Right now it seems that the first crypto to build a partnership with Amazon - which would be a VERY hard thing to do - will pull ahead and probably overtake Bitcoin within hours of the news! Once a company as large as Amazon is comfortable taking a portion of their revenue in crypto, many unsure people will become trusting of the 'new' technology.

Also, with IBM becoming a big player in the Crypto space, they will likely have an 'upper-hand' when it comes to negotiating with other large companies (meaning they might be the first to partner with Amazon).

It is always possible for Litecoin to integrate privacy into a coming hard fork, but it would require them to hide the blockchain and I do not think that LTC's existing users will accept that.

Thank you for your follow!
