Amazon doesn't accept cash. Is cash not money? They don't accept $foreignCurrency either, is that no longer money when you cross the border? Or do you mean "money is what you can use to pay your taxes"? That works to exclude crypto, at least for most of the world.

Funny, Amazon does accept cash on delivery, so you are factually wrong. Doubly wrong since Amazon also accepts gift cards which can be bought with cash.

  Where does Amazon accept cash on delivery? Also, by this logic Amazon accepts electronic cash that can be "bought" with crypto, right? Maybe dollars are just gift cards for bitcoin :P

      It’s quite easy to convert crypto into Amazon gift cards, which can then be used to buy stuff on Amazon. So it’s not exactly a big hop to go from crypto to Amazon.

I imagine they’re more than happy to take your cash at their 4-star and pop-up physical locations.

Of course Amazon accepts cash. Cash on Delivery is one way. [1] Other ways are listed on Amazon's webpage entitled "Shop on Amazon, pay in cash". [2] Also, Amazon has teamed up with Western Union for your cash oriented shopping needs.

  So, it's "in egypt", and "yeah, you can use your cash at a bank that will send it to us digitally, because we don't take cash". Obviously Amazon supports system that let you convert cash into digital, but that's something else.

    No, it's not just "in Egypt". That's completely wrong.

> Amazon doesn't accept cash. Is cash not money? Cash is one form of USD, which is money. In case you're wondering, a cash-only business accepts money too.
