Why would they incorporate bitcoin? I believe they'd rather develop some other proprietary payment system or cooperate with regular payment providers.

I see this being a far more likely outcome, unless they can set it up to be taking a transaction fee on each purchase.

Can't wait to send my facebook-friends some of my Bitcoin millions!

People who haven't heard of bitcoin (yes, there still might be some) could think it was a game like candycrush. Tongue

Even if they had heard of bitcoin they would likely think it is some kind of facebook app game spam as there is just so much of it (there isn't any rule against people making a game called "bitcoin")

Just imagine you sell or buy with just a click on facebook using bitcoins, This is an opportunity bitcoin should grab, and facebook should not miss!

Facebook is testing a way for advertisers to make the direct sales pitch to people, and it could be a game-changer for advertisers and retailers. Through the Buy button, users can complete a transaction while staying in Facebook.

Zuckerberg wouldn't want BTC to go up in value. The Winkelwoss twins hold a chunk of it!

yes he could be satoshi

Interesting thought... Shocked

I think this would be very unlikely. He was likely spending 90+ hours per week when satochi was working on the final touches of bitcoin.

Nah....
Satoshi would definitely be an introvert.

Plus, if Zuckerberg was really Satoshi, we would have seen facebook - btc integration long back.

Ecuador already made a complete ban on cryptos, other important countries like Russia and China don't allow it being used as currency. I doubt facebook will use bitcoin for that and risks being baned in some countries.

Plus paypals and ebays charge high comissions and can pay more to Facebook, and bitcoin and cryptos aren't cited on the article.

... network is so big now that at least 2% of facebook users have also bitcoins, ...

Do you have any evidence to support this assertion? I'm just not seeing it.

There seems to be about 1.3B facebook users:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2703440/Theres-no-escape-Facebook-set-record-stock-high-results-beats-expectations-1-32-BILLION-users-30-mobile.html

... 2% of that would be about 26M, but the number of funded bitcoin addresses seems to be below 200K:

Yes, I know there is not a 1:1 ratio of bitcoiners:addresses.

Facebook and Twitter both have major problems due to most new growth is in poor 3rd world nations.

So btc is perfect for both, since most of the world is blocked from western banking such as legit visa/mc/amex accounts and western bank accounts.

Twitter may adopt btc before FB adopts it, you will have resistance to btc by FB due to the Twins alleged control of 1% of btc coins.

Doesn't sound like a problem to me. That's perfectly natural when you achieve such a high penetration in the developed world

It may just be because there's most capacity left for growth to occur. I wouldn't necessarily call this a problem either.

We don't need Facebook idiots to push bitcoin prices. Facebooks business model is to sell the identity of its users. No support from my side.

FB will no longer exist ten years from now, because it offers nothing new or important. Bitcoin will flourish without FB, because it is a revolutionary invention with numerous uses in the real world.

ya.ya.yo!

I'd be careful with those claims. Facebook offers interesting and useful things. Only their business practices are questionable. Also, Facebook is also known by effectively everyone. Bitcoin has to achieve that, still.

FB can easily do it using their credit system. Why will they keep the consumer waiting for > 10 minutes ?
