Facebook starts testing Bitcoin payments on their Advertising Platform - BTC 1k!

Zynga, Netflix then Facebook, are these things for real?
I start to doubt, good ol photoshop

I just posted what I seen, trying to help out... ;/

So 2 pages and no one points out there is not one credible source backing this up?

This could be a scam, ie, photoshop.  No one has verified this.  On the other hand this is just in the testing phase and not an actual press release from FB.  Anyone on these boards have a business in Netherlands?  Open up a business account via FB, it's free, and try to start and ad and pay for it, see if its an option. 

As much as Zuckerberg hates the W Twins, I didn't see this coming, but who knows...

Even if it was a testing phase there should be some kind of announcement, if not in the press at least in Facebook developer's forum or at least in the advertisment payment options: https://www.facebook.com/help/203680236341574

There's not even one result in their site about bitcoin: https://www.facebook.com/help/search/?query=bitcoin
I'd say this announcement is totally fake, maybe someone needs to sell badly..

Either folks at FB are worse in CSS than me in MS Paint, or this is fake:

I do not know what's so spectacular, because Facebook and Zynga also receive USD and each credit card payment.

Being able to accept payments in BTC, whether or not you can also accept credit card payments, helps make Bitcoin more mainstream.

The more mainstream Bitcoin becomes, the more valuable it should be.

i agree with frost000

it is a little bit early for these big companies to fully support it
testing phase first, adoption next

Read the thread (title should be changed), it's almost certain that the announcement is fake.

[e521]

I am not sure if this is true or not but it could be.
Zynga is testing it and most of their userbase is facebook.
If it's true that Zynga pays about 9% on fees I can see a similar situation for facebook.

[BitcoinCharlie]

Awesome news, if true! 

[BitcoinSteve]

Dont hate the messenger, Just trying to pass on what I found ;(

[gangplank]

Usually I would call bullshit but because I've had some experience with AM and Facebook ads, knowing how close Zynga and FB were at one time, this actually makes sense as a lot of AM's have been moving into the bitcoin space during the last quarter of 2013.

Keep bumping this post.

The thing is fake.

[BittBurger]

Finally some good news.

I encourage you to daily search google news for "bitcoin".
The number of good news articles coming out daily is staggering.  Bitcoin is booming around the world right now.
If this website is your only source of information, i encourage you to use Google news.

[Borbolon]

Most articles in Google News are repeated, but anyway, if there's any positive news about bitcoin you'll find that someone already posted it in this forum (more than once usualy)..  

[jcoin200]

Do these sites even technically need to accept btc? Couldn't they just use a payment processor who takes the btc payment and converts it to usd for the company? I don't see why companies can't do that and sort of indirectly accept bitcoin.

This is great news to us.
