Amazon namerava letos sprejeti plačila z bitcoini, trdi notranji

An anonymous source within Amazon has reportedly Rekel London business newspaper City A.M. that the e-commerce giant is planning to accept Bitcoin (BTC) payments by the end of 2021, possibly setting the stage for broader mainstream acceptance of crypto transactions. 

"To ne gre zgolj za to, da bi nekoč v prihodnosti vzpostavili rešitve za plačevanje s kriptovalutami - to je popoln, dobro razpravljan, sestavni del prihodnjega mehanizma, kako bo Amazon deloval," je anonimni vir je povedal City AM, v skladu s poročilom, objavljenim v nedeljo

Opozorila je, da je Bitcoin, čeprav je prvi korak v Amazonovih kripto ambicijah, v prihodnosti želel dodati druge uveljavljene kriptovalute. "Direktiva prihaja s samega vrha", ki se nanaša na Jeffa Bezosa, je dejala in dodala: 

"Celoten projekt je skoraj pripravljen za začetek."

Poleg tega naj bi Amazon poleg sprejemanja plačil z bitcoini raziskal tudi ustvarjanje lastne kriptovalute, morda že leta 2022, je dejala.

As per the job description, the new hire will help develop Amazon’s digital currency strategy and product roadmap. The position requires strong domain expertise in blockchain, distributed ledgers, central bank digital currencies and crypto more generally.
