[Pab]

Surprising news

Maybe just issue for making bitcoin investor panic with moment where many created with new own crypto like facebook and whatshap, I think they are only giving bad news and never make it come true for several year later.

[AjithBtc]

That's a step ahead in the crypto wallet that we use at the moment. Bitcoin getting integrated will take time, this seems to get developed on the same platform as whatsapp. With this app into usage more common people too might begin using bitcoin, but how realistic this gonna grab the market is still unknown as it serves same as an exchange.

[Indrawan77]

Well it's great to see such a big company want to adopt bitcoin and surely it could bring a positive impact to crypto, but I wonder what would happen to the countries that banned bitcoin, it sure going to be a big challenge, but hopefully this news is true so we are more and more toward mass adoption

[Kakmakr]

Ah, this will be a good move because WhatsApp now has 1.5 billion users and sees 60 billion messages sent per day. <Downside is that WhatsApp is owned by Facebook and they will dox a lot of Bitcoin users, when they link their bitcoin use to this wallet. 

The Social media online payment networks are becoming very popular lately, so a WhatsApp payment option would be a good push for Bitcoin, if the wallet service can guarantee good security and support. 

[alisafidel58]

This is certainly a piece of great news. Another mainstream adaptation for bitcoin. Will this have an effect on Facebook stable coin once they release their own coin?

[blockman]

They should reinvent the command of sending and just use the traditional way of inputing the receivers bitcoin address instead of putting a command of 'send to'.

Overall, the news is good but yeah this;

Downside is that WhatsApp is owned by Facebook

Meaning, facebook is sure to adopt crypto.

[Bitinity]

Lets see how it goes, at least it is a good news for now but we do not know how it works or how it will give some effects to bitcoin in general. Cant wait to see the public beta and hopefully can participate on it once the beta phase come.

[shield132]

There isn't any talk about security, I think users must be limited in sending and there must be pin/sms verification on sends over 50$ or something similar.
On another hand they could also work on not any 3rd party wallet but on already integrated wallets, for example I mean samsung which plans to produce smartphones with built in bitcoin wallet. If they want to use Wuabit, I think users must have option to use another, already integrated wallet.

This almost sounds to good to be true

If they partner up with Facebook & Co. and create a nice hype, this could actually lead to new money flowing into the market.
Though, they need to prove their achievements first - this is only rumors; buy it, and sell the news later! 

[wongdeso]

We see about Wuabit, one of the most important things is security, everyone is sure to question this. Whatsapp does look easy and simple and this is a big challenge in technology.

[TheCoinGrabber]

Guess the Zucc is trying to cover all bases. Facebook coin on FB, Bitcoins on WhatsApp.

Either way, that's more options for people. I don't see any problems with this, so long as people ensure not to link their personal btc addresses to these apps.

It's already owned by Facebook IIRC.

[marcelocoin]

OMG!!! very good to know this, I imagine in the future using these apps for payments of bills, transfers everything by the smartphone, now with more features like sending whats, incredible!

[mangsitin]

I think this is a very good progress from Cryptocurrency, because there are many who want to adopt Bitcoin, for example this news, so for me it is a good thing for the progress of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrency.

They don't want to be left behind by the rise of cryptocurrency wave. Actually, I was expecting them to be the frontrunner of this crypto revolution as they encompass a big market already. But then, new crypto users should know how to handle the security of their accounts, else, there will be stealing of funds, left and right. But of course, this is still good news for old crypto users. This might expand the usage of crypto faster and eventually contributing to the steady increase of bitcoin's price.

Oh, my bad. Thanks for the clarification!

I am tired of reading mainstream news.
I really don't think that this is going to benefit us at all. It will just be a mainstream move in order to impress the users that use WhatsApp.
Using Telegram is safer than using Whatapp and I will keep using it.

[aad140386]

They wanted to do something similar in a telegramm, but so far around GRAM there is a lot of hyip, but the product has not been released. Although almost a year announced a fantastic ICO. How many applications for participation were received, but so far the project has not been released, and there is no news about the project implementation. I do not know if whatsapp will succeed in creating the really necessary product that people will use. So far we have heard a lot of statements from various projects, but we don’t see the realization of ideas. Only promises to realize them. Everyone has become accustomed to this.

[asyakashi]

Cool ...
I can't wait to enjoy this service.
I think this is a good innovation, and I'm sure everyone will know about crypto. I hope this news can increase demand for crypto / bitcoin.
