Yes, I hope this can increase the price of Bitcoin in the future, because I see this year there are many large companies that will come to join the Blockchain, on the other hand now the price of Bitcoin is decreasing so the presence of large companies that will use Blockchain is expected to be more many investors will buy Bitcoin.

Which company do you mean? The use of blockchain technology will not have an effect on the increase in the price of bitcoin. it is part of a different technological discovery and different benefits.

although it does not have an impact on the increase in the price of bitcoin but I think with the existence of good issues like this will be able to increase more people who invest in bitcoin and the blockchain technology that will be brought in will be followed by other companies.
as we know that bitcoin and blockchain technology are both interrelated and can't be separated, because bitcoin runs in its own blockchain technology and any company that uses its technology inevitably must also carry bitcoin into it according to its function.

Wuabit is a cryptocurrency wallet accessible via a chat interface in WhatsApp. The developers describe it as 'software agent' powered by specialised AI. Users simply type in commands like 'send 0.05BTC to Vera' and Wuabit will send the cash. By using a service as popular as WhatsApp, Wuabit hope to propel crypto payments further into the mainstream.

“We are near completing the wallet core service starting with BTC.

“By using WhatsApp/SMS/Telegram you can access that wallet easily.

The public beta is due to start next month.

Access your wallet from whatsapp? How about, i don't know, using a proper wallet instead? All i see here is adding more vectors for thieves to get your funds. So this is a type of online wallet but rather than using a browser you use an IM client... Hmm no thanks. And don't get me started on SMS.

If Bitcoin transaction was been getting involved to WhatsApp and some other payment methods in social sites it will be definitely accepted by the people very easily because a lots of new payment method will be helpful for the people to accept the payment method in recent times so definitely it will helpful for easy payment methods.

Good way of using crypto, tho it is still bad when it comes to urgent transactions since there is still a huge problem when it comes to transactions and paying so much fees are not too good in any type of business.

If people think they will be able to hide BITCOIN transactions by using WhatsApp, they are very mistaken.
Just the other night I saw a company , cant recall the name, that sells technology to govs for spying abilities.
There really is no such thing as encrypted phone conversations. The gov will track your messages/transactions if they really want to.

Lol of course you can't hide bitcoin transactions on whatsapp. you can however used dummy accounts and still be able to hide your identity

it will be an easy and effective method of sending money. hopefully sms, skype, telegram, and whatsapp, commonly used for coin transfers. I believe that, gradually, the entire world will switch to cryptocurrencies. ''let's see if our dreams will come true''

of course this is an effective promotion in my opinion, by providing these facilities on WhatsApp. people will know the effectiveness of sending money for various transactions, and finally use it

ya i also read the news it is good for crypto space that a giant app like whatsapp is introducing crypto wallet functionality but we already seen it in past in some project such as byteball where it has similar chat coin transfer feature but i think it will be good if they built a separate payment architecture just for payment just to ensure further security.

With this, I still doubt the security, the messaging application is still a lot of bugs and this can be a problem in the future, let alone Whatsapp. I think I might keep the Private Key away from this application. As long as i still comfortable to use MyEtherWallet to access my balance, i think thats fine

Wuabit is an independent crypto-startup, non affiliated/connected with WhatsApp Inc in whatsoever manner despite its business API integration

Quote

Spain-based independent startup Wuabit aims to launch limited public beta of its crypto wallet for popular messaging app WhatsApp in April, the company’s co-founder and CEO/CTO Manuel Polo told Cryptonews.com.

Moreover, in mid-April, the startup will announce its roadmap in more detail as it plans to offer the same service to the users of other messaging apps such as Telegram and Facebook Messenger. Also, Wuabit aims to support sending and receiving cryptocurrencies through SMS.

Quote

Still, Facebook, owner of Whatsapp, and Telegram may not even be aware of this new service that is coming. “We have no talks with [them], only using their API [application programming interface] integrations available now,” Polo explained. This is similar to users building apps for the Android operating system - there is no need to contact the phone manufacturer or anyone else for permission, and the app is not necessarily endorsed by the platform it appears on.

Oh god, it's a damn start-up that plans on piggybacking on WhatsApp infrastructure without their consent.
How long do you think it will take before lawsuits start flying and they are shut down?

even if this project run I am sure this service will not be available worldwide. because crypto services or digital transactions in some countries clearly prohibit (banned) cryptocurrency in various forms. WA messaging have been known for free with no ads services. if there is a crypto service in WA service is that not a contradiction. in this case am sure this service is just looking for popularity is not really true working on this platform.

I really don't like this cause I feel it will have more negative effects than the positive effect. If something like this will every be created, then more security features should be added on Whatsapp but since it's owned by Facebook and the decision on implementing Bitcoin. I don't think the security issue may be fix. Locking your Whatsapp app with app locks is not full security feature.

Yes right, Bitcoin users certainly have to maintain their valuable assets, so that application companies that adopt Bitcoin must have good security features, so that there is no hacking or bad things about user assets.

When you are under to every centralized system there's no full security for you here it's just they are the ones that are capable of making securing you from anyone. But on the other hand, if their security system is not that strong then your personal details may be in danger situation because it might fall to the wrong hand and could use your personal info against you.

Good news for bitcoin. More and more uses of bitcoin are now coming, its just a matter of time for bitcoin to have another kick again. Little by little it is having roots and it will not be easy to uproot bitcoin then besides, whatsapp is a known friendly and widely used application so it will be easy for beginners to get used to it.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.

Aren't Facebook and whatapp sharing the upcoming Facebook coin on their platforms?

Sounds a bit like Telegram Pajar. That of Telegram is capable of multiple-coins transactions and tipping within Telegram.

That's what Whatsapp users don't want they have to lock their apps because otherwise this can be dangerous for their assets, but if this will add more features it will be better too.

This is the way that the world is moving. Using popular platforms to send bitcoin to each other, and soon facebook will do the same with their facecoin. This is truly revolutionary

maintain where ? inside the app/whatsapp ? and whats the connection of storing bitcoins inside their app from having a good security measure ? but no matter how solid the platforms security , there are still hackers that can bypass it . that is why i dont recomend someone to store alot of bitcoins on such popular app like this .

.

Yes, the level of security that must be considered before the news continues to be real, it's about assets or bitcoin that are valuable and must have very strong security to stay awake.
the popularity of bitcoin or cryptocurrency is increasing and more and more want to get involved or join to adopt without thinking about the level of security, and what we know is that every social media network is very easy to hack.
