honest question: what's the advantage of bitcoins over amazon gift cards (or any other prepaid credit)?

they are immediate, cheap and can be exchanged for real money for free.

I don't know. I never tried doing that. Amazon is pretty useless in Croatia so that probably wouldn't work, but there might be some prepaid cards that would.

I don't know, haven't explored that option honestly.
