Bitcoin Forum

Anyone know if it's possible to send bitcoins via facebook? it would be the ultimate solution. Everyone has a facebook profile today, so it would really make bitcoin have a major breakthrough.

Price of bitcoins just keep climbing!! Waiting for a pullback before I buy more BTC

It has been done before... but FB blocked it.

However FB is now allowing bots... so it might be possible, even easy, to do it again.

What are the options for Bitcoin to make such a deal? I meen, does anyone own the bitcoin system, and thereby would make them able to accept such a deal?

Bitcoin is not a company to make "deal" with other companies , Bitcoin is decentralized and no one controls it. Biggest payment gateway (a third party) that Steam and other big companies uses now days is Bitpay so If Facebook decide to integrate that , they will use them for sure.

Check out the beginners section of this forum as you clearly need some help on understanding Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency which means that no one owns it.

no, and i don't think it can ever be possible because it requires a bot and they don't allow that.
check out reddit.com and see how different crypto currency bots work there and see how easy it is to use them on platforms like reddit


well, that's not true.


it will help but not a lot. what can help bitcoin move forward is more adoption and that will only happen when people start spending bitcoin instead of hoarding it.


don't wait too long or you'll regret it ;)
also move any speculation to the appropriate board.

well how about sending the address and the other part can then send bitcoin to it?!

That would be great, suppose the only way to do it right now is via a btc address, would be something pretty cool if it was done via a bot as I've seen elsewhere.

Send bitcoin via Facebook I think it doesn't make sense, Facebook just social media. Might make more sense if Facebook accept payment via bitcoin to create an ad on its website.

The question is, do you want Facebook to know your bitcoin address and see all your transactions?
In my opinion, I would not let that happen. One of the reasons why I used bitcoin is because of anonymity.

Facebook will add a new feature to their site which is Facebook marketplace, this feature will make you able to buy/sell various products without leaving facebook, thus they might add Bitcoin as payment method in the future, but I don't know a lot of information about this marketplace, the coming days will tell.

well i guess that the marketplace you're reffering to is a group created for selling in locals,if that so,then it'd be a great idea beside of only getting used to pay FB Ads which is quite effective for marketing,however there must be lack of knowledge about bitcoin becoming the main problem

Well, if we're going to go mainstream, this is something you'll have to get used to. Not only that but if Bitcoin is to be recognized and accepted as a currency worldwide, people using it cannot remain anonymous. Your real identity will have to be linked to your wallet address. They probably could still allow some level of anonymity, like for example regular people don't need to know who you are but the authorities/government will definitely know your identity.

it makes sense, it is just not a good idea. there are other social medias that have already implemented these types of bitcoin giveaways in their platform but in my opinion any kind of giveaway is not really helpful on its own. and there should be some extra work on explaining bitcoin and also more importantly to show ways of spending bitcoin.

No offence, but I suggest you go back to the beginners section as well. I am clearly a newbie, thus i am excused for my lack of knowledge. You as a senior member should know that the Bitcoin system is not decentralized. The author of the original code, have appointed several key members of the development team to maintain the backend of the bitcoin core system. It is thus not completely decentralized (but close).

Why do you need Facebook to integrate Bitcoin transactions? One could get a new Bitcoin wallet up and running in a couple of minutes tops. Plus not all people have Facebook accounts. I for one don't have an account but this hasn't stopped me from using Bitcoin has it?

Yes like my bitcoin wallet i used coins.ph we can request payment via wallet to facebook and you can do that in payments too bitcoin walelt i use is now more technology and it has partnered some bank that we can really convert our bitcoin into cash instantly.

Wow i just to know with fb we can send btc. Is not risky?

But why? Why envolve facebook?
Just download a wallet for you cellphone, it's not so hard... Or use any web wallet for micro transactions...

I see a future without facebook and people want to put bitcoin on it? ????

The ultimate solution for what?

Bitcoin will become a facebook "slave" and the independence and anonymouty will be lost.

