Can we rip off the stratosphere already? ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Mornigzzz! Everyone is so bullish, except Tone, who called for 42 I gather. There's a bit of attempted wall fuckery on Finex. Maybe we go alarming* down to 79 gosh, then up to infinity and beyond. *edit: +ly for the language purists, but i like it. stet

“With privacy, when there have been discussions with [the] user community . . . almost everybody was in favor of privacy on the user side,” said Back. “And exchanges are just providing service to users, so if they say, ‘we don’t take transactions that are private,’ users will just switch service providers ultimately. So, it’s very unpopular for people to say that they don’t like privacy. It would be interesting to push them to see if they are willing do that.” Well that's all very glib. Things are going to heat up.

My apologies for fudding y'all with that ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Seems the guy ari_whatever is some shitcoin supporter. 'Craig's coming for you...' seems to be the message.

If it’s to be a stablecoin I won’t bother with it.
Do you truly honestly believe Mark will expose the wealth of his billions of users to a bunch of cockhonkers on Bitmex? We were just having a nice dream till you guys destroyed it. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) If you want memes and wild dreams go to @ BitcoinPermabulls on Instagram. Only serious and grownup discussions here on the very polished WO thread. Not quite. I dream of Rio. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FOi8PiwO.jpg&t=662&c=nOitqPU11a-iUg)

how bloody Orwellian this is, it's not even funny. The shitcoin to end all shitcoins.
A FacebookCoin pegged to the USD with full KYC/AML could eat 90% of the market share of credit card processors, non-USD fiat currencies, and shitcoins. Bitcoin would be your only alternative.
Facebook has a bigger network effect than anyone in payments. If they're smart, they'd stay out of monetary policy & build a payment network around the most liquid asset their users want. With KYC/AML, they'd probably offer more USD liquidity & lower fees than anyone else.
Network effects dominate. In a KYC world, there's very little reason for anything but the dollar and a facebook payment app to exist. Why hold your local gov's shitcoin on an app, when you can hold the dollar & spend globally? Why hold any app that has a smaller network than FB?
Payments will centralize around one network & standard. Currently it's USD, meaning surveillance, inflation & war. Bitcoin's value proposition is that its most centralized layer is distributed over many thousands of nodes, making it arguably immutable apolitical & uncensorable.
Your choice:
1- A global inflationary currency that uses seigniorage to finance a large bureaucracy & global empire with complete surveillance of everyone
2- Digital immutable apolitical hard money with no seigniorage. A good take I think from saif, and reminds me of the ubiquitous Chinese payments app Wechat Pay
