There’s no reason at all to use a virtual currency other than to pilot the technology you might need to support bitcoin. Amazon coins are nothing more than book tokens, but the infrastructure amazon creates will add value to the company if it can be altered to accomodate bitcoins.

If amazon accepts bitcoin in the near future for it’s apps, the value of BTC will skyrocket, same for ebay, google, apple, etc. etc. If one big one goes, the others will follow, and as soon as that happens: ‘BANG” – new economy.

Watch this space carefully. The revolution is coming.

It’s a bit early but clearly the meaning of money is rapidly evolving. Sorry Milton, it’s a new game.

We (http://www.efemurl.com) are also working on this and will have on something like this and will have our solution ready shortly
