I don't see this as a threat... Why would it be? P2P or not, we know that bitcoin is the real decentralised technology...

Take a look at this, UK gov is trying to make their country a global center for digital currency trade and fintech in general. They know how big of a potential bitcoin and the blockchain has when it comes to financial technology development.

Could facebook's User to User payment processor achieve any of this? Probably not.

Nice, love the bitcoin community, these guys are fast at creating these nice and clear looking pictures that put things into comparative. Excellent for noobs that may think this is "bitcoin by mark zuckerberg" so to speak.

Not a threat. Bitcoin has and always will hold it's own.

This is not a threat to Bitcoin at all, it's just a pathetic attempt made by the terrorist organization Federal Reserve to promote their scam USD.
The Facebook P2P payment system is the same as Apple Pay, they're just using a different name to promote their scam USD.

It's not a threat and it's not a scam, just another payment processor, the mobile payments market is getting bigger and it's not that surprising big giant tech companies like Facebook wanting to get a cut of this market.

The key thing is they are building the payment processing system complying with existing rules and regulations.

Yes, this is key point in this story.
Facebook P2P Payments is not A Threat to Bitcoin but it's obvious that FB choose to develop own payment system instead of choosing bitcoin.
Hope they will re consider this decision and later also accept BTC.

why would they implement bitcoin at the beginning?

Too few users for them even to consider, credit and debit cards are the obvious choices, although they can implement bitcoin in the future, when/if it is relevant to their userbase.

Same shit as always. The same ego fight of these morons just to not accept they've been deprecated and they must bow down to bitcoin and accept it. They always have to create "their own" thing even if its useless.

It'll offer them lots of lovely extra data mining possibilities. It'll be interesting to see how many people take it up. Paypal gets the job done for most already.

Not really a threat at all , Samsung Pay / Apple Pay or any other service can't match the power of Bitcoins and the security !
maybe in the future they will accept bitcoin but for the moment I don't think that.

With Bitcoin accepted Apps being allowed back into the store, I have a feeling that Apple Pay may have Bitcoin integrated into Apple Pay. If Apple integrates bitcoin, I can see Samsung tagging along. Roll Eyes

Snapchat has also integrated this.

the L.A.-based company announced that you could now send money to anyone on your contact list through its infamous app. Though the feature, named Snapcash, is slightly weird for a product that has made its name on disappearing content, it could be a helpful time-saver for power users.

It's definitely not a threat to bitcoin. Bitcoin won't be affected by this at All IMHO. However, if they were able to integrate bitcoin and fiat payments I can see bitcoin exploding very quickly as of addicted facebook users take a step into bitcoin.

I don't see this as an threat.
It's just another forevertaking money transfer (notice the 48-72 hours confirmation), i just don't get why they don't addopt bitcoin it would be mutch mutch easier.
Also i don't see any real use for it at all, except maybe some kiddos setting up little drug deals and paying directly from chat? (lul)
If you see some amazing benefits pls let me know.

This doesn't seem like big news. Speaking of this, what ever happened to the hyped Apple pay? It just disappeared.

Not a threat at all. it is still a centralized business that is processing payments from one CC/debit card to another via the standard clearing houses in the US. It even says in the article that the payments take 1-3 business days to complete haha. I don't know about you but in this day in age waiting 3 days for money to arrive sounds prehistoric.

Also this won't be able to enable all the bitcoin 2.0 like projects that will be coming out in the next 1-2 years.
