Bitcoin will be bigger than Facebook

[pequelore]

Facebook sucks cock. Of course bitcoin will be bigger than Facefuck.

When bitcoin exceeds facebook's market cap bitcoin will be 10K+ per coin.

LOL so you think Satoshi Nakamoto is richer than Mark Zuckerberg?

You mean by popularity? Well, who knows maybe in  afew years when bitcoin is widely spread and accepted by everyone. But bigger than Facebook? Those can't be really compared. Still I hope that in a few years, bitcoin will be widely accepted as a secure and fast mean of payment.

It won't happen and it will never happen. Ever.

Seriously....Probably will never happen.  Facebook has roughly 1.28 Billion users.  The internet has roughly 2.6 billion users.  Means about 50% of the internet has facebook and uses it.  I am guessing Bitcoin doesn't even come close to that.  If we could hit 20% of the global internet users I think that would be huge, 50% is way out of the question.

I think comparing bitcoin to facebook is kind of like comparing apples to oranges. Bitcoin is a P2P "currency" while Facebook is a social network. The uses of the two platforms are just too different

Actually facebook is a website.

That's right! When they speak about bigger do they mean value, adoption-wise or what?

How about all.
In value one is big other is huge.
Adoption will be key. If and I hope that i will happen that FB accept btc then there is now end.
Price will be big, people will even more accept cryptos and there will no more argue what is bigger cuz both will be huge.

It wont happen and it will not happen.

In time Bitcoin could reach a much larger percentage of the internet, Bitcoin is very young.  If it hits 20% all of the posters here would be very rich.

Really? Even those with next to nothing in bitcoins? With that being said, I don't see why it's impossible that we couldn't hit 20% of internet users eventually. If you use the internet there's no reason why you can't use btc.

Could we make a decentralised 'social media' with a new protocol, based on what we learned from the bitcoin?

- A new basic protocol for messaging and commenting on content(or an old one in a new jacket, like jabber)
- Content not on a central location, but on a diverse set of different cloud or local storage sollutions?
- Revenue of the big datapool would roll back to the owner of the data(in bitcoins ofcourse!) and not to a facebook ceo

the chain would connect all things, transfer messages and bits and bytes.. you choose your own frontend, facebook could facilitate this, or any other party, like hootsuite. Instead of fixing your social media to a single entity like google+, facebook, twitter and the likes, you just share what you want on the social chain, keep contact with other social chainers.

just a bit like the internet, but more structured

I don't think so.
In fact, you can't compare Bitcoin and FB.
FB is social network, Bitcoin is crypto currency.
I think that eventually FB will accept bitcoin as another payment option, and this will be added value to their service.

There is no comparison between social media and cryptocurrency.

How can you compare a social media website with virtual currency?

I think bitcoin or cryptocurrency will skyrocket facebook 10 folds.

Feels like BTC has stalled...

[Peegasus]

It will never be bigger than facebook. Never be bigger than paypal. Never be bigger than ebay.

[cbeast]

I wonder how much electricity is wasted on Facebook?

[azguard]

It will never be bigger than facebook. Never be bigger than paypal. Never be bigger than ebay.

Cryptos are future.
So it doesnt need to bee big or bigger.
Popularity is the same.

Why are you here then?
