IS BITCOIN THE AMAZON STANDARD Amazon Is Getting Serious About Accepting Bitcoin For Payment By Alex Mcshane Amazon has begun its search to hire a Digital Currency and Blockchain Product Lead, to enable modern and inexpensive payments on Amazon.   Back in 2017, Amazon started purchasing bitcoin related domains. After an interview with Amazon Pay's Vice President, Patrick Gauthier, explained that the company had no plans to accept Bitcoin because there wasn't enough demand yet. Now, things are different, and with institutions and banks joining the open monetary network it does make sense to get on board before competitors. This last week, Amazon has begun its search to hire a Digital Currency and Blockchain Product Lead for its Payment Acceptance & Experience Team, the team responsible for facilitating billions of online customer payments. If Amazon were to adopt bitcoin as a means of payment, this would surely introduce millions of users and validate its value for a part of the skeptical population, a major step towards establishing a bitcoin standard.   Read More → BITCOIN IS BEAUTIFUL Bitcoin Artwork Will MakeYour Life Beautiful By Nelson Chen Artwork inspired by Bitcoin carries an essence of beauty created by the technological revolution at hand. This article is part 8 of 12 in an ongoing series that parallels Bitcoin and writings by Jordan Peterson. While the article is on point, I can't help but comment on the beautiful art featured in the article.  Earlier this year at Bitcoin 2021 conference we had a dedicated art gallery that showed the art featured in the article. Artists have been creating Bitcoin inspired art for a long time, but we've hit a new level of excellence over the past 2 years. We're seeing the emergence of auction platforms and NFT's for Bitcoin art which is a telling sign. The market is maturing and the quality is going up (Quality Go Up = QGU). Personally, I am challenged with the idea of stacking sats or picking up a piece of art. I mean, I still stack sats but you should enjoy life and encircle yourself with people and objects that inspire you!

OPENING TO MAINSTREAM Bitcoin ATMs Are Popping Up To Meet Demand And Propel Mainstream Adoption By Namcios Bitcoin ATM units in the U.S. have nearly doubled in a year, indicating a growing demand from retail investors who seek convenience. The U.S. has more than doubled its number of bitcoin ATMs in less than a year, amounting to over 38,000. As bitcoin's popularity grows further, its demand does so in parallel and its accessibility must follow. Circle K, a convenience store chain, has previously announced its partnership with Bitcoin Depot to bring ATMs to its stores, with 700 machines already installed. Bitcoin ATMs have proven to be a convenient way to onboard users directly to a self custodial wallet, opposite to exchanges where users start without holding their own keys. It does, however, come with a cost, since ATM fees are usually higher than exchange fees.  Read More → SPONSORED BY DEEP DIVE AMERICAN INTEREST TRIPLES Bitcoin Ownership In The U.S. Has Tripled Since 2018, A Gallup Survey Found By Namcios A Gallup survey found that the number of American investors holding bitcoin has tripled in three years, while skepticism has declined. After a recent survey, Gallup found that people are considering bitcoin less risky and in general found themselves more open to the idea to it by either already owning some or considering owning some sometime in the future. Some of the most amazing statistics showing the trend bitcoin adoption are the following: 6% of U.S. investors in 2021 own bitcoin, while in 2018 the number was 2%. 13% of adults from 18-49 y/o own bitcoin, while in 2018 the number was 3%. 8% of the interviewed in 2021 have more than $100,000 of total investments, compared to 2% in 2018. As the community who owns bitcoin increases, word of mouth exposure does as well. If this is where we are now, think about where we are going. Things look promising.
