if it's controlled by an authority, it's not going to be a blockchain. crypto is just a jargon here, they just built digital cash, with non-immutable database and just like fiat, your money is not fully sound.

sure, it might help with promoting people about cryptocurrencies, but it's not crypto as we know in this forum for sure.

It's an obvious shilling "study", and it seems like there's a larger effort going on now to hype stablecoins to give crypto a new spin for big companies and startups. It probably happened because ICO have almost died already, everyone realized that they have a strong reputation of scams, and now people are looking for new ways to sell blockchain technology hype to broader investors. We'll probably see more and more stablecoins that no one will use, and more big scandals, and then this fad will die too.

These stablecoins are raising the eyebrows of many who are thinking that what they are offering is not according to the definition of cryptocurrency which should be decentralized or not under the control of anyone or a group. of course, there are those who believe that big companies entering the industry can be unstoppable especially since they have the resources and the marketing prowess to promote the platform they can create. It remains to be seen if the coming of big and well-oiled names into cryptocurrency can be good for the industry in the long-term or will it hurt it in the long run. Let's just hope it is the former. As to Facebook, am sure they gonna use its behemoth network to make sure that its foray into cryptocurrency can be grand and successful. So in advanced, let's give Mark and his team a big congratulation!
