Yup Facebook is totally dead, it only has a billion users (1.2 billion) but it's basically on life support now.  Roll Eyes And meanwhile, bitcoin has how many thousand users? lol.

would be cool if zucker is in the crypto game.

as for Facebook, my personal experience is that people still use it but their activity has gone down significantly, previously in any given minute my feed is flooded and i find myself tagged every hour or so, profile pics were updated constantly, with likes usually in hundreds for one post. Now not so much, feed moves very slowly, Most people are now more active on twitter,pinterest and mobile apps like whatsapp, viber, snap chat etc.

I strongly believe the privacy settings changes in Facebook killed it, you'd be surprised the masses care about their privacy to a certain extent. The privacy settings changes and unpredictable nature of Facebook updates is the #1 complaint i hear from people about Facebook.

You mean people have turned from being stupid to complete morons!
A few weeks ago a girl was hit by a car close to my home because when she dried to cross the street she was typing on twitter.



Stories like this always make me smile. Don't feel sorry at all for stupid people who got hurt because they did something stupid. Poor guy who hit her tho, hopefully his car is insured.

I don't feel sorry for them either , sometimes you have to let mother nature do her job , natural selection.
Also , the car hadn't even a scratch on it , and even the phone was still ok since the people that arrived first managed to see the screen.
About the girl , i don't have a clue and i really don't care Smiley. Even if it's x-mas.

Lots of news outlets in the UK are reporting this at the moment.

Its probably not a massive problem for FB but could be interesting.

I hear Zuckerberg has quietly accumulated 2% of Bitcoin, just so that if it does succeed, he can reveal his position to the Winklevoss and stick it to them once more.

This is just a rumor though..

you have to be kidding me... you didnt mean this real...? Well the point is, inteligent and succesfull people really dont think in terms of "stick it to them once more"... (double that if its an investment)...

but yeah i think he could make it a quick buck, buy some bitcoin secretly and when hes confident enough announce that facebook will accept it, the price goes up, hes can sell.

If FB accepted BTC or LTC for their services that would be great. Despite what anyone thinks of him I am sure Zuckerberg isn't stupid and probably has at least some position in Crypto Currency.

facebook is like walmart. Their market is saturated. It's about staying #1 or decline now. There is no increasing.

I hope he does, because then Facebook would probably start accepting it,

Not the same thing but there is a new Bitcoin exchange being started using Facebook as a way of trading among friends.

it can be pre-scheduled sell-offs ... like Gates at Microsoft. Facebook just made a huge datacentre ( btw Iowa data centre will be 100 percent powered by wind power when it goes online in 2015 ) its can be way to attract new investments or not who know ? Wink

does anyone remember altavista? do you know why altavista failed?

it wasn't funded by the nsa. unlike google/fb etc. Oh and twitter is worth 40 billion or something? how? Apart from being a rich source of human intelligence it has zero worth.

We're living in an age where most venture capital is provided by the intelligence services. I used to laugh about it when it was china but we're becoming more like china than china is becoming like us.

They talked about this a few months ago http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1f77qd/mark_zuckerberg_talks_about_bitcoin_in_hungary/) but I don't think he is really interested in bitcoin. Maybe he realized that FB is about to collapse or maybe some very nice news is coming from our friend Snowden


Everyone knows his opinion doesn't matter, he just ends up copying successful people with a sharp instinct, he made a good bet stealing winklevoss bros. idea the first time, he's gonna get in on it now.

Either that or hes buying massive amounts of gold at todays low price. Seems like a less riskier investment for someone with his portfolio.

I hope he does, because then Facebook would probably start accepting it, which would catapult its value due to the mass amount of publicity a move like that would bring.

Why dump all these shares of his own company?

Buying billions of $ or more worth of bitcoins?

Maybe he's getting jealous of the Winklevoss twins, and wants to steal the fame yet again.
