Or FB or Google. It’s just part of the business cycle right now. They over hired during the pandemic and need to rebalance

Acceptable-Risks

It definitely is a plus when I'm wearing my consumer hat, but I'm also a merchant and have seen chargeback abused by a customer and cost me $1100 plus the lost product. I hope we solve it with bitcoin, and if we don't, I certainly hope we choose the side of immutable. I'd rather have the risk of getting scammed fall on me and my choice to click the buy button. Giving anyone the ability to reach into my account and take back money because a counter party disputed the transaction really bothers me. Having been scammed on Fb buying a beard trimmer that never came, and on the other side having been scammed by a customer who abused chargeback and ripped me off, technically stealing money directly from me legally, I'll take the scam from FB. Isn't that the bitcoin ethos? Personal accountability? Self custody? Independence? I dont want middle men.

AJoyfulProcess

The part of me that tries to find a silver lining in everything is currently scouring craigslist and FB marketplace for things I like priced above 600 bucks so I can come in with a low ball offer of $599 :)

Odysseus_Lannister

Hey now my Internet Privacy (IP address) is my business alone! *uses FB, insta, TikTok, etc* /S

Shrimp_Chimichanga

First thought you said, licking your own FB picture.

AutisticGayBear69

Yes - it’s unfortunate that CB customers aren’t fully aware of what is happening. I believe part of CB’s business model is the sale of its customers’ data similar to FB and that one of the federal government agencies has a contract to mine customer data.

Scotthe_ribs

Silly to assume I’m on FB or twitter. “I follow all media” okay so you know it all, what a cop out. Good talk carry on. It’s also silly to assume you know the full story regardless of source. Unless you were there, you have no clue, aside from what’s reported.

IMO I see MATIC becoming the blockchain of choice for most if not all enterprise web3 crap. We already have Starbucks, FB, IG, reddit, and others. Highly bullish on it, I stopped DCAing into anything else in the same class because MATIC does it all better and already has a ton of use.

Excellent. I have 30k+ followers on FB and YouTube (definitely less on Twitter) under my real non-crypto identity, but I've just become so frustrated with Twitter in the past few weeks that I stopped posting there entirely. It's a shame, because I used it most frequently of all the social networks until recently. From a fellow Canadian, we appreciate your presence here.

54sTAtEs

I completely agree. Please follow BTC on Reddit, Twitter, FB and Instagram to stay up to date on all BTC news and don’t forget to vote BTC on all CEXs and DEXs. Welcome to the BTC community.

immaloveyoulongtime

At this point, they are similar to FB stars but if we can somehow use tech to add utility and purpose… they might have some potential in the future. However, moons already fill in the gap

anma_3456

Only a very few years after the tech crash in the early 2000's did the tech market emerge as we kind of know it today. Before then, tech was all specualtion and super risky. Now,... Everyone wants a piece of FB,Google etc... Alot of incredibly big companies does out then as the market reformed. I see this kind of thing happening now in the crypto space. Captiap will reshift, many coins will be starved to death and then out of nowhere a surprise boom hits. But right now, run for the hills and forget trying to time the market or buy a 'dip'.

thestonkinator

I'm sure I'm biased but I see the best risk/reward in Reddit Collectible Avatars. Just as much/more functionality as those others (access to a community + pfp + actual interchangeable traits). The fact that proof of ownership is built into Reddit's platform already is huge, FB/IG are just incorporating this now, but Reddit is leading the way. The interchangeable traits are huge also imo. Sure, randomly generated traits of BAYC are cool, but what if you could buy multiple and mix to create your own personalized one? That is Reddit CA.

Podsly

What makes you think he's killed twitter? It's still operating, and will probably remain operating for years and will most likely have improved revenues and net profit. You know all tech stocks are down. Some may fail, but probably not the likes of the big few, twitter, FB, Google etc.

