Topic: Is Facebook about to embrace Bitcoin? - page 3. (Read 3087 times)
It would be great if the did start accepting bitcoin or integrated the technology somehow, but I just can't see it. Facebook is all about making money and I'm sure they'd much rather create their own coin or type of company to capitilise fully from it. At the moment I don't think they could make much money just from bitcoin.
i think facebook embracing bitcoins could be bigger than dell or any other retailer, because how many people actively check it on a daily basis? many, many people... and what we need right now is more players to enter the game.
yes very true facebook can be a good partner bitcoin passing game game facebook: D
and facebook has the largest use of the base as well
so facebook can embrace bitcoin is larger than the others

Zuck will resist btc for one reason
Well two
THOSE TWINS
So he will look at btc and say NO just due to the fact the twins claim to control 1% of all bitcoins
So WHEN FB does take a position in some type of crypto he may choose another crypto coin IMO
How many users does FB have? So FB and Twitter are both in positions to stamp a crypto coin system as their preferred coin
Now if FB is slow to embrace any crypto coin, then btc may grow big enough to not be destroyed as the current preferred crypto coin as it is viewed now by other tech giants
User base of both FB and Twitter could drastically change the whole crypto coin landscape IMO

Bitcoin has more potential to revolutionize commerce than near-field communication (NFC) technology does, PayPal president David Marcus said at the LeWeb conference in Paris today.

PayPal’s president is going to Facebook.
David Marcus, who helped modernize the aging payments company, is jumping ship to run Facebook’s messaging business, Recode and others are reporting.
“David is a widely respected leader in the technology industry with a track record of building great products and finding creative ways to turn them into great businesses,” Facebook wrote in a blog post this afternoon. The company noted that its users now send around 12 billion messages every day, and its standalone Messenger app has more than 200 million users every month.

Now we have confirmation on why Facebook hired PayPal’s David Marcus: Payments and Messenger will eventually “overlap,” Zuckerberg said during today’s earnings call.
When the company first announced it had hired Marcus, the former president of PayPal, the industry took it as a strong hint that Facebook was looking to monetize its messaging app. After all, Marcus joined PayPal after parent-company eBay acquired his mobile-payments startup Zong in 2011, first leading PayPal’s mobile efforts before taking the lead as president.
While monetization speculations were broad at the time, Zuckerberg’s confirmation that payments will come to Messenger someday is almost too obvious now.
