Oh so I have to be using Amazon's wallet.

Not really. It will affect you eventually no matter which wallet you use as I explained in my prior post.

Customers of the cartel naturally transact at the cartel's website or retail POS terminals. So the cartel can control these transactions and starve the Bitcoin network of these revenues. Eventually this drives the Bitcoin mining network bankrupt, except for the cartel's mining servers which continue to function. Thus the mining network becomes asymptotically 100% controlled by the cartel. So then it affects you no matter which wallet you send from. The customers of the cartel will be happy, but you won't be if you don't also become a customer of the cartel.

Once the cartel controls the mining network, they control Bitcoin. Then the government can regulate the cartel, so the government controls Bitcoin. So then they do whatever they want, including printing as many new coins as they want to.
