Bitcoin on Facebook

I guess that Facebook would opt for using regular FIAT currencies - at least at the moment! I'd also be all for using Bitcoin there, but we have to remain realistic and it just is easier for the regular person to use a currency they're used to. They, sadly, don't care for all the advantages Bitcoin brings!

The problem with that is fiat currencies are good at the national level, while bitcoin is global. A person sitting in China might not want to send dollars/euros to another person sitting in China. Bitcoin, however, knows no international boundaries.

hope facebook add bitcoin

Currency exchange would be a difficult task for facebook.

It's a social network for people to make friends, meet new people and currency exchange is a different thing and brings disputes with it.

I completely agree !!! you said it all

Has Mark Zuckerberg ever commented on Bitcoin before?

It seems strange to me I have never heard him publicly comment one way or another. He must be aware of Bitcoin right?

Any instance of bitcoin inside of facebook would likely not involve any kind of currency exchange. A more likely application would be that facebook accept bitcoin for payment for "upgrades" in the various games that can be played on it's game platform (like candycrush, farmville, ect). They also may potentially accept bitcoin for payment for their ads as well.

I would personally doubt we would even see the ability to send bitcoin to anyone on your friend list as this would create even more of an incentive for people to try to hack facebook accounts (and it isn't like facebook doesn't get enough of it's accounts hacked as it is now)

For a long time I wonder why Facebook is the mass of games and other applications, but there is no application to exchange Bitcoin. What stands in the way to create something like this?

Just give it some time and you will see that there will be an option to buy credits with btc. Cheesy

I'm also waiting for that myself Cheesy

I don't think facebook will add bitcoin exchange apps, but create a game with btc as one of payment methods to buy tokens is possible.

yeah thats the only possible way i could think of

Says he spoke about it in Hungary, but when you go to that link it is just some guy mentioning that Zuckerberg said Bitcoin in the translation.

So what did he say about Bitcoin?

So far, Bitcoins had little to do with Facebook

It sounds great. The blossom of Bitcoin applications would get people understood btc better.

Bitcoi adoption will be much faster if they use the social media networking sites like fb and twitter.

Good idea to make bitcoin application via Facebook

this may appear in another format somedayBTC

there are some games where you can earn free credit by signing up few bitcoin exchanges such as Xapo. But no game with direct BTC payment.

I don't think that its a good idea to mix the bitcoin and facebook.

Noone's noticed that changetip works on facebook yet?

Edit: Hmm. It did work for a while. I tipped friends. Now it appears to be gone again. Lol.

Buying and selling from your friends on Facebook would be one of the best ways to have trusted transactions. It makes it easier to pay via PayPal or bank transfer with a lower chance that the person will do a reverse on the payment. If they do, you can call them out on their wall in front of their friends and family.
