That could become true!
The Guardian published an article on its website that an own virtual payment system is intended to be introduced from Facebook. This idea is inspired from the high consumption of virtual goods and social games offered at Facebook and the millions of dollars spent for these services. Therefore, a testing period of a micropayment system is scheduled for the coming weeks. Only few information regarding this new virtual payment system are available but it is assumed that only few developers are involved in the test and that Facebook offers users the opportunity to buy things with real money.
In reality it could be that a “universal currency” will be introduced which is linked to the user’s login. Therewith, user’s payment information have to be entered once in order to make transactions on the platform Facebook as well as applications and third-party sites which are connected and accessible from Facebook.
The Guardian highlights that these are more or less speculations since there is no official confirmation from Facebook, but they also believe that the likelihood that such a virtual payment system will be introduced is very high.
