My sources also say the news is fake. Thumbs down for the site which gave it.

Yeah, we think these coins have value now, just imagine when the other 99.9% of the world starts using them! Limited supply, increased demand = increased price!

Its really good news as long as there are more and more people accepting bitcoin

I know this is different than FB, but all the games are on there:

This is some good news for BTC's if it was true though I doubt it considering the previous comments on this topic.

I did ask my friend, who works at FB for quite some time and he said that it either is VERY, VERY well kept secret, or this is completely fake.
It is like 95% fake.

Why would someone try to fake this, getting peoples hopes up.
Someone has already posted, somebody getting ready to dump a fair amount of coins, an announcement likie Facebook accepting BTC is enough to hike the price.

I just copied and Googled "Nieuwe betalingsmethode toevoegen" from the screen grab in the article, I had to use Tor to actually go to the relevant Dutch site because Facebook redirects me in chrome.
Here is the relevant page actually on Facebook "Facebook ads - what are my payment options" and listed are
Visa
MasterCard
American Express
Discover
PayPal
Automatische incasso
https://nl-nl.facebook.com/help/338388466239851/
I would say definitely fake.

I would say this pretty much confirms it's not really. Is there a chance it's real? Of course albeit a very small chance. Fake stories being posted, I'd almost have to say we should close thread.
And BitCoinSteve, not your fault, you're just posting what you find!
Thanks, just trying to help, if its fake Id like to know also!

I finally made a good thread!
Well, is it a "good" thread?!
It has a lot of views and responses simply because of the title but I'm pretty sure this is fake until proven otherwise...

So 2 pages and no one points out there is not one credible source backing this up?
This could be a scam, ie, photoshop. No one has verified this. On the other hand this is just in the testing phase and not an actual press release from FB. Anyone on these boards have a business in Netherlands? Open up a business account via FB, it's free, and try to start and ad and pay for it, see if its an option.
As much as Zuckerberg hates the W Twins, I didn't see this coming, but who knows...
i have a dutch company account, but since it's still in testing i doubt i'd be able to see it.
No way this would be public testing. Especially not with a payment processor. If it's true, it's being tested by a QA/Dev. team, and they're working out bugs/functionality.
Still think it would be pretty awesome.

Facebook knows about it every company knows about Bitcoin and they would all be considering using it.
It was word of the year last year in Australia

I hope its true, seems like btc is rising since the news.
January 05, 2014, 09:15:46 PM
It would be awesome if this were true. I should happen. It would also be a great way for parents to manage money spent of silly games. It would be nice if the bitcointalk community supported a bitcoin awareness pr campaign. Every business should be accepting bitcoins. Sometimes people just need to be told what to do.

Do these sites even technically need to accept btc? Couldn't they just use a payment processor who takes the btc payment and converts it to usd for the company? I don't see why companies can't do that and sort of indirectly accept bitcoin.
of course, but a large company like facebook accepting bitcoin directly would make bitcoin a lot more legitimate to new bitcoin users.