big_fetus_

I really do like VB and have a lot of respect for him, but honestly, Ethereum has a lot of issues. Why is Polkadot or even ADA if not? again, Buterin seems like a good actor for the space, but I really doubt the ETH flippening ever happens. There are simply too many alts that are faster, cheaper and have less failed txs than in 2017. before you downvote me, it's not gonna be SOL or EOS ICP or whatever the FB shitcoin is Aptomis Aptos whatever lol

tsumy

I didn't post anything in FB in years. If suddenly I throw something like that, I ll receive the pity of some and requests to visit the closest mental health dr

neen209

Bro I swear I have the worst timing ever. I know we all make jokes about market goes up when we sell & down when we buy…but it’s got to the point with me where it’s not even funny anymore… I haven’t made a social media post about crypto in the longest time…I don’t know why, but the day before the FTX debacle, I decided to post on FB to all my family & friends. Here is the post per verbatim: “I care about you all, and I don’t want to give any financial advice. However, you have a friend that has studied crypto/blockchain for endless hours. In my humble opinion, if you are ever thinking about investing in crypto, I believe now is a great time. This is the last time I will ever mention crypto to my network. In the future, don’t say I never told you so!” Think I’m having Thanksgiving alone this year…

iMHackeRPiratE

government issued Tether so they'll make it as prime than most stables. For privacy don't ask. anyway, people still use no matter what like FB and Instagram. pro side: legal and better than the bank transfers to transfer your funds anywhere in the world. recovering your is funds easy and most important one is scammers will be fked.

Blueberry_Dependent

People said that when the time comes and every hope is lost (commenta like crypto is dead) then we probably hit the bottom. The thing with crypto and Bitcoin specifically is that rich people buy a lot of it. Like 500BTC per day a lot. Just image you have that amount of mone, why would you invest in something which majority of people say its dead? Why not property, bonds or something else, why Bitcoin? Think people, there is something big behind all this. People with money and power know much more and are not like the ordinary 9-5 person who spend their time on FB or watching hours of TikTok. They know how to make money work for them with minimum effort. If you ask me who I trust the guy who earns less than 3k a month, with loan and credit card on red or a guy who made millions I would choose the second one.

echoesqka

Zuckerberg tried to do it too by trying to ingratiate himself with the political class with the support for repeal of 230. But look what happened, markets were allowed to work and boom FB/Meta is down and laying off people. Need to let the markets work. Laissez Faire

Old-Philosopher8450

So whois most hated now Do Kwon or Sam FB

boldtonic

Seeing actual prices with how things are going with all the ww3 talks, Luna, FTx... the crashes, inflation, and so on... I am bullish. ETH was in the road of 2k past week and BTC over 20k... We are doing just fine. Time to dca and build stuff. Idk you but there are 16k angry web2 top level engineers with good money out there... We can see the "FB" version of web3 anytime...

Freeloader_

you would be surprised, our country police authority has its own FB page and informs us about cases, recently there was a guy who was buying BTC in tens of thousands by sending some shady guys money, everytime they asked him for some fee (again in thousands) and he send it, he stopped after like a 3rd or 4th payment lol, only then he realized its a scam

AgencyBackground

Unless FB wants to commit a total suicide.

Missmilster

Hear me out. Imagine if Meta purchases FTX and incorporates it with their Facebook platform and weird ass Metaverse. Then everyone on FB would instantly have a vault-like crypto space like on Reddit.

veresg

Never understood why Twitter became so popular, mostly because of this, and why do we need it besides FB... Guess I'm a boomer now.

Funny_But_Inhumane

Its a numbers/time game, and sadly FB still has it with the olds, the youngs are more instagram and tiktok, tiktok is scary winning this time game

Investment: DESO Asset class: Crypto Current price: $9 Market cap: $70M Type: Social Media Social media is broken, because companies like Meta and Alphabet have too much power and they ban whoever they want. Elon Musk bought Twitter to try and fix it, but the fact remains it will be controlled by a company. All cryptos are securities, Ethereum being the mother of all shitcoins. Only Bitcoin is an asset because of the way it is designed. Search it up or listen to Saylor. He is right. Bitcoin is digital property. During this hard crash of Solana and FTX and Binance drama a new opportunity has presented itself. A coin, which can be security BUT: Bitcoin is own your money, and DESO is own your content. It is a coin with around $50 M marketcap, has a founder, is decentralised. It is Layer 1 and there are already 200 dapps which are social media apps built on it. It is like buying the future of Social Media, or to out it this way: It is like buying FB, Snapchat, Tiktok, Instagram, you name it but all in one stock. A trillion dollar industry. VCs dump coins like Solana, VCs pumped DESO last year, but at current market cap we retailers have the opportunity of taking it over. A short squeeze will be coming. DESO will be trending when crypto capitulates. This is your chance. DESO will kill it! Check it out and comment.

FB marketplace doesn’t have a market cap anywhere near cryptos.