If you want to receive payments via FB,just post your wallet address in a fb post.

It isn`t rocket science. ;D

I don't believe in this centralized sites, but if Synereo, Ashaka or even Steemit become successful and able to attract half of what facebook users, I will like it to be integrated into their system

I think it is really possible before that you can really ask payment or send bitcoin from facebook using our bitcoin wallets but i think now facebook banned it i don't really know the reason but im going to tell you once im done with my re search sometimes use google to find an answer.

now I see no a plan that leads to it. but if true then bitcoin will gain prominence. now already hundreds of millions of facebook users. and it could be a very profitable advertising medium.

I think they are still blocking Bitcoin payments though, I've found this article:
https://news.bitcoin.com/facebook-payments-messenger-bots/

Current bots are for CC and Paypal, I think.

This isn't necessary.

Setting up a wallet will just take seconds in our life. Same with sending bitcoin to others disregarding the confirmation time.

Facebook are serious in terms of privacy and security so the said query will not take place. The only possible thing that can happen is Facebook will accept bitcoin payments to their services.

I want bitcoin because of its anonymity and now you are telling us that if it goes mainstream we wil have to divulge our true identity? I don't think many will like that idea. I also do not like the idea of government knowing our identity. It is like fiats and banks all over again.

Facebook is a company that is looking for world domination by getting their users into a usury relationship. The more control they have in what they present to you,the more control they will have over you at the end of the day. You can see this in any big company.

It may seem like a great idea but look back at the Zynga poker situation where there was talk of making it a actual poker site. People where frothing at the lips thinking about all the fish this would bring to the poker scene. It died on the vine because they do not want or choose to pursue the idea. Bitcoin would go the same route as they attempted to play with it to gain more info on their users.

I think better not to integrate bitcoin payments in fb chat which may open some vulnerability to bitcoin wallets linked to facebook profiles. There are many web wallets for users that feel really missing using bitcoin daemon and light wallets. Web wallets are as easier as using paypal or other payment processor they are using everyday.

i do not think it is a good idea to intrigate bitcoin with facebook as they do not think it is good with them and there is already block explorers avalible for our help we can share the transaction hash

what a problem if facebook know your bitcoin address, facebook will not let public know their transaction.

Bold statement. No reason. Why?


Why?


Why?

Ultimate solution for what? for this?

It's easy to have a wallet, be your own bank, trust no one, and facebook never will accept this things since they can't have profit with this idea...

Awesome idea. lets report Facebook about this. it would be awesome of we have bitcoin payment in Facebook ads. they will definitely do this because there is Lee's flaws in bitcoin system then banking system. also we the users can also send bitcoin it would be a plus point for us.

Nothing for, this time, it already goes away from the bitcoin's purpose. And I guess this is never happening with us. the anonymity of bitcoin will useless for us.

Facebook " Slave" That sounds not good. I think bitcoin can be developed more than facebook.

2 year later this wallet all altcoin and bitcoin
can develop about typing giveaway coin use facebook application, but is now can not use again

but about ads in facebook payment support bitcoin until now, not support

thats bad if the information of bitcoin big holders knows them especially if they are traders .better be anonymous in any transaction :D

I agree, actually  I found Facebook very annoying these days, too much advertisement that it took much time to load especially in a country where the internet system is too slow.  And yes I won't let Facebook monitor my bitcoin address and all my transaction.  And even if Facebook allow bitcoin integration I won't be using it because of the said issue.

Are you being serious? What do you mean 'why'? Audits, taxes, money transmission, money laundering, drug trafficking, crime... and the list goes on. You seriously think that if there are no laws in place and people are allowed to do whatever they want anonymously, everyone will just behave nicely? What happens if a wealthy Westerner suddenly finds his life purpose and decides to financially support his favorite jihad/terrorist group anonymously?

not everybody has a facebook account but i think it can be a good idea if someone can make a tipping bot for facebook where you tip with bitcoin instead of liking the posts.

it will not shoot the price up but it will be ineffective either

If that should happening in a real life, i think that is will be a worst idea and caused by your address are linked with your facebook and make your someone are easy for detecting your personal data.... and the facebook will make your addreess are be a publicity on your personal information and i think i strongly disagree with it caused that is very worst for me who are wanna using bitocin caused by their anonymity.

