user3656: This article talks about amazon creating its own crypto currency, the Amazon coin.
You can buy the coins at a set price in Amazon
Is this worth any bother? It seems like you cant trade amazon coins for Bitcoins. Did Amazon jsut create a self regulated Crypto currency that is a massive smoke cloud to use the word Crypto in Amazon and generate some interest?
Or Should i buy 10000? and wait for the price to go up?

user33: The price wont rise, they are issued and redeemable by Amazon. Think of it as loyalty points you would receive from your local supermarket to use later rather than a cryptocurrency.