Uno-91

Okay, while that might be true. I do think that Crypto is far more criticized for its flaws compared to other markets that see an high occurrence of scams. I'm not seeing any policymakers scream for regulations on FB marketplace etc.

8BitsIsEnoughForMe

Am I the only one who doesn’t want mass adoption? I like the Wild West aspect of it, we already have a super regulated financial system. Moreover, it reminds me of the early internet. I don’t want it to become the monstrosity of Google and FB of todays internet.

morganrz

Yes and the FB/insta news. Probably money coming in from doge and sol selloff as well. Trying to top up my bags..

devilsgospel666

Never in a million years would I have thought Reddit is the crypto vanguard. Not Google, Apple, FB, IG, Gamestop, banks, name another huge financial/tech/tech-adjacent institution. Good job not only seeing the future, but also implementing it in a way that makes sense.

jmbsol1234

Srs question: Why are then on Nova tho? It was built for gaming. It's a bit inaccessible for the average person. The avatars are on Polygon. So is Starbucks, Meta (FB/Insta) NFT's, Lens Protocol etc. Why not use a network everyone is already using instead of an obscure gaming one? I added Nova to metamask, but now if I ever want to redeem my moons and be able to use the funds for anything, I will have to bridge them somewhere

Spear-of-Stars

I can barely keep up with Reddit and my company's posts on LinkedIn. We have someone who handles all our social media and it's not me, so since I'm not paid to go on FB, Insta, Twitter or TikTok, IDGAF. Maybe if they had MOONS.

Odysseus_Lannister

What I was saying is by enabling more people to have a platform to spew hate speech and misinformation, it’s kinda dangerous lol. That’s why Twitter/FB/Reddit/Insta crack down on it lol.

o_LUCIFER_o

I'll stop using Twitter as i did with FB years ago. Nothing to worry.

hautdoge

Yikes. Looks like there's a way it could be reversed. My wife was getting scammed on FB marketplace for something she was trying to sell and they were talking about using Zelle. So there must be a way to get scammed thru that.

We-Want-The-Umph

On FB Market I get several messages from scammers. I waste ~~their~~ my time by humoring their sons and cousins coming to pick it up. They really seem to grab the bait when I suggest we use Zelle "as it's sooo secure".

FinanceSnake

The reason Facebook stopped growing is because it on-boarded pretty much everyone. That means profitability in terms of new users reached an equilibrium after exponential growth. Zuck, thus, had to come up with a new product to create new "new person" revenue." The uncertainty of the prospects of this new product is what crashed the stock. Meta, owning FB, Insta, etc... has a large user base which have not used Polygon before, whether knowingly or unknowingly. They will start using the polygon network now, suggesting similar growth to what facebook experienced years ago. Watch META buy Polygon - or at least try to.

Abysskitten

So many rigs on FB Marketplace.

Illustrious-Hand-626

I work in the AML (anti-money laundering) department at a financial institution. She is 100% money laundering or more specifically as others have stated acting as a mule. If this is her first time doing this and legitimately thinks she’s doing nothing wrong she can be classified as an “unwitting mule” wherein legally she won’t get in trouble but will still be accountable for any losses. My best guess is the people sending her money are your typical Craigslist/FB marketplace scammers. They need her bc she has a verified account which allows her much higher sending/receiving limits and to purchase bitcoin directly from the app. Scammers use unverified accounts with prepaid “burner” phones. These accounts have much lower weekly limits and can only send/receive funds via the app nor can purchase btc from their account. They also need to send her money frequently as they will freeze the account once a scam has been reported and don’t want to lose out on dem free gainz. This is where she comes in to purchase btc and send back to the receiver where they can now sell their btc for usd. I wouldn’t be surprised if these “clients” are all the same person using multiple unverified accounts or even just Zack himself sending you all these transfers. Either way she will eventually get caught. I see this all the time and we let it slide if we only see it occurring in an account very infrequently but once there’s a hint of a pattern you’re flagged. So tell her once she gets caught to play the dumb card and never do it again lol or else she will be in federal trouble instead of just bank trouble

Rey_Mezcalero

Haha anything with FB/Meta I avoid

dig1future

That's where we are headed anyways dude. Not just with Zuckerberg but worldwide. Think there is a UN plan for digital identities though not sure if that will be implemented over time. The rumours out there is that de anonymyzing the internet will be next after that. This seems secure to me due to how well protected for the most part FB, IG and the rest of the Meta hub seems to be. I guess its more of an intro and easing into the future of what is to come.

chuloreddit

Instagram eh? So just a repackaged FB and Meta idea. No thanks

MilesPower

Polygon might be doing great but everything Facebook has their hands in goes to shit. I can't see how facebook NFTs are going to do anything for their current ecosystem given the majority of FB users are boomers and the majority of Metaverse users.... don't exist.

