Eh, this doesn't strike me as anything close to revolutionary, although it's definitely good to see crypto get some promotion this way.
What it reminds me of is when car companies were including satellite radio receivers in their cars, which gave Sirius/XM Radio investors tons of false hope about satellite radio adoption--and it didn't really take off like everyone hoped. I've never used whatsapp, but even if everyone else does I'm wondering if people are going to find bitcoin to be useful or just a novelty. I'm guessing they still will prefer using fiat when they have to pay for something, regardless of how convenient any company makes it to use bitcoin. But I'll wait and see.

I'm still not really sure where I stand with these sort of apps. On one hand I don't like that it's so easy to send my BTC out, I suppose this means giving the API access to my private keys somehow (or perhaps just never having control of it on the wallet app).
On the other, I know how popular WA is, not just in Asia but in Europe... letting people just easily send BTC over it could be a huge boost for utility - it might actually take actual traffic away from Bitcoin network though, unless the app also integrates LN (oh wouldn't that be cool!).

And in this way they will be able to easily find out who sent money to whom. We all know whatsapp is being followed by legal forces. It is not about technology, it is about our declining freedom.
These big institutions are taking down decentralization gradually. Cryptocurrency was built on decentralization with the intention of giving the user absolute control over their transactions and to also keep the identity of senders and receivers anonymous. Anyway, cryptocurrency will gain new attention because WhatsApp will create additional awareness creation.Surprising news
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.

Combining fiat/crypto wallets with Messenger apps like Whatsapp is the next big digital trend.
If this project is successful,this will be a huge breaktrough for bitcoin.
Replacing all that copy pasting of long wallet addresses,always looking for a mistake to avoid,with simple commands will make cryptocurrencies so much more user-friendly.
I will keep an eye on this project for sure.

WhatsApp was controlled buy America so easily they attack the personal information and crypto transaction. My suggestion is combined wallet is never useful in this platform because anytime our money will be stolen in Whatsapp. All are never encourage this idea so it will not survive in future.
To people saying Facebook is entering crypto just because of this news, you need to slow down. Wuabit is a chat bot that works (or would work in the future) on multiple IM apps, and it's not owned by Facebook.
Sure there are privacy concerns, and maybe some technical kinks here and there, but I think this is a pretty cool concept. You're only supposed to use these for small transactions anyway. It might also turn out to be a new and effective way for merchants to accept Bitcoin payments.

I am tired of reading mainstream news.
I really don't think that this is going to benefit us at all. It will just be a mainstream move in order to impress the users that use WhatsApp.
Using Telegram is safer than using Whatapp and I will keep using it.
Probably true and I wonder how is the private keys owning problem handled by them.I really don't think that this is going to benefit us at all. It will just be a mainstream move in order to impress the users that use WhatsApp.

No privKey control, that's what I suspect. In such case, this going to be a piece of crap and I will always warn people of this.
Be careful folks, Zuc needs your money!
Most popular messengers are aiming to create their own currencies (probably stablecoins). In this case 3rd party wallet doesn't seem so attractive if there will be an original wallet for WhatsApp currency. Also they may find a way to disable any extra wallets in their messengers.
Anyway, a wallet in a messenger doesn't seem good unless it is needed for something and you are getting benefit for using it.

Cool ...
I can't wait to enjoy this service.
I think this is a good innovation, and I'm sure everyone will know about crypto. I hope this news can increase demand for crypto / bitcoin.

They wanted to do something similar in a telegramm, but so far around GRAM there is a lot of hyip, but the product has not been released. Although almost a year announced a fantastic ICO. How many applications for participation were received, but so far the project has not been released, and there is no news about the project implementation. I do not know if whatsapp will succeed in creating the really necessary product that people will use. So far we have heard a lot of statements from various projects, but we don’t see the realization of ideas. Only promises to realize them. Everyone has become accustomed to this.

Guess the Zucc is trying to cover all bases. Facebook coin on FB, Bitcoins on WhatsApp.
Either way, that's more options for people. I don't see any problems with this, so long as people ensure not to link their personal btc addresses to these apps.
It's already owned by Facebook IIRC.

If they partner up with Facebook & Co. and create a nice hype, this could actually lead to new money flowing into the market.
Though, they need to prove their achievements first - this is only rumors; buy it, and sell the news later!

Oh, my bad. Thanks for the clarification!

They don't want to be left behind by the rise of cryptocurrency wave. Actually, I was expecting them to be the frontrunner of this crypto revolution as they encompass a big market already. But then, new crypto users should know how to handle the security of their accounts, else, there will be stealing of funds, left and right. But of course, this is still good news for old crypto users. This might expand the usage of crypto faster and eventually contributing to the steady increase of bitcoin's price.

many others project are devoloping apps like that!

I think this is a very good progress from Cryptocurrency, because there are many who want to adopt Bitcoin, for example this news, so for me it is a good thing for the progress of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrency.
OMG!!! very good to know this, I imagine in the future using these apps for payments of bills, transfers everything by the smartphone, now with more features like sending whats, incredible!
