Facebook accepts Bitcoin?

[zedicus]

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.

It isn't so much that facebook "accepted" instagram and whatsapp but they rather bought them out.

It is already possible to pay for things via bitcoin on facebook and IMO it is only a matter of time that facebook will start to accept bitcoin for payment for ads and likely credits. Also since it is possible to purchase many gift cards on this forum, I would not be surprised to start to see trading of facebook credits on the marketplace sometime in the future.

I do not believe in it, i doubt if facebook are accepting bitcoins.

Why not, sooner or later bitcoin will became the world currency, facebook will adopt it for sure

Facebook credits will slowly fade away. Merchants might decided to by pass payment system and accept and deal using bitcoin directly.

I think this has been said, but no, facebook does not directly accept it but there are some apps I think that have some bitcoin functionality.

AFAIK facebook has rules against this. The most common use for facebook credits is for in-game purchases, and maybe for advertising (although I am not 100% sure on this). AFAIK if someone wants to sell something "inside" facebook, then they need to use facebook credits; if they want to use some other payment method then they can use their own website to sell their product on.

Some do but Bitcoin is not really used on Facebook; it may be when they will think they can profit from it

Probably not as if anything is going to be purchased on the FB site it will be purchased using FB credits. Facebook will not allow otherwise. The only way around this restriction is to direct users to some third party site to buy whatever they are going to buy however this would decrease to some effect the level of legitimacy of the purchase.

Hmmm. Is this for like buying FB Ads or something? I can't think of anything I need to buy on facebook.

[DurbanPoison]

I just don't see it happening personally. I can see them coming out with their own shitty crypto called facecoin or something equally stupid.

Unless facebook were to change their current policy this would really not be possible. AFAIK all "in-site" purchases must be done with facebook credits. This is very similar to how all "in-app" purchases must be done via the iTunes app store for apps on iPhones, iPads and iPods. I could see facebook potentially accepting BTC for payment for facebook credits in the future, but I would doubt that they would allow users to buy things with BTC directly.

Bitcoin is more considered as an asset rather than a currency,so there are low chances Facebook would be accepting bitcoin as an payment option

1) That hasn't stopped other companies
2) It is not more an asset than a currency anyway

[waterpile]

it is just a rumour, I doubt that FB will accept BTC anyways.

All the good news start with a worthless rumour, but they eventually will became reality.

[routecrypto]

Sooner or later facebook will accept bitcoins and maybe also other cryptocoins like NXT or DOGE.

maybe donations to make the site better? what wikipedia is doing with their donation?

Off platform transaction occur on ebay and amazon all the times.

The only issue is trust. For facebook store with reputation, they can easily convince buyer to send payment first before shipping items.

I do not know, maybe not now but if it happens I will support
maybe if facebook accept bitcoin, it would make bitcoin prices rise

Probaby some day and I don't think it would be that far.