DamnMyAPGoinCrazy

So the most hated coin on this sub, SOL, now has NFT supported on Insta and FB. Went short SOL bc everyone here said it was most likely not to survive this bear

TheRicFlairDrip

Official statement: One of our admin’s wallet addresses was compromised. This wallet managed the RBC/BRBC bridge and staking rewards. We suspect it was malicious software that was used to get access to the admin wallet's private keys, and around 34M of RBC/BRBC were sold on Uniswap and PancakeSwap, which resulted in the dip of the token value. Rubic.exchange continues to work without interruption and your staking funds are safe. None of our contracts were exploited, rather it was the private keys of the wallet that were compromised. It is important to note that none of our contracts allow users’ funds for swaps or staking to be moved to unintended destinations. Your funds are always safe. The team is dealing with the situation and we will keep you updated on our next steps. Staking rewards will resume in a couple of days. Compromised Rubic Address: 0x105A3BA3637A29D36F61c7F03f55Da44B4591Cd1 Hacker's Address: 0xD2D113d7b5c4F8FB4A68cEDa26F894F0fE25F24a

Except FB aka Meta is not poor

devilsgospel666

https://internetcomputer.org/showcase/? This is where I have been the last couple days. I highly recommend some of the tools here they have for multiple things like (3D!) NFTs, smart contracts, web pages on ICP, governance and interacting with the network at large (I use the NNS front-end). The ecosystem seems to have a big focus on user-friendliness and education, I really had no trouble jumping into a lot of this and I'm no expert. Most of it is also built entirely on ICP while a lot of stuff on ETH uses some web2 services still. Honorable mentions: decentralized reddit and FB, decentralized on-chain distributed file storage, AI lofi music player, 3D NFT art gallery metaverse compatible with ETH, luxury item NFT service, and Internet Idenitity anchors routing your traffic through the ICP blockchain where it is allegedly private and your data isn't collected.

devilsgospel666

Interesting it's like this whole Aptos thing was just a big money grab from FB execs or something

Seattleman1955

He is too busy buying FB and Alibaba. I feel sorry for his heirs.

pbjclimbing

This is not what is happening. Each of the avatars is being sent by a different account to a main account and then sold. I sent 1 MOON to several of the "feeder" accounts like 0x25B71B41Ed825ee59139BCA0771Ab294C86FB198. Then in the app it will tell you the user name of the account, this on is bestprefer37. Each of these accounts has activity and karma, then stops. It appears to be a coordinated account farming method used to create NFTs that are then sold for $8-$15. **It does not appear that there is smart contract hacking going on here**

abinghambtc

Amazingly, losing 66% of your money from speculating in a crypto that earns no money, isn’t as bad as if you’d invested in META (FB) on the same date, which has lost 68% since then

Vishal_pratap_

Apple is screwing FB's ad business plus this, both side losing money

greenappletree

If u look at FB today and compare it 3-4 yrs ago it’s night and day. The people/post and engagement is simply just not there anymore

Filmerd

Lool I'd be so with it if SC and FB joined forces I guess my whole point is that Facebook might be more successful if they just worked with another firm who's been successful in the video game space ala ready player one.

walter_midnight

What do you mean? Facebook is just following the research, and this is getting people to talk about something they'd otherwise ignore - albeit in a thoroughly ignorant matter. Meta doesn't give a shit about pseudo-proctoring approaches, that's just headlines making wind because some Fortune or Bloomberg freelance writer fucks don't have any idea of how VR works. Guess what, if your boss wants to monitor you, he is already doing it and perfectly at that. Abstracting this shit via VR/the MV is infinitely worse and in many regards more difficult to pull off, these are such nothingburger arguments. Pretending like this is somehow worse than actual workplaces doesn't change the fact that we've been perfecting the practice for centuries. I doubt FB is going to bring it home either, despite them being so massively better situated than all the other VR-focused companies combined, but pretending like Meta or Mark somehow have a super crisp, explicit picture of its future is entirely missing how much of a proof-of-concept this still is - by their own admission. It's just silly to dismiss something that has barely been more than a prototype, y'know, purely from a standpoint of how long such a product would take to fully develop. Worst of all is all the stupid discussion about it "looking ugly" and legs being somehow irrelevant enough to warrant research. Yeah ok, but the only people who say shit like this haven't as much as tried wearing an HMD or started realizing how pancake footage doesn't clue you in at all to how it looks and feels when you're in it. That goes both ways, some stuff looks worse in VR because of wonky proportions you could never gauge from flat screens, most looks infinitely better and stylistic crud can be easily ignored, despite it being almost egregious in the raw video.

