Amazon Coins are here

[yast]

There is actually a long history of speculation about Amazon talking about taking bitcoin, because their CEO is an established libertarian and everyone in the bitcoin community knows and listens to him. (Or at least used to.)

He may be a libertarian, but first and foremost he is a capitalist, and a bad ass motherfucker one.
If i where him i would have done the same. Soon we will see Exchanges offering BTC/"AmazonCoin" transfers , and those would not even be regulated by FinCen. Win-win.

Anyway, for weeks we've been hearing that Amazon was going to launch their own "coin," so putting two and two together was a mistake made my tens of thousands of people... Let's just say our hopes were a tad bit... Higher.

Already used it for BK here in BKK; thanks.

My mood is well-lifted already between gyft and billpayforcoins, and then as a bonus, tomorrow is the day when the wallet client is going to fork again for users who haven't upgraded... So I'm betting the price will go down a bit on the reaction, so I can sell some now and then buy it up again at discount after it's little crash in a day or so.

virtual currency pegged to real currencies are the most viable way to move currencies now. WMZ, WMR etc
