Anyone know if it's possible to send bitcoins via facebook? it would be the ultimate solution. Everyone has a facebook profile today, so it would really make bitcoin have a major breakthrough.

Price of bitcoins just keep climbing!! Waiting for a pullback before I buy more BTC

Ultimate solution for what? for this?

It's easy to have a wallet, be your own bank, trust no one, and facebook never will accept this things since they can't have profit with this idea...

The question is, do you want Facebook to know your bitcoin address and see all your transactions?
In my opinion, I would not let that happen. One of the reasons why I used bitcoin is because of anonymity.

Well, if we're going to go mainstream, this is something you'll have to get used to. Not only that but if Bitcoin is to be recognized and accepted as a currency worldwide, people using it cannot remain anonymous.

Bold statement. No reason. Why?

Your real identity will have to be linked to your wallet address.

Why?

They probably could still allow some level of anonymity, like for example regular people don't need to know who you are but the authorities/government will definitely know your identity.

Why?

i do not think it is a good idea to intrigate bitcoin with facebook as they do not think it is good with them and there is already block explorers avalible for our help we can share the transaction hash

I think better not to integrate bitcoin payments in fb chat which may open some vulnerability to bitcoin wallets linked to facebook profiles. There are many web wallets for users that feel really missing using bitcoin daemon and light wallets. Web wallets are as easier as using paypal or other payment processor they are using everyday.

Facebook is a company that is looking for world domination by getting their users into a usury relationship. The more control they have in what they present to you,the more control they will have over you at the end of the day. You can see this in any big company.

It may seem like a great idea but look back at the Zynga poker situation where there was talk of making it a actual poker site. People where frothing at the lips thinking about all the fish this would bring to the poker scene. It died on the vine because they do not want or choose to pursue the idea. Bitcoin would go the same route as they attempted to play with it to gain more info on their users.

I want bitcoin because of its anonymity and now you are telling us that if it goes mainstream we wil have to divulge our true identity? I don't think many will like that idea. I also do not like the idea of government knowing our identity. It is like fiats and banks all over again.

This isn't necessary.

Setting up a wallet will just take seconds in our life. Same with sending bitcoin to others disregarding the confirmation time.

Facebook are serious in terms of privacy and security so the said query will not take place. The only possible thing that can happen is Facebook will accept bitcoin payments to their services.

It has been done before... but FB blocked it.

However FB is now allowing bots... so it might be possible, even easy, to do it again.

I think they are still blocking Bitcoin payments though, I've found this article:
https://news.bitcoin.com/facebook-payments-messenger-bots/

Current bots are for CC and Paypal, I think.

now I see no a plan that leads to it. but if true then bitcoin will gain prominence. now already hundreds of millions of facebook users. and it could be a very profitable advertising medium.

I think it is really possible before that you can really ask payment or send bitcoin from facebook using our bitcoin wallets but i think now facebook banned it i don't really know the reason but im going to tell you once im done with my re search sometimes use google to find an answer.

I don't believe in this centralized sites, but if Synereo, Ashaka or even Steemit become successful and able to attract half of what facebook users, I will like it to be integrated into their system

The ultimate solution for what?

Bitcoin will become a facebook "slave" and the independence and anonymouty will be lost.

If you want to receive payments via FB,just post your wallet address in a fb post.

It isn`t rocket science. Grin

Why do you need Facebook to integrate Bitcoin transactions? One could get a new Bitcoin wallet up and running in a couple of minutes tops. Plus not all people have Facebook accounts. I for one don't have an account but this hasn't stopped me from using Bitcoin has it?

What are the options for Bitcoin to make such a deal? I meen, does anyone own the bitcoin system, and thereby would make them able to accept such a deal?

Check out the beginners section of this forum as you clearly need some help on understanding Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency which means that no one owns it.

No offence, but I suggest you go back to the beginners section as well. I am clearly a newbie, thus i am excused for my lack of knowledge. You as a senior member should know that the Bitcoin system is not decentralized. The author of the original code, have appointed several key members of the development team to maintain the backend of the bitcoin core system. It is thus not completely decentralized (but close).

Send bitcoin via Facebook I think it doesn't make sense, Facebook just social media. Might make more sense if Facebook accept payment via bitcoin to create an ad on its website.

it makes sense, it is just not a good idea. there are other social medias that have already implemented these types of bitcoin giveaways in their platform but in my opinion any kind of giveaway is not really helpful on its own. and there should be some extra work on explaining bitcoin and also more importantly to show ways of spending bitcoin.
