Ah, yes, that was Amazon's mistake. Accepting Internet money has meant that I've been able to just email them photocopies of the same money over and over. Hahaha, it has been the perfect crime. I hope Amazon never embrances Ethereum and I can keep getting free merchandise forever.

I get the joke but you don't send Amazon money, you just tell someone else (after multiple third-parties and fees) to let them take some of the money you store with them.

It's not at all like handing someone some cash, I never "signed up" to my local grocery store and I don't need to login to make a purchase, I can just hand them some cash.

This is the rare actually funny comment on hn.
