If Apple, Facebook, Google and other Mega companies are developing their own Blockchain and Crypto, would it be the start of the people to slowly adapt crypto as our future money?
People today are aware of Bitcoin, Blockchain and Crypto related stuff but they're still not interested on investing or using it for their advantage.

What can you say about this?

Definitely it will be a step towards acceptance of crypto and will lead towards mass adoption, making cryptos the next biggest financial instrument and market.

Indeed, when the bank will offer debit and credit cards to their clients and customers then everyone will soon adapt debit and credit cards for their own advantage and easy access to the services.
I think most of the apple and Facebook users do recognize that blockchain and Crypto is very important in every society in the future.

Most internet users today are in doubt that blockchain and Crypto will be not the future of our money.
People are already aware that Bitcoin is very expensive but I don't they will adapt easily since our local markets aren't using blockchain and Crypto to access their services.
If Apple and Facebook will soon using blockchain and Crypto to their services then it's a good start to people would realize the power and the importance of blockchain in the near future.

Ohhh come on of course they are if apple or facebook made possibility to pay bills in crypto there will be suddenly a big hype again on crypto market and price will go to the moon.

I doubt it. There is no point owning a company owned coin that isn't part of an open distributed ledger.

Either choose a cryptocurrency with a proper distributed ledger, or choose fiat which is backed by govts. Choosing a company coin means taking a bet that teh company will still be around in ten years time - given that all companies die eventually, this is hugely risky.

Blockchain is not the same as cryptocurrency. Almost every CEO os those companies assume that blockchain is a great technology but at the same time they don't liky cryptocurrencies. I am not surprised if they will develop their own blockchain for any purpose but no one announced any goole / apple coin and probably never will.

People are gray mass of obedient rats that are ready to escape from the ship every moment they hear something, especially from high. If these technological companies will  publish an official announcement about creating their own blockchain people of course will eat this.
But in my opinion here is one interesting question: is it possible to Mega companies to become first in market if they will come in?
I think, that it is really possible for them especially considering their capital. For example, more people will know about this, and more people will invest! They even may be wouldn't know anything about that, just IPhone 11 will be sold out and every dollar will be invested in blockchain technologies inside the company, after what they may start offer to buy another campaigns because of monopoly in economical is usual, so this way they will reach first place in crypto market, but it is only my opinion. How possible it is really I don't know, but if they will need it - it will be done)

Hmn, or maybe just their clients who are often push their products and services in Facebook as ads could benefit the advantage of Facebook crypto.
But the main goal is to introduce crypto into people who are doubting crypto as an effective money in the future.
I think they don't need blockchain for their services because they already placed on top of the market but who knows! They're on their way into development.

when that happens, bitcoin will be advertised to the whole world and bitcoin will be commercially and publicly accepted. from that, numbers of people who will be involved on bitcoin-related activities will increase.

Facebook is one of the most important world application today so if ever they will adapt blockchain and Crypto to their platform then obviously people will start to trust crypto and Altcoins and would slowly adapt the technology.
But I doubt Facebook, Apple, Google will soon develop their own Blockchain.

Definitely if they do so It will be a very big step in crypto industry.

Why should these corporations participate in the promotion of cryptocurrencies? They feel good in the Fiat economy. In order for them to work peacefully around the world, they have an obligation to abide by the rules of government. Governments are afraid of cryptocurrencies as fire. They are already conducting coordinated activities against the promotion of bitcoin. Big corporations in this war will be on their side.

First of all, why should these large companies participate in the promotion of cryptocurrency markets? These large enterprises may study the blockchain, so they may not issue tokens because the blockchain is widely used, but tokens are not necessary.

for sure there will be a massive adoption if that 3 big companies developed their own blockchain and crypto In the market because of being popular and useful sites around the globe .   And definitely bitcoin price and other currency will drop if that times happen due to the panic selling .lol

if these 3 companies decide to use crypto as part of their service i can imagine the popularity of cryptocurrencies will growing rapidly but in my opinion even though Apple, Facebook or Google would not use crypto then crypto can growing without them but indeed if there are big companies use it then they will have big influence for crypto users and people in the world

They probably can, but will they? ;)

At most, they want some part in the crypto profit and are going to introduce their own centralized coins with heavy regulations. I can see FB doing this (especially after banning ICO ads).

The social media has a great impact on the lives of the people. The technology and new concepts of business driving people crazy when they see it on social sites. They follow each other like anything therefore.
And there is no doubt if the big tech giants like Apple, Facebook, Google Blockchain etc. make people adapt this Crypto business.

All these companies probably already managed to buy a large amount of bitcoin or another crypto currency, because I do not believe that such smart people will say such silly things about bitcoin. Most likely they just keep quiet and buy.

You made me think. Then this is really a global step towards the adoption of a crypto currency. It seems to me that even such a company will support any project. I expect better, I hope that the crypto currency is our future.

Of course,the question is are they willing to adopt the blockchain technologu? these are the most biggest companies all over the world would they use the blockchain for the decentralization of our  currencies?its needs a lot of time and study before these big companies to adopt the technology that we have right now because changing the payment is too hard especially when we are talking adoption globally.

