Are bitcoiners regular at Facebook ?

[SpaceSuite]

I can see the FB groups related to Bitcoin are not so Big. Probably none has 1M members. Is it the fact that Bitcoiners are opposed to FB ?

Yes, there is a significant part of the Bitcoin community that is against FB. Reason is that they are above-average intelligent and value privacy.

You will never see me joining the Zuckerberg empire.

ya.ya.yo!

In his book of 1844 "The Duality of the Mind" Arthur Wigan catalogued several cases he had come across whereby individuals who had remained apparently unremarkable in life were found at post mortem to have had one cerebral hemisphere destroyed by disease.
Over a period of twenty years he collected many such instances, concluding that each hemisphere on its own could support consciousness.

    Why do I mention it ?
 
  Because, to a man, they all fuckin loved Facebook

YaMan got it covered....
Needless to say anything else!

Yes, it's true that Bitcoin users don't like Facebook very much because of his privacy issues and several other reasons.
Moreover, consider that WhatsApp too ( which, as you already know, is property of Zuckerberg) is  not widely used by Bitcoiners... most of us prefer Telegram or Kontalk as instant-messaging mobile apps.

There are some people on facebook and also into bitcoins but they don't talk much about it there.

If you are not offered anything to buy then you must be the merchendise!

So, u mean, everyone joining FB are merchandise ?

Precisely blyat, your information is being sold, that's how facebook turns a profit

Have never been on Facebook and probably never will, i value my privacy too much.

[Billbags]

I have also NEVER been on Facebook. I also value my privacy and am not driven by "group mentality" irrational social protocols.

Guys? Why? You are missing half you life if you do not have facebook. So im guessing that you do not have any friends too?

If you leave Facebook and all your friends abandon you for it then you have no friends.

Just for the record: I've never used Facebook.

[Q7]

Most bitcoiners like myself are so used to the word anonymity and so facebook kind of doesn't fit into that

[Soros Shorts]

Koobface? Yeah, I have an account. I don't like to reveal too much on it, though. Certainly not my affiliations and hobbies. I use it primarily to locate old friends.

[Aemon]

Why are people so against Facebook?  They aren't the only group/people that want your information.

If you hate Facebook you must also hate:

Google
Apple
Microsoft

Which means you probably don't use a computer at all either right?

[bitnanigans]

Bitcoiners are very particular about privacy, so I doubt that a lot actually use Facebook.

I'm not as particular about privacy, but I barely even use Facebook myself. Just to keep in touch with friends that I don't live close to or see every day.

I would say Bitcoiners "think" they are careful about privacy.  If you use Google, Apple, or Microsoft you don't care too much about your privacy.

Guess what, these companies are not very popular among Bitcoiners either. (I'd order it in descending popularity: Google, Microsoft, Apple.)

However the big difference between FB and these companies is that FB is a single service which only purpose is to share (pointless) information, while the other companies offer a variety of products and services. All value of FB derives from information about its users - that's not true for Google, Microsoft, or Apple. So collecting these data is an integral part of FB.

You can still use products from Google, Microsoft, or Apple and safeguard your privacy if you take the appropriate precautions. Trying to do that for FB makes using their "service" pretty absurd.

Of course you can still use a computer without ever being involved with these companies... but that seems to be beyond your imagination...

ya.ya.yo!
