Topic: Bitcoin will be bigger than Facebook - page 10. (Read 19644 times)

And money is much more relevant than that stupid website. Widely using bitcoin would create a lot of wealth, because of its advantages over fiat money. It's much more efficient, secure, etc.

Facebook actually owns instagram so any "market share" taken by instagram is still had by facebook. I believe the same is true for whsatsapp as well.

Bitcoin has potential to be used by more people than Facebook. Money uses everyone but not everyone need Facebook

While Bitcoin has many advantages over fiat (on internet), we have to see if Bitcoin become preffered way to use money on internet.

I believe Bitcoin will have a larger impact than Facebook when all is said and done: economically, sociopolitically, philanthropically etc...just that we're still several years from seeing this come to fruition.  When it does reach mass network effect, Bitcoin can be used for elections and the voting process, used for large scale charitable movements, used for large scale fundraising for a grass roots cause, used as a global payment and money transmitter and remitter.  There's some signs of this happening, but not quite the scale I'm talking about.

Facebook is global, is the largest multinational social media website, is on practically every PC, MAC, phone, tablet, and portable device.

Bitcoin can and I believe will get there, but to dethrone Facebook, will take a truly global revolution in the way everyone sees it.  Someone mentions Facebook, you already know what that person is talking about.  "Oh that's the site where you see everyone's vacation pictures".  "Everyone shares their favorite pages and likes and dislikes and pokes with imaginary gifts, before going on their virtual farm".  "Everyone at school is on it, we see their spring break pics all the time."  "Aww, isn't that cutest baby ever, look at the video of her crawl!"

Bitcoin still isn't common speak, still isn't on that level where a 9 or 10 year old can describe pretty much what it's all about.  If we get there, it'll be once we have soccer mom's talking about their Bitcoin savings, several Mom and Pop stores selling everything in the store in Bitcoin, and the immigrant worker working hard sending money back home to Central America, South America, Europe, Asia etc in Bitcoin....we still have a ways to go.

I have full faith that bitcoin will attract lot of investors[as many of wall street people are already doing]

So bitcoin in terms of investors and investment will beat facebook in few years.

And bitcoin is being challenged by litecoin. 

I don't think so,
I'm not sure all use crypto
People know crypto if user more know internet

Right now its hard to imagine how Bitcoin will beat Facebook. I don't know how those people can be so certain about their statements.

Couldnt happen. When facebook is gone and other surfaces it will still be bigger than bitcoin. Maybe it (bitcoin) will be bigger than fb in some other countries but not all over the world.

not possible. But if in a year facebook will drop its popularity rate then bitcoin will be much bigger. but as long as fb is still working great, there will be no competition.

Maybe in 10 years there will be something new for them

Suppose it will go like that, what happens next? What happens to the people that are using FB?

Facebook is already being challenged for market share of new users from Twitter, Instagram, whatsapp, snapchat. http://bgr.com/2014/01/16/facebook-teens-leaving-service-11-million/
Social media can change quickly. Facebook could end up looking like old college yearbooks.

Well it really depends on what you mean by 'bigger'. If you're referring to adoption (the number of people that uses Bitcoin) then sure, in some years I can totally see Bitcoin being overwhelmingly bigger than Facebook. Bitcoin is just money and can be used by everyone whereas FB will only ever appeal to a small portion of the world.

not gonna happen.

Impossible to happen. Facebook will rule the world for another 10 years.

Facebook now got their foothold. And noty foothold, foothold. I mean a 20foot concrete foundation foothold. Bitcoin.. hmmm slightly lesser than that for sure.

Volatility will decrease when volume increases. As more people demand it, volatility will go down (and price up).

Isn bitcoin already bigger that FB.

All use crypto, not all use FB.

So in no time bitcoin (cryptos) are in for all.

Not gonna happen. Everyday facebook grows making millions and millions without making a decrease of their worth. Bitcoin dove a couple of times in a month.
