According to an unidentified “insider”, Amazon could accept bitcoin payments by the end of the year.
There are no certainties, e the news should be considered at the moment only as an indiscretion. The only thing that is certain is that the company that runs the West’s most important e-commerce site has published a job offer on its official website with which it seeks a “product leader” for digital currencies and blockchain.
In the announcement on the law:
“The Payments Acceptance & Experience team is looking for an experienced product leader to develop Amazon’s Digital Currency and Blockchain strategy and product roadmap. You will leverage your experience in the Blockchain, Distributed Ledger, Central Bank Digital Currencies and cryptovalute…”
The announcement also confirms that Amazon is working on its own digital currency and blockchain. It is possible that it is a stablecoin, perhaps similar in some ways to the one Facebook is working on (Diem, ex Libra).
According to an insider, the real plans of the company would be much deeper than one can imagine if you simply read the text of the job offer.
The insider allegedly stated:
“It’s not just about setting up cryptocurrency payment solutions in the future – this is an integral, well-discussed and comprehensive part of the future mechanism of how Amazon will work. Start with Bitcoin: this is the first key phase of this crypto project and the directive comes from the top… from Jeff Bezos same”.
