Mark Zuckerberg and Bitcoin

[Welsh]

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

That's true, he did say we was going to create it for them, but he didn't copy their exact plans. The two men only had ideas, no designs etc. He couldn't of stole anything because them men actually didn't create anything except for a idea, which social networks already existed at that point. They said ONLY for their university. BUt, that's just limiting the social network.

Yet, Mark did take some of their ideas, but he turned them into so much more. The film "social network" actually explains this and Mark points out some very good points. One of them was that them two guys wouldn't even know how to do it, he's the one who created it.
In fact, them two guys did provide him with some code, yet Mark didn't even use ANY of their code. He used their general idea, but turned it into 'his' version.

Zuckerberg will support Ripple. 

Source?
Why should he support Ripple, when he can make his own "Fripple"?

In other news.

Alternative title...

A Fool and his Money soon parted.

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

This worries me, someone who has built the worlds largest repository of more than a billion people's thoughts, photos, address, phone numbers, friends, etc and actually could give two f**cks about user privacy, and was a part of the NSA PRIZM program (naturally) getting into btc will completely throw out what bitcoin is about.

No thanks Mark.

I remember someone mentioning that back in Facebook's early days Zuck was speaking to his cronies, and mentioned that "people who use Facebook are stupid" this was before the platform was opened to devs. Once the open graph and other FB APIs became available and I took a look at the massive amount of data you could use in your app I was a believer in the fact that he probably did make that comment.

Many of the people using Facebook have no idea the things us developers can access on them. Remember Mark is a nerd.

I don't follow your objection. Why don't you start the world's largest social network and base it on anonymity? Here's a freebie. Call it PoserBook.

Nowhere did I say I wanted to start a social network. What Mark has done is an achievement in of itself. But I think your missing the point of what I'm saying the mission statement of Facebook and what bitcoin stand for are not in alignment what so ever.

Since when is the mission of FB not about making billions? What better way to monetize everything than with Bitcoin?

So, any follow-up on Mark Z. and Bitcoins?
Haven't heard any further news...

[ElectricMucus]

There was no news. The whole thing was bullshit to begin with.

That's true. A lot of owners of BIG companies have been 'interested' in Bitcoin, but they usually don't opt in for it.
