What if Apple, Amazon, or Facebook made a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin?

There have been articles about how some large companies have hired blockchain experts, but who knows if they're planning to make their own cryptocurrencies or not. Undoubtedly if this happened, many more people would become invested in cryptocurrencies. But what are the other consequences?

I don't see any reason why would they do it. They have to stay in legal way where everything is traceable.
I think the better question might be if when and under which circumstances it will be possible to pay with bitcoin. For me it is highly unlikely to happen in the near future, because governments won't allow it.

Why do you think they didn't? )) Reputation.

they will make but it would be centralized so noone will use it.

I am sure Apple is going to be the first one to use cryptocurrency for buying and selling and I won't be surprised if tomorrow I'll read an article about its relation to crypto market.

Wow it will be definitely way of life changers! The most top tree online corporation in the world makes their own currency, I wonder how will they competes for this and how the Federal Reserve will reacts. There will be possibilities of online war I guess, government against corporation whose produce cryptocurrency.

Top companies are against open source software. How they could make a public-trusted crypto?

Very reasonable question. I was always wondering why they are not investing they enormous financial and electrificial powers into such a perspective as a cryptocurrencies...

Gonna be Hype, and gonna be so dangerous.

No protection for the customers.

F*** them all !

Decentralization makes bitcoin flexible and fun. Assuming they (Apple, Amazon or Facebook) would create a crypto for their own the price would only be close to no value at all.

Hi all, I thought i would post in an off topic thread for a change. Great thread btw.

First there was Apple, then Orange, then there was Blackberry, well now there is DeepOnion.
which has actually created an amazing cryptocurrency already.
