[lamcouz]

[mast3rm1nd]

Mark Zuckerberg is CEO of facebook.if he comes into crypto world,it will be more popular and bitcoin users will increase.

[Andrewsito]

it's really very exciting to hear this news. because if such an important company, in terms of size and social relevance as FACEBOOK, were to take part in the cryptocurrency market, as that would be a new high point for this market and all its participants.

And here's what other top investors think

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook will be looking into cryptocurrency in the new year.

"There are important counter-trends to this — encryption and cryptocurrency — that take power from centralized systems and put it back into people's hands," Zuckerberg wrote in his 2018 mission statement, issued on Thursday. "But they come with the risk of being harder to control. I'm interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies, and how best to use them in our services."

I really support if facebook receive bitcoin.
if facebook accepts bitcoin then it will support higher bitcoin prices.
other than that facebook company will get many advantages if working with bitcoin.

[deejayce48]

Yes. That is true. I've seen it on my newsfeed on facebook. Well, a tech expert like Mark Zuckerberg should definitely take to consider entering blockchain technology because blockchain is a very powerful technology that man has ever made as of now.

It would be nice if Mark Zuckerberg interested in cryptocurrency. As the CEO of one of the largest social media in the world, he can spreading about cryptocurrency through his platform and affecting more people. This could help increasing bitcoin's price. But still "looking into" right?

Facebook will be looking into cryptocurrencycurrency is BIG news IN MY OPINION, like imagine it’s a massive company with like a billion users at this point the outreach is going to be insane

yes this is proven cryptocurrency very safe and convenient for all types of transactions and payments in cyberspace, hopefully with this facebook founder can trigger the rise in price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

Kinda late to start researching crypto. With his capital he could have done this a lot sooner to see the pros and cons with crypto.

Kinda late to start yeah but that’s what he’s said officially who knows if he invested his own money before? Not mention he has a ton of cash anyway, he doesn’t care I guess

It could be a big development in the crypto world having Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to come in. I think Mark can make other cryptocurrency that are sleeping for long time to make a big pump by giving a good review of a certain coin like what Mcaffe did for some alt coin. He can certainly influence people for investing on crypto currency.

why, there r shitcoins everyday what's one more. Faceburg, with all its users would prob be a success. He may look into quantum protection

[SUJI777]

thats really a great news,hope he invests a lot into bitcoins following a PUMP.

[Md Saad]

Yeah, I read a news where they mentioned that Mark Zuckerberg is interested in reading about cryptocurrency, Basically, he is becoming a fan of this platform day by day. that's why he is going to review this rising issue. Hopefully, he will join on this platform very soon.
for me, that's a very important news for this platform and people will get noticed when Mark Zuckerberg will give any statement on his Facebook wall. that will be a blessing for this platform for getting accepted to the mass people.

[rog1121]

This is actually huge news. It sounds like he is trying to use decentralization for Facebook. "Giving people the power", as he says. It's interesting to see what comes to light based on his dedication to researching encryption.

As far as cryptocurrency? Allowing Bitcoin to be used to pay for ads will be a game changer. A GAME CHANGER.

I'm anxious to see what comes of this.

And for reference, here's a link and quote to his personal mission statement for 2018, as found on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10104380170714571

Every year I take on a personal challenge to learn something new. I've visited every US state, run 365 miles, built an AI for my home, read 25 books, and learned Mandarin.

I started doing these challenges in 2009. That first year the economy was in a deep recession and Facebook was not yet profitable. We needed to get serious about making sure Facebook had a sustainable business model. It was a serious year, and I wore a tie every day as a reminder.

Today feels a lot like that first year. The world feels anxious and divided, and Facebook has a lot of work to do -- whether it's protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent.

My personal challenge for 2018 is to focus on fixing these important issues. We won't prevent all mistakes or abuse, but we currently make too many errors enforcing our policies and preventing misuse of our tools. If we're successful this year then we'll end 2018 on a much better trajectory.

This may not seem like a personal challenge on its face, but I think I'll learn more by focusing intensely on these issues than I would by doing something completely separate. These issues touch on questions of history, civics, political philosophy, media, government, and of course technology. I'm looking forward to bringing groups of experts together to discuss and help work through these topics.

For example, one of the most interesting questions in technology right now is about centralization vs decentralization. A lot of us got into technology because we believe it can be a decentralizing force that puts more power in people's hands. (The first four words of Facebook's mission have always been "give people the power".) Back in the 1990s and 2000s, most people believed technology would be a decentralizing force.

But today, many people have lost faith in that promise. With the rise of a small number of big tech companies — and governments using technology to watch their citizens — many people now believe technology only centralizes power rather than decentralizes it.

There are important counter-trends to this --like encryption and cryptocurrency -- that take power from centralized systems and put it back into people's hands. But they come with the risk of being harder to control. I'm interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies, and how best to use them in our services.

This will be a serious year of self-improvement and I'm looking forward to learning from working to fix our issues together.

Giving people the power was what he said before too for the freedom.org nonsense he pulled of before too but we all know how that ended up and how it failed well

for sure mark z will soon decided to put bitcoin on his platform which is facebook because bitcoin is indeed popular nowadays especially in most netizens that is using an internet as part of their daily lives. however some major platforms out there like microsoft and steam has decided to pullout facebook in their service because of the increase fees and slow network lately that bitcoin has experienced and they rather switch on to something fast and cheap like litecoin and for sure this can also happen to facebook if mark z has decided or insist to partner with bitcoin.

Many big companies are now looking for cyrptocurrency and planning to make their own token, I see this as a big success for cryptocommunity since many people are now planning to adopt it. Facebook is a big community and I do hope that this thing will happen soon and I hope bitcoin will remain on top and keep on soaring high.

[btcCoincart]

Hope they will choose indahash. iDH is the most suitable crypto currency for them this time

Upon reading this it seems that Mark Zuckerberg is interested in cryptocurrency but he needs to be sure that everyone will embrace and the negative impact is much lesser. I think he wants to create a coin that will compete Bitcoin and other altcoins. I am also thinking that he will also try to study blockchain technology.