Yeah, facebook already knows too much about our personal lives, we do not want it know about our bitcoin addresses and everything bitcoin related. There is too much being shared in bitcoin already, I do not want to add bitcoin with it.

Linking your wallet to your profile will break one of the most important thing in bitcoin: the privacy.

And probably if in a dream(or nightmare) it occurs, for sure users will more some fee to facebook too.

So, it's not really a big deal at all.

First of all, are you sure about this? Because I don't think "everyone" has a Facebook profile, they could probably just use Twitter or the other social media. Facebook it's not the only social media in this planet, and neither the most important.

You can use ChangeTip (https://www.changetip.com/), it's a platform to share Bitcoin into any social media. And that someone you give doesn't have to bother filling out the sign-up cuz it's super easy to do.

Even someone develop such bots facebook need to allow it to function and i don't think they soon gonna allow this integration with bitcoin payments. The one who like to use bitcoin care much about privacy and with facebook your privacy is open to everyone in this world.

Are you? You made strong statements, with nothing to back it up. When people don't understand your reasoning, they ask "why?".



Why is it actually needed, necessitated for Bitcoin to become commonplace? And if your argument is "....because terr'sm, and all these horrible folk", then put the TV remote down, lol. If you enjoy being terrified by pictures on a screen, go to the movies. ::)

The reason I didn't explain myself the first time is because I thought it would be obvious why. The fact that you actually seem to be serious can only mean that you take for granted everything the modern world has to offer today (or that you're unfathomably naive). You think all this modern comfort was built on roses and happy thoughts? It's a dog eat dog world out there buddy and the only thing that's holding everything in place is the law. Perhaps you're the one who needs to put down the remote and think about the peace you're enjoying right now. Make a note of it, or you know what don't even bother, I'm sure you'll be enjoying the same (or maybe more?) freedom/peace anyway when everyone is free to do whatever they please.

What would BTC be used for in Facebook?
Are you talking about sending someone a tip? Because they could just post their address in their profile.

If Twitch or some streaming services allowed you to make donations to a streamer in Bitcoin,
that might generate a lot of new users.

But for Facebook, I think most people want it to stay "free".
(Quotations are there because nothing is free. Facebook is selling your info to provide you with your service.)

Bitcoin directly can't make a dialog with facebook because nobody represent the bitcoin but how bitcoin can be there is through third party apps/service like Circle that has been integrated or will be integrated in the near future in the iMessage on Apple devices.

Nope, facebook can fuck right off. I absolutely despise that website, and personally it does nothing good for a person aside from maybe making it easier to organize events and find out who is going to be going to different things. Aside from that it is a useless time sink and it doesn't give you any benefits. No value added, nothing learned.

It does not need Bitcoin because all it will do is give away more of your information and privacy.

Facebook knows everything about your personal lives means that is through yourself, you are giving full rights to facebook to operate your details. That is why it is said that use facebook just for fun and dont disclose all your personal things on facebook or twitter as they dont have any high security to secure the users account. Even facebook itslef can disclose all your details if asked by any law authorized person. and in that if they are adding of integrating bitcoin address then it is highly risky to use facebook.

 That's quite a good point. I was all excited thinking : 'that might work.if a big one like facebook start accepting bitcoin,

 It'll be quite a big boost! It could even startoff other big companies into following suit with bitcoin adoption. We probably just need a single big one to start it off.

But then, yeah, if bitcoin is used on facebook, say goodbye to anonymity. All those personal data that can be found on a facebook profile. Well. I wouldnt want it giing out onto unkown person. A seperate fb account that is specifically used for bitcoi. Transactions might work though.
