Ask HN: Amazon, with Bitcoin?

3 pointskarlcoelho14 comments

BitCoin has become really popular recently, and Amazon is as famous as ever right now. An Amazon with Bitcoin Payment only, would be amazing! I'm talking Bitcoin as the ONLY means of payment, here. Overstock.com is an exception.

This makes little sense to me. Bitcoin only? Seems like they would miss out on a lot of business; which from my perspective they want more business from a variety of means(i.e. Amazon Fresh). My Mom and Grandmother do not know what Bitcoin is, let alone how how to acquire it. Bitcoin as an added payment, yes.

It's just an idea. Bitcoin could possibly be the next biggest thing from the Internet. Not just a new currency, but a new form of monetary means. I'm sure your mom and Grandmother didn't know about the Internet in the 1990's, right? What about now? It's just been 20 years, since.

What's your question, exactly?

Ooops! I mean't to say, is there anything like this exactly at the moment?
