem your post. You was sure this was fake news, but many people have jumped on and started to ask Amazon support about this. It looks like it really is coming! Earlier this week you found out Burger King in Russia was going to add Bitcoin support, and now Amazon? It's a great time for cryptocurrency acceptance around the world. Nice share Mr. @someguy123
I like your post.
That your word make me motivate to post a blog like yours.
Followed you nice article hop u follow back and upvote my comment
This is awesome news! A company like Amazon to endorse Bitcoin is huge for the community! I personally have mostly invested towards Ethereum, but this might change my direction!
Resteemed and upvoted!
litecoin popular already.
i still dont get the mechanism, since crypto today is extremely volatile. i mean, i pay 0.01 bitcoin for stuff, it equals 30$ today, but tomorrow it crashed, so...wont it seriously hit the industry?
I have upvoted and resteem your post.@someguy123 this really is great news.
You know when something is about to blow up and there's always that one guy says something obvious...
I'll be that guy.
IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN STEEM FAM!
What?! the Futur of Bitcoin can begin.
Nice one man soon bitcoin will be placed everywhere, Such a pitty i didn't buy one when IT was 25$
Cheers
Wow cryptocurrencies are future 100%. I am so sorry for myself living in third world country
Nice, waiting for it now! :D
Hello, nice article, thanks for it, it will be great if amazon approve bitcoin.
wow!
upvoted ands resteemed
you can use Purse.io to buy Amazon stuff at a discount using BTC
Wow... that's amazing if true, from one of those chats.
Upvoted & resteemed :)
This would be so cool- can't wait for this
Cool! Big steps for crypto
Whatever you might think of Amazon, having them accepting Bitcoin and Litecoin are huge steps, almost like landing on the moon! 🙌
Mainstream sites like these and bigger more global companies are exactly what cryptocurrency needs for major adoption.
These are interesting times ahead for sure. I just hope that Bitcoin can find a good way of handling the payments that the network should pass around for this. That's one of the problems that I see coming, as many companies may just be jumping on because "it's the right thing to do cause crypto is the future" without actually understanding the underlying concepts of how they work.
Thanks for sharing this @someguy123!

THIS IS BIG NEWS! They must be the first major online retailer to go crypto right? Someone please enlighten me? :) So many good things happening. It's nice to be hearing it over steemit. Reliable is all I'd say. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!

That's great news thanks for sharing bro thumbs up for this post #upvoted
This is HUGE if it turns out to be true
STEEM On !!
Dave
Wow, this is GREAT news. I have always wanted Amazon to take bitcoin. Hopefully this is truly legit!
enough said!!
Great news :)
ohhh...The first think I said after i noticed this post, and the title , was--- OMG, this is to good to be true. Amazon !?
But...maybe I'm wrong. Time will tell
follow me and i follow you tnx
Well, that would be awesome if it happens.
If this happens, btc and ltc are going to go F'n nuts! Hop on board the train to moon town!
That is amazing.
I can't wait the few months until they accept BTC
BTC is going to go to the moon
My only concern is that this will end with anonymity because it will be possible to make the link between a bitcoin address and an Amazon account. Despite this, that will be a huge step forward for cryptocurrencies.
Thats awesome news, now all I need is some Bitcoin to spend lol
That's super good news. Wasn't there a petition for this for a while now?
It is a normal step that has to be done, hopefully from now on we will have only good news. Cheers.
Wow, this is great news! I can't wait to see the faces of the people I tried to get into bitcoin when it was $250 and litecoin was $2. Once Amazon does this, the price will make a big jump up and then it will exponentially increase as more Amazon uses get into crypto as well as when other companies and institutions start to accept cryptos!
