Well, the rumor is already there.Amazon may have no plan to accept cryptocurrency now, but Amazons attitude matters greatly. Its reasonable to assume that if Amazon eventually accepts cryptocurrency, the entire market could be lifted.

Note, 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.

This is not the first time a rumor has circulated that Amazon will accept digital currency. A few weeks ago, there was news based on sources in Silicon Valley reporting that Amazon could soon integrate Bitcoin as a payment option.

That's a bit strange for me. How people are taking it seriously. The amazon gives mass adoption or advertisement to the bitcoin and that's okay. But it seems the amazon try to divided the market. And it just like the amazon try to build an public opinion about the amazon try to adopt the crypto because the amazon already bought some domain related to the crypto. But remember the amazon can change the plan anytime. Remember that's waste our time to bet on the rumor.

I really want to believe that is the case as well. It is possible they really do not have the possibility of implementing it soon or they really do, but there is one thing I have known about these guys and their strategies which is to use rumors and speculations to get public opinions before they make a pretty big decision. Well, the public opinion is glaring and it seems most of their users who are crypto enthusiast obviously want it, so it is possible, rumor or no rumor, we may see them activating it soon or in coming year, with CNBC even announcing them registering some domains about 5 days ago.