FldLima

NEver had FB, never will. Besides being annoying af (old people love it, belive and share everything they read), f\*ck ZUCK

_tweedie

I feel like I'm in an alternate dimension on FB. And not in a good, trippy way either 🤣

The delay from OpenSea is usually just a few seconds. Are you sure you are connected with the right address? It should be this one: https://opensea.io/0xbF1841B3c8b2759Ccad8CD90FB54Bdf912cACCB7

Isis? Wtf are you taking about. I just spent four months in Ukraine and fought on two different parts of the front. There’s no isis there. Random FB posts aren’t a good place to get your current events dude.

jmbsol1234

Getting completely off Twitter for a year, using only Reddit (and FB a little) for crypto related social media. Now i'm back on Twitter, but after a year know how to filter out the noise and spam. I cleaned up my follows to only non-shilly/pump and dump people

GrimmReaperBG

Well, technically they are indeed partners in crime, since FB is charging for every advertisement, so that way they are basically paid to promote the scams to much larger auditory. Televisions and 20-cent. media are hold responsible for exactly the same, why should it be different when it comes to social media?

Yuuki__konno

Totally agree, just wait until people start putting stupid expensive NFTs as profile pictures on Twitter, FB, Insta, Whatsapp etc..

luv2fit

Why would you buy FB right now? Please explain your fundamental analysis. If it’s because “it was at X price before and will get there again” then you are not thinking correctly in the investment world

luv2fit

You could say the same thing if you zoom out of Facebook stock but hell no I’m not buying FB

AutisticGayBear69

Never thought about it that way but you’re right. NFT PFPs are antithetical to what FB is. A lot of Twitter people in the NFT space use anonymous personas as per Reddit and NFT PFPs even if they don’t have Twitter blue.

Chill_Edoeard

Bro nft candy crush might be the adoption we need LETS GO FB NFTSSS

inevitable_username

Yup, it will just be a money grab. It's customary for Redditors to use Avatars. On IG, FB and Twitter people mostly use their photos or jpegs – no point in NFTs.

Slainte042

I think that the people that hate NFTs will hate them even more if Insta/Twitter/FB introduces them as avatars and start NFT campaigns.

Illini005

Ok, bro. So you just CONVENIENTLY frequent the r/TomBrady subreddit and have intimate knowledge of his travels in Nassau, Bahamas??? [https://imgur.com/a/FB3jVO7](https://imgur.com/a/FB3jVO7) BE REAL. How many bots and paid shills do you guys have on here manipulating votes?

Odysseus_Lannister

Bold of you to think anyone at meta/FB cares about a user’s experience.

GKQybah

You are correct. The most commonly used burn address "0000...." actually has private keys attached to it but it would be close to impossible to find. The address belonging to the private key "0000..." (and a couple others) however is inaccessible due to the elliptic curve crypto due to it being mathematically impossible. ​ Theoretically even the address 0x3f17f1962B36e491b30A40b2405849e597Ba5FB5 which is attached to private key "0000...." can be accessed because addresses have multiple private keys :)

Earthenwhere

That would make sense! So the wallet lookup at https://etherscan.io/address/0x3f17f1962B36e491b30A40b2405849e597Ba5FB5 Is showing testnet balance as well as mainnet balance?

OneThatNoseOne

No one really knows what the Metaverse is. Basically FB tried do define and decide what the verse is for themselves and seem surprised no one gets it, especially when they themselves don't even get it.

Aerocryptic

Cause they're in competition with 2 other projects from the aborted FB crypto

HaMMeReD

Yeah, so did Palmer Luckey after selling Oculus to FB, seems to be a common rags to riches trend.

Texi_Ken

IMO, if FB went away, that would benefit society immensely.

unitys2011

Bitcoin has dwarfed social media giant Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: FB) and JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM), which controls a market capitalization of $360.58 billion and $349.31 billion, respectively.
