I think comparing bitcoin to facebook is kind of like comparing apples to oranges. Bitcoin is a P2P "currency" while Facebook is a social network. The uses of the two platforms are just too different

Apples oranges, sure. But it's also like comparing money to a website. Money just seems inherently better and far more potential to be bigger.

Bitcoin already IS bigger than Facebook, because 1BTC is worth more than 1 Facebookaccount

It's not like I can have 0.2187 FB account, or can I?

One day facebook will end up just like myspace, but BTC is here to stay, folks.

Trust me!

Effectively everyone can just go ahead and use Facebook. They profit instantly - they can communicate with their friends. Sure, to us this also applies to Bitcoin. Everyone can use it, there's no hurdle. But in reality, when it comes to money, people seem much more hesitant to adopt new things. We'll have to wait and see!

Depends on whose Facebook account that is. Some celebrity accounts are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Yes that is fate of all community sites sad but true.

BTC or some other coin will be for generation to come.

When something is new, timing is everything. Facebook's timing was perfect.
So the question remains, is this the perfect time for Bitcoin?

what time could be better? its perfect because everything is modern so money could be too

still it can.
i really dont think it will be any time sooner.

reason i simple to much hacking on markets for theft and this is something that i dont like.

Facebook is big because of spammers.....

Hello.... Signature campaigns?
I bet Bitcoin has its fair share of spammers too, at least in this forum.

We can all hope but the Winklevoss twins have a lot of reason to diss Facebook and have a horrible track record (so far) predicting what will happen with Bitcoin.

Winklevoss twins: Bitcoin will be bigger than Facebook. The brothers, two of the most influential players in a new generation of investors, say bitcoin will encourage financial openness.

Sorry but they are completly different things Facebook is a social media obviously and Bitcoin is a DIgital currency which worth month money you definitly can't compare them between each other . but if you mean from the numbers of the users and fame then I guess you can say that . not anytime soon because some people are just not open minded and will think that bitcoin is a scam Roll Eyes

Maybe in 10-20 years let's say Grin

Even if they are different things you can still compare them in terms of adoption, success etc. Also new technologies like MaidSafe will make decentralized facebooks.

I don't think it will be bigger than Facebook as Facebook has millions of members and are more popular among common people than bitcoins.
