I would love to be able to spend my bitcoins on facebook ads. Promotion is always needed for growth of my business.
The potential for bitcoin is not spending ad dollars in bitcoin to facebook but rather allowing users of facebook to give money to their friends (maybe for paying them back for dinner or a short term loan between friends) People can pay each other bitcoins without facebook. The benefits is ad money and allowing users to spend bitcoins in the facebook games. Facebook games is a great example of how using bitcoin for micropayments can make bitcoin successful a great game that is much-loved in the entire state (CS) already using one crypto for payment,.

I don't think facebook will directly accept soon (at least not within the next two years), but many apps could be developed within facebook. Seems like the logical step until facebook integrates it themselves.

Facebook accepting bitcoins, is maybe the last piece of the puzzle the BTC community needs. A company which has approximately a billion users, will definitely tip the scale towards BTC.
but, at the same time, if facebook instead launches facebookcoin, i would not trust it. as facebook might have a strong(and unfair) lead on the currency.

You may borrow .02 BTC from your friend for dinner but not see them again for several weeks. This would almost make facebook a central authority of where bitcoins are held. It would also make you vulnerable to hacks as if your facebook was hacked then the hacker could steal all of your coins.

exactly once. all the processes needed for facebook can accept bitcoin. however, I believe to see the development of bitcoin like this then facebook will consider this.

This could be great for Facebook but if they did implement this and it was used the same way as cash is used now on Facebook you hold the coins on your account it would more than likely make either Facebook or Facebook accounts vulnerable to attack. Facebook would need to find some way to be a lot more safer that what it probably is now if they did consider accepting bitcoins. I don't see bitcoins being accepted by Facebook any time soon with these problems being a main focus.

I wonder if Facebook is trying to somewhat buy Bitcoin as in the brand? They bought Oculus Rift and these guys seem like they have no limits on their ambition. They have shitloads of money and im sure they are looking into Bitcoin as we speak.

It would be a negative for facebook credit. They may try to make facebook credit more popular, rather than integrating bitcoin.

Yes they are definitely taking a closer look at bitcoins but I think they are planning to launch their own cryptocurrency to substitute the facebook credits.

To remain competitive, facebook will cave in the way apple did.

They spend a great deal of money buying out competitions so far (instant gram, whatsapp). But this method of eliminatating competitors come at high cost.

I think it would make little sense for facebook to substitute a "facebook coin" for their facebook credits. The reason why you or I do not want to have a central authority controlling and keeping track of the amount of money each person has is because we do not want to have to trust this 3rd party central authority. Facebook credits on the other hand are controlled by facebook. In other words they are the central authority that controls and keeps track of the balances of facebook credits. They obviously trust themselves to keep track of these balances properly just like you or I trust ourselves to keep our private keys safe.

True but becoming the one all location for everyone to meet at means that they can advertise the heck out of it and hold a market advantage over their competition. Until another upstart comes up to supersede them in one of those areas.

There is no guarantee facebook is thinking about accepting bitcoin. They already accepted whatsapp and instagram. Right now, it seems like Facebook is getting ready for another new technology by accepting bitcoin. The company is ready to provide financial services and electronic money.
