What Bitcoin Can Learn from Social Media's Success

http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-can-learn-social-medias-success/


Some bitcoin entrepreneurs are already looking to harness social media to do just that, with QuickCoin and another startup called ZapChain being the most notable examples. The intention of ZapChain is to educate and thus grow bitcoin awareness, according to its CEO Matt Schlicht.

“Social media is the best way for information to spread across the Internet and the world. Period. If used correctly, social media has the ability to drastically increase bitcoin's rate of adoption.”

It is new idea. Probably we can apply the experience of the Social Media's Success into bitcoin. Le's see how the Facebook-connected bitcoin wallet QuickCoin is going.

If you a true Bitcoiner, you would piss on this idea.

If you want your identity linked to your money, go use a debit or credit card. Whoever is watching your transactions, will know exactly what you bought, where you bought it, and how frequently you are buying it. {Perfect information to spam you with marketing crap}

Bitcoin gave us the opportunity, to have some level of privacy, on the same level as fiat. {Only difference being that Bitcoins are global and digital}

Fiat is linked to ATM's {So if you draw money in Italy, Big Brother will know} With Bitcoin, you can buy whatever you want, anywhere in the world, without people knowing your spending habits.

You want to give up that freedom? {Good luck explaining to your wife, why you getting Sms ad's from the local adult shops}

Can't tell if you are trolling or if you are merely "no true Scotsman-ing" here.

Bitcoin is a tool and can be used however one wishes.
