Snapchat is 30 million users.

SnapCash includes a script that records your Full Name, Birth Date and SSN with every transaction.......Funny they forget to mention that in the video.....should have have a scene of police kicking in your door because of a suspicious transaction you made....

Is this shit even real?
Can they not see how this is going to fail.

That video was so corny :'(

or how it's going to succeed? stop being so delusional.

snapcash already has an established userbase of young people willing to take up new technologies, and it's easy to use unlike bitcoin

How is Bitcoin harder to use than snapcash?

1) The Myceilum wallet is easier to use than my banks app.

2) Circle app is self explanatory easy to use and insured against loss.(plus instant buy/sell)

3) Gyft app works great for using btc around town.

It's not that hard for new btc users anymore.....Any android smartphone user can quickly understand and start to buy/sell/spend in minutes.

1. snapcash is even easier to sign use - even teenagers already have accounts with snapchat. with snapcash all they need to do is link a debit card through square and that's that. you don't need to learn the vocabulary or concepts behind bitcoin.

2. you use $ in snapcash - no need to know the exchange rate, or have to buy any currency, or have to worry about fluctuations, or have to worry about merchants not accepting BTC

3. you can use a debit card in even more places around town

yes, you are right, bitcoin is getting easier to use, but the average user has no incentive to use it when they can just use regular money accepted everywhere. sure, they can get 3% or so off with gyft, but it is worth the hassle to your average joe?

snapcash seems like venmo - a easy way to transfer small amounts of money, except they already have a huge userbase. honestly a great decision from snapchat's part - i was honestly wondering how they'd monetize it (advertising doesn't really work since there's nothing to scroll through)

Clearly none of you saw the video in the original post.  Has anyone here been to a BBQ before?  Imagine some dude comes along and takes 9 out of 10 pieces on the grill?  What you gonna tell the dude?  Better come on back here and return those pieces of meat, asshole.

That's the BTC whales for you.  Sitting on all them BTC and doing nothing with it.  BTC could go viral if they spent a little money on promotion and quality videos.  This Snapcash video has gotten more views in weeks than Bitcoin videos have done in years.

Yeah, I watched it. It's a bunch of singing dancers, and at the end they show how sending money is as easy as sending a text message.

Why don't you fork out your own money on "promotion and quality videos"? Do you expect "whales" to do it just because they have more money than you?

And Snapchat is one of the most popular social applications in the world. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency used by nerds and people who think the banking system is going to crash tomorrow. What did you expect?

I'm honestly amazed WaPo even let you publish an article. I guess it's a good thing it only consisted of photos and 1 sentence captions lol.
