Mark Zuckerberg and Bitcoin

[Swapster]

BTC as the currency of choice on FB? That would be sweet.

I have waited to hear what Zuck thinks about Bitcoin. That is great!

He is a manchild and I bet his only interest in bitcoin is the fact that the Winklvoss twins 'own 1% of bitcoins.' Just like Jobs vs. Gates it has more to do with a pissing contest than any benefit to humanity.

Personally I don't think it's a good thing for that megalomaniac to have interest in it.

Just imagine:
Zuckerberg buidling a Facebook-based Ripple-network, using Bitcoin (no, not FB-coin, definitely not Facebook-coin...)

That will happen
Don't forget to bump this thread when it happens

I'm sorry, but I kinda doubt that anyone who opens their network to the CIA regularly and attends Bilderberg meetings is going to be good for Bitcoin.

Just sayin'.

if we focused on getting all nascar and NFL NBA fans to each buy 1 bitcoin...... The price of bitcoin wil do amazing thing, on top of add to its decentralized nature, as there will also be much more widespread circulation and adoption.

[kodo]

WOW bitcoins really starting to takeoff

[oakpacific]

The real problem is: if he is really gonna do something, why Hungary?

And no, it's naive to think that Zuck is stupid enough to spend millions just to screw the Winkleviis, or that he doesn't know that anything he can do will only have temporary effect on Bitcoin and if it backfires it will benefit the Winkleviis hugely.

Bits of Proof is based in Hungary. If one were to implement Bitcoin on a Facebook scale, they would want an enterprise level solution. Just a thought.

Mark Zuckerberg is a smart man.

Zuckerburg is a idea thief and a technology pirate so he should fit right in here.

Actually this is closer to the truth than you might imagine ... however he still has to demonstrate that he can handle his coins ....

... how good would that look ... "all Zuck's coins belongs to us" being posted up on pastebin?

Emmm... Are you speaking about Gavin?

I'd love to use my mined coins to directly fund my Farmville 2 account. The amount I can mine isn't significant enough to bother exchanging to fiat or spending on anything else, and Farmville 2 isn't significant enough to spend my fiat money on. Win-win.

[herzmeister]

He almost certainly wants to get an impression of the popularity of Bitcoin when he's asking random people about it.

Maybe he's been asked by the establishment what he can do against Bitcoin, that's why there is this meeting, so he will probably come up with something built into Facebook (much better than those Facebook Credits of course). That way he can also hurt his Winklevii arch rivals and kill two birds with one stone.

[shields]

I can't wait until he completes the ultimate troll on the Winklevii by revealing that he is in fact Satoshi and he has a hidden backdoor that resets their wallets to 0

He didn't steal anything, you can't steal the idea of a 'social network'. In fact myspace was already out, so if you really think Mark stole the idea of a social network, then them two guys stole it from myspace.

You can't steal something if it isn't already made, Facebook wasn't made. The whole concept of having the social network for the university wasn't made. Mark literally made it himself. Them guys wouldn't of been able to program the site, that's the reason they spoke to Mark in the first place.
Them guys had a IDEA, that's all.

I can't say I invented flying cars if I draw a picture and show you the proof. There have been many people who have thought of a idea, but couldn't make it. So someone else did. But they didn't steal it, because it didn't existence in the first place.

[farfiman]

Not exactly true... he was supposed to be making it with/for them.....
