Title: Facebook credit: what to think about that? Post by: grondilu on February 16, 2011, 07:36:38 AM I think it's amazing that millions of people are about to accept using that. But anyway, I'm all about free market and I have nothing against private currencies after all. So, what should we do about that? Is is good news for the liberalisation of currencies? Will it contribute to make people think about what is money? I think that it will be important to offer a plateform exchange with this currency. I hope the main bitcoin exchange websites will integrate it as soon as the facebook credit is released. Title: Re: Facebook credit: what to think about that?

I think they're trying to follow up on Tencents QQcoins
