Although the digital unit looks positive, experts warn that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are volatile instruments. There might be significant volatility in the markets soon. Investors should be cautious before making any investments. Partially, Bitcoin’s recent rebound was due to speculations on social media about Amazon’s plans to allow bitcoin as a method of payment.

The e-commerce giant refuted all reports. “Notwithstanding our interest, the speculation surrounding our specific plans to use cryptocurrencies is false.” A spokesperson for Amazon stated that they are still focused on exploring the possibilities of what this might look like for Amazon customers who shop on Amazon.
