Facebook makes its own coin, will it be selling in the market?

[EasyTutor]

It will be interesting to see what happens. Mark Zuckerberg put Mr Marcus one of his senior executives in charge of experimenting with the blockchain for Facebook. Marcus used to be President of Paypal and sits on the board at Coinbase. Facebook is saying they think by creating their own cryptocurrency they will be able to manage transactions better within; therefore being able to protect privacy better and give users a new way to protect their data. I think its to early to say whether or not the coin will go to market.I do think its a step in the right direction for Facebook though.

If Facebook will create its own crypto currency it will mean that the blockchain has begun to capture the world)

[masudginanjar]

if not wrong also Facebook ever join cooperation with Altcoins Doge, But that I hear it and not so sure.

means Facebook is also open to cryptocurrency and means Facebook does not fully ban cryptocurrency. if only true to ban Crytpocurrency maybe this moment also ICO ads on facebook does not exist.

[woqu5]

This is not a good idea
Facebook banned the advertising of cryptocurrencies and ICOs and was ready to release Altcoin.
When they have their own coins, people who use facebook need to buy it before they can use it.
Or send a tweet to get a certain amount?

[Catch-22]

It would probably be one of the most successful coin in cryptocurrency history. Considering its more that 2 billion users as a captive audience when advertised thru the social media audience. Where do I sign up?

While prohibiting cryptocurrency ads or digital currency circulating on the platform, does not mean Facebook is really anti with bitcoin and the like.

Facebook reportedly preparing to make its own virtual currency, although not yet known when the official was announced.

really? facebook has banned ICO what they think to make their own coin?

[marlonbatotoy]

If mark did that coin.. It will help people using facebook known about crypto.. And that coin is known by billion people.. I think they don't ban some of crypto currencies ads.. I think mark ban the ads from the scammers but it is so difficult to do.. Because i've seen some of ico ads on facebook.. I think mark is on crypto side.. Because crypto is not fully banned.

If this is true then for sure this coin will earn more investments because Facebook is very popular now that investors will not going to afraid to pour their money on this project because Facebook is a legit project, Mark Zuckerberg is a legit person and Facebook is feasible to the masses thefore it will be a huge success. Who knows, they just ban crypto ads to ensure that only FB coin will be the only crypto that will be going to promote in Facebook.

I like to read the article but google is not translating the page. Facebook is a giant company and I am pretty sure if this is true people will line up to get their coin regardless of the purpose. Facebook money is a flop but an actual currency that can be buy and sell will surely invest in. For me this is an opportunity to invest in Facebook, I was  not given an opportunity to buy facebook stocks when it was cheap so this is the second best thing.  

[shesheboy]

does anyone honestly believe facebook would release a coin that wasn't pegged to the dollar? the idea is ridiculous. they have billions of users. most of them are not gamblers. they want something that works, not something that'll rape them overnight.

yes of couse. Any single people including me are all believing that facebook can do it because facebook do have lots of connections. Facebook can easily sell thier coin to the public because they can easily advertise it on their own platform .

facebook will also create a coin that has a purpose not just for the sake of stealling money but of most importantly to improve their services more.

that coin can probably be used on facebook products in order to purchase in game items or in game apps .

Really this thing is still around the forum. 

I thought we are no longer believing the Facebook itself. The Facebook is trying to catch the market with new strategies and looking after the grown users who are crypto based they might have taken such decision to create their own currency.

But I am pretty sure that they will come to an end with failure because people mostly who are engaged with Facebook are real people with just photos sharing attitude and whose got how many likes kind of attitude!

Im sure they wont even see it as beneficial for themselves. Facebook should also keep their path as clean as heaven otherwise users may go away from it.

for now there has been no related developments about facebook.
maybe facebook team is preparing to make its  virtual currency. if they succeed, this is good news. Good luck

[appleyard]

In the messenger
You will noticed that there is peso sign or a dollar sign in the buttom of the message box.  
then if you tap that you will see somethong like this. (See image below) i think if they implement thier coin the list of payment and money sharing link in that box will be replace with thier coins.

Bitcoin is developed now as it is, I don't see any problems about the site of Facebook nowadays and if you are talking about their digital currency, it is a long news from now and it is been circulating the internet even last year, we are talking about the news about the currency but not the currency itself. With a lot of users of Facebook, I think it will be popular to them since you can just send your money through Facebook.

[taeewo]

That doesn't stop them from creating their own coins, we all need to understand the reason facebook ban crypto ads is just to protect his users from scam and misleading project ,when there is regulation and all ico are screened properly by SEC, am certain they will accept the ads again...

[Gyromancer]

As far as I know, facebook does not ban ads about crypto currency. The evidence, I can still follow the social media campaign (facebook) to promote certain crypto currency token. If facebook prohibits advertising crypto currency then it brings losses to facebook itself. You can imagine how many people are involved in crypto currency. They certainly use facebook as well as a campaign media for bounty campaign. If facebook ban it then facebook will lose millions of users. Even now, facebook is still open with crypto currency. For facebook that will create a new crypto currency, I think that it's a great breakthrough. An innovative renewable technology, hopefully facebook coins can compete with other crypto currency.

[nazarovv]

If facebook do make their own coin, it will not be good for them. Facebook was made to be free, making a digital money probably to avail some services for the facebook will just make people think fb is there to get money from its consumers/

[jackky]

I don't think so.
Because facebook has banned the advertising of ICO, they do not need to raise money through ICO.

You're right. Facebook is the largest social networking company in the world. So they will never need to raise funds by ICO. If there is a Facebook ICO project then surely it is a project scam

[Missterio]

Of course it will be. I think it will be a very popular coin. Because the Facebook brand is already known all over the world. And if there's anything associated with it, I think it's going to be very popular

[Enijesiku Sulaimom]

Though it not worthy enough for facebook to issue its own coin since facebook itself is issue free and generating fund through ads and but if facebook now issue its own coin it will serve of another means of gaining popularity for bitcoin cos more and more people will be ready to venture into bitcoin.
