it doesn't matter if the all-mighty facebook tried something or the m$, whoopie.

none of that is happening NOW. none of that added up to fincen regulations, none of that added up to dhs pulling shit.

none of that has anything to do with the fact that that dhs went after dwolla this week. now.
Why do you think Amazon Coins are a crypto currency? What got you that idea? None of the articles say it is, the Amazon PR does not say it is, it is not stored in a wallet or such. It is simply stored in the Amazon local DB with all your other information. This is simply a way to pre-pay buying stuff and give discounts for doing so. This is it. Has nothing to do with a crypto currency, at least not right now.
