Amazon's Jeff Bezos Now Follows Doge Co-Founder Billy Markus On Twitter: Is Something Cooking?

A development that was reported over the weekend sent the Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) community into a tizzy.

When this was brought to the attention of Markus, he tweeted a GIF with the text ‘Jeff Bezos, You did it.'

The Doge community was quick to jump into conclusions. One of them welcomed Amazon into the Doge family.

Another said it will have a significant impact on the crypto.

Why It's Important: Amazon doesn't accept Doge or, for that matter, any other crypto as a payment option on its ecommerce platform. A job posting by the ecommerce giant last year triggered speculation that it could begin accepting cryptos. The company, however, has not communicated anything in this regard thus far.

A petition urging Amazon and Bezos to accept Doge as a payment option on Change.com has garnered 240,725 signatures at press time. Doge was seen rising 3.57% to $0.1315 on Saturday, according to Benzinga Pro.
