Unlikely. Currently the trend is creating a fake centralised currency which actually isn't even a currency at all since you can't exchange it with other people; i.e. a credits system which trick the users into thinking it's a currency instead. And Facebook already has credits (at least they don't pretend they are something else, AFAIK). I guess it will be something else, completely unrelated.

What fake currency are you talking about? it sounds like you know something we may not. Tell us! Unlikely.

Facebook will not be incorporating bitcoin into any payment gateways at this point due to the unreliable US dollar. If it didn't jump so fast it would be looked at.
Can't provide source, but can say they are within facebook.

Guess he's talking about this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Creditsinteresting read. Seems like Facebook is discontinuing the facebook credit idea and will refund all users in FIAT. FinCen according to this wiki compares Facebook Credits to Bitcoin, in term of regulation at least..

At least Facebook Credits were honest and didn't pretend they were a currency. I'm talking about Amazon Coins instead, which are marketed as a currency when they clearly aren't (i.e. they are just "credits"). The difference between a currency and credits is that a currency may be exchanged between different users, while credits always go through the issuer.

I could totally see Facebook creating FaceBookCoin in the same streak as other "coins" like Apple iMoney and AmazonCoin, neither of which are cryptocurrencies but centralized web-coupon garbage not unlike web currencies of the 2000s .com implosion.
But, I would still hold hope Zuckerberg sees the light and actually pushes to accept the real deal as payment for ad services and such.

facebook is fast becoming totally irrelevant to anyone under 20...I've seen my teenage son and daughter and all their friends completely dropping off facebook in the past year...I know this is the end for them. They have a few short years left but will eventually be another myspace trying too hard for an audience that is no longer interested.
I also can't see them ever making a move to something like this that they cannot completely control.
