 Lately, I read through an article which stated that Amazon is considering accepting bitcoin as a payment option. In my opinion, this is a big step forward and will surely take bitcoin to new highs. What are your thoughts? Do you think mass adoption will happen sooner rather than later? https://cointelegraph.com/news/more-rumors-amazon-could-accept-bitcoin-as-all-eyes-on-conference-call

My feeling is they want to be project themselves as a forward moving business that is capable of accepting modern technology. In regards to fixing I think it aids Amazons image and opens up international markets since people can pay in a universal currency.
