No you aren't real very well up to date. 
The Amazon rumors turned out to be a fake and Amazon explicitly explained in public that there are no plans to accept Bitcoin on their platform in 2021, as was stated in the article.
It's sad that the rumors were not responded to quickly enough to spread widely in various media, very bad if it's a way of market manipulation for the benefit of certain traders. Crypto is still crypto so there is no need for adoption for big platforms as they can revoke crypto adoption at any time to bring down the market. The Amazon rumors turned out to be a fake and Amazon explicitly explained in public that there are no plans to accept Bitcoin on their platform in 2021, as was stated in the article. Dude, the rumors were actually credited for bringing Bitcoin up a little, so if they didn't respond to it, it might even have had a bigger effect if it was true (but it wasn't, as in, it wasn't true, and it wasn't even the reason Bitcoin got back up in price).
Market manipulation is there anyway, like it or not. We can't do much about it, so why complain?
There is a need for big adoption, but just simply accepting BTC thru thirdparty:)
