SO 74 Bitcoins are worth 75$ value Amazon giftcard? How is this not ripoff? I mean 1 Bitcoin is like 140$ and if you buy Amazon giftcards in bulk I assume one can get some sort of price reduction.


Thanks for pointing out that UI confusion. I will fix it :)

You pay the equivalent of $74 in BTC according to the live exchange rate. So you pay USD 1 less.

It's not a ripoff, it's a discount. example: Right now, you'd pay 0.3333 BTC.

Again, I see that the UI isn't 100% obvious, I will make sure that it is updated shortly.


I've added live rates to the site now so that there's no confusion. You'll see exactly what you'll be paying in BTC :)


He is charging .3333 of a bitcoin for a $75 gift card. Which is fair since a bitcoin is $223