That those companies if they are even attempting to enter this space but don't, that will be a win for us. Reason being this space is seen as unregulated, wild west, scam city, and so forth. If the biggest companies want to get involved here, that gives us some serious legitimacy to the outside world. We here already know we got a great technology, in 2018 it will be the worlds turn to realize that. Whether the money comes in 2018 or 2019 I really don't care, but the awareness will be vastly increased this year I am sure because of things like this.

If they adopt the cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology the whole world will know and be educated how the cryptocurrencies and the blockchain can give transparencies to almost all the things,you can apply blockchain technology into a lot of things such as payment system,voting system etc. and im sure if these companies will start adopting it all of these small businesses will think and study on how they will adopt these cryptocurrencies.

For sure it will help towards mass adoption and I cant wait for this to happen .
I believe it will happen in near future just i dont know how will other crypto do after they come out

I think these companies can have a good impact on people and push them to adapt crypto, but this can happen slowly and not to be forced. If done the smart way this can have very positive effect, but if done improperly this can push a lot of people away.  

We're already past the point where the blockchain can be stopped. It's now just a matter of time until it becomes a mainstream technology.

I think it's just a matter of time when the whole world will accept cryptocurrencies. People used to be afraird of everything new, but when they learn the subject they understand that this gonna be our future. I assume that blockchain technologies will become a integral part of our life in about 2 years. It's like internet, we won't imagine our life without blockchains and cryptocurrencies.

What if the government ban them from the country because of using crypto?  ;D

If that happens all of the small businesses and vendors would be able to adopt cryptocurrencies these companies has too much influence in the world that is why it would be a massive adoption if ever it happen,but before that happen it needs a lot of time for these comapnies to study how would they implement the blockchain technology using the existing payment systems.

If every business developed a shitcoin then they'd all be worthless because there would be hundfeds of thousands of different currencies and you'd have to figure out how to accept them all and at different rates. Also, they'd be centralized AF! Who would run a node for facbookcoin!? Rofl what's the point!? Just stick with bitcoin so you can have some real money in the future.

It will be a massive adoption i guess because these big companies has good influenced to almost all of the countries,but i doubt they will adopt the blockchain in this early stages,cryptocurrencies are still in the infancy period that is why theres a lot of room to grow before these big companies will be convinced that they need this technology.

Apple, Facebook, Google Blockchain can force people to adapt Crypto

-- anyone can't be force with this! joining the crypto community or investing in ICO or some tokens is a freedom of anyone and whatever you do, once they dont like they will never have it. lets put it this way, this thing can influence people to join our community in cryptocurrency, but will never force them.

If that has happened well it would be the start of the massive adoption in all the countries,these companies has too much influence to the whole world that is why cryptocurrencies would be adopted by most of the people,because they have trusted these brands and companies for years,being one of the biggest companies in the world you can do anything.

If these companies create their ICO, they will be able to turn over the cryptocurrency market. Millions of users who have never even heard of cryptocurrency will really reach for them.

I would say the world will start thing to use the cryptocurrencies and to adopt the blockchain technology if these big three super brands will start implementing or will use cryptocurrencies.Massive adoption would be seen in almost all part of the world because the small businesses will surely follow these companies.

I don't  think that such large companies will develop their own blockchain. Most likely they use a ready-to-use solutions to develop their tokens. I'm fully confident that these companies already move in this direction.

Yes, its true, since nearly everyone on this planet is using these three, it would not only be a huge incentive but also a necessity for people to adopt and adapt accordingly.

Yes, major company are shaping civilization culture, people will adapted from time to time following the majority lifestyle. But in other way blockchain it self like many ICO that already launch, if the project are success then slowly it will shock people and start to compete with major company, and major company like it or not will start its own blockchain

does apple announce about their ICO? are there any news about that?  ???

They can easily adopt the blockchain technology but it wouldn't mean they are adopting or using crypto currency, so it wouldn't have too much of a impact if it does happen.

especially if Apple somehow integrates a crypto payment option with Apple Pay

The world is changing, brother. Some governments even trying to prevent/ forbid cryptocurrency. But it is really trending

well there is a possibility to happened this kind of idea specially for now that the price of bitcoin and altcoin are increasingly. but i think this can be hard for other countries like Philippines that thus country has no free internet to access crypto. and other people don't have desktop, laptop, or andriod phone. other people buy by using money and if money turn into crypto and i dont know what would happen..

Just any one of those is enough to make people open their minds to the new system. I'm pretty sure that if Zuckerburg, the owner of Facebook started it then it's much easier to convince people to adapt the cryptocurrencies.

This is obviously possible since companies like Apple, Google and Facebook can influence people due to their popularity in the market today. For example, Facebook banned crypto advertisements on their website recently which drove the value of bitcoin and many other altcoins downwards showing that a simple move from a juggernaut like Facebook influenced crypto in such a major way. Honestly, I am not expecting much support from any of these companies towards crypto in the near future since Bill Gates etc mentioned clearly that they do not have a positive opinion regarding crypto.

Yes if these big companies motivate people to adopt cryptos, the cryptos will touch sky. These companies have the capability to influence a mass crowd. So it is possible.

Most people often have a crowd mentality and need a clear basis to make a decision. If Apple, Google, Facebook and the government come up with a market-friendly policy, so many people will start to enter the market.
