Note: Amazon.com – the world’s largest online retailer – is setting up to accept Bitcoin as payment. When that happens, everything changes. The other online vendors will follow suit. Amazon recently registered three Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cryptocurrency domains. The domains are amazonethereum.com, amazoncryptocurrency.com, amazoncryptocurrencies.com.
