    Netflix Exec Suggests Streaming Video Giant Open to Bitcoin


    Stan Higgins | Published on January 11, 2016

    Netflix CFO David Wells touched on the subject of bitcoin during a question-and-answer session at an investor event earlier this month.

    Speaking at the 2016 Internet, Media and Telecommunications Conference, held on 6th and 7th January, Wells was asked about lessons Netflix learned amid problems launching payment services in Latin America.

    Wells remarked that the company is still adjusting to those lessons today, as well as experiences from integrations in Europe. He said that the world of payments is in a state of evolution, and that bitcoin could be a solution to some of the issues it has faced.

    Wells said:

    “We'll see where we go from here in the next 10, 15 years from a payments perspective, because countries still want to hold on to their monetary policy. But [it] sure would be nice to have bitcoin, in terms of a global currency, that you could use globally.”

    While Wells made no indication that Netflix is looking to integrate bitcoin, the comments are sure to spark speculation that the company is at least aware of the technology.

    The event came after the announcement that the popular content streaming service would expand its area of service by 130 countries, a move revealed at the 2016 CES electronics conference.

    A representative for Netflix declined to comment when reached.

    you can get things discounted at Amazon using Purse, starting at 20%, you just create a wishlist, and people wishing to spend their giftcards into Bitcoin help you buy what you want, and will do so at a discount. The people with the giftcards are people who have earned them via various
    labor sharing sites online and would rather stock up on Bitcoin than buy things online.
