Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and Blue Origin, started following Shibetoshi Nakamoto, founder of Dogecoin (DOGE) on Twitter. While the platform does not display the date, it is estimated to have happened on Friday (6).
Interestingly, Bezos has no affiliation with Doge or its creator, just as Amazon has never revealed any plans to accept cryptocurrencies in its company. In support of this, the company’s current CEO stated three weeks ago that Amazon will implement cryptocurrencies shortly.
Recently, even one of Bitcoin’s biggest ex-supporters, Roger Ver, claimed that Doge is better than BTC itself. Will this meme cryptocurrency be Bitcoin’s biggest competitor in the future? Supporters abound and Bezos could be next.
Jeff Bezos vs Elon Musk
Jeff Bezos is currently the second richest man in the world, behind Tesla CEO Elon Musk. In addition to this dispute, it’s worth remembering that while Musk founded SpaceX, Bezos created Blue Origin, also focused on spacecraft and spaceflight, both of which are competing for multi-billion dollar contracts with the US government.
Musk is known as a strong supporter of Dogecoin, which is why he often interacts with the tweets of Billy Markus, real name of Shibetoshi Nakamoto. So it’s possible that Bezos found Doge’s founder through Musk.
Despite having 4.1 million Twitter followers, Jeff Bezos only follows 74 accounts. In addition to several Amazon-affiliated companies, such as Prime Video, AWS, and Prime Video, the billionaire follows other successful entrepreneurs—except Elon Musk—and in this way, Doge’s founder is out of the loop.
Dogecoin on Amazon?
Maybe Jeff Bezos inadvertently followed Shibetoshi Nakamoto on Twitter while spying on Elon Musk’s account, we don’t know. However, the Doge community was both excited and surprised by the event, prompting some hilarious footage, as seen in the tweets below.

Finally, it takes a lot of optimism to expect Amazon to implement Dogecoin payments. Anyway, it’s interesting to know that the world’s second richest man also keeps an eye on cryptocurrencies, as does Elon Musk and 1.4 million others who also follow the founder of Doge.
