VK Coin?

[rosezionjohn]

The Russian social media giant VK has launched its mineable internal currency called VK Coin. Anyone saw this coming? While all the buzz was on Facebook and its plan to launch its own cryptocurrency, it appears that VK has been planning to launch first and beat FB

You said that it is mineable, so probaly it will not be backed like Facebook coin, right?
What is the purpose of this coin? Nothing? Only backed by a big company promises?

If it really happens, then I think it will be positive for cryptocurrency currency. But honestly, I think that this coin will be very little like Bitcoin.

Good development for the crypto world, but I guess we need more.

I think this will be a very good thing if Russia also launches its own digital currency, and I am very sure it will be able to beat Facebook grin for the future.

My take on this is -  just another crypto adoption by a known social media network.
This would create mass adoption for its users. But I don't know how far is the reach of VK, in terms of the number of users?
They should create a valid reason why it should exist. Otherwise, this is just another project riding the hype of crypto projects.

They just beat FB because they are earlier to announce. While facebook, gave some hint but there's no final words from them. All they do was to hire some blockchain engineers and specialists but we just can't be sure if they really are planning out for their own crypto.

This is just another altcoin that will have to pair with bitcoin but if VK will have its usecase to the level that their users will enjoy it and at the same time treats it as precious coin for their platform, it will be huge success for them.

Same lol. I created one months ago but never really used it. I don't know if I even have the correct password now. I might have to make a new one just because of this news 


The article isn't sure whether it'll be traded with cryptocurrencies but I'm still thrilled with this one.

Apparently, they do not want to lag behind Telegram and Facebook! In general, it is very good, the more the crypto will enter our life, the faster all our tokens will go into circulation

I do not have the exact numbers but it should be less than Facebook. Nevertheless, I believe they still have a bigger user base compared to existing blockchain-based social media platforms.

Correct! The article did mention some uses of the VK internal currency. We'll probably find out more details in the coming days.

I see this is a relatively large communication network. In the future it will defeat facebook and twitter

[Yudhisthir]

VK though unknown to many has a deep presence in Slavic community and it's gaining attention worldwide.
Though it still looks like a copy of Facebook, in contrast to Facebook, VK is more dedicated in fulfilling the users wish and has long stopped copying facebook and making R&D on their own. And now the tokenization of the economic parts of VK would surely attract more users and advertisers.

  This is a symbol of the fact that everything can change soon. That is, when such giants open the doors to the world of cryptocurrency. Millons users will be able to imbued with the idea and Bitcoin will cost $ 1,000,000 Joke. But everything is possible.

[shakesbear]

This is stupid, why VK does its coin, it seems to me they are completely not thought through how to apply this coin, just someone decided that it would be cool to run his internal coin.

[hongus]

Great news. Because this is a new generation of cryptocurrency. They will bring changes to the market. Money and new technologies. I support these projects.

[okala]

Highly interesting news because while we all were expecting the Facebook coin then VK another giant in the media lunch their own minable coin from such strong region as Russia. I will really be looking forward to how the coin progress in the future.

[trudovik]

There is a lot of information, but as far as I understand today, it’s just tokens that are worth nothing and will not be worth it to social network tokens, but for some reason people just don’t understand that they really will have real opportunities later.

[Coinraptor]

I have read the news yesterday and felt great. Because I thought this year crypto will get massive adoption and it is really happening! After FB coin, JPM coin announcement and now the VK coin! It's like the big and famous person is involving in the crypto industry to obtain and support the great blockchain technology! Soon or later, everybody will realize blockchain and cryptocurrency is needed for everyone, and it is a better option for the world.

This is very good news for the crypto community. VK is the most popular social network not only in Russia but also in many countries. And if we make a top 10 popular social newtroking site worldwide, then VK will be one of the top 6! So, If they really come in the crypto industry that will be a big announcemnet to the world about crypto! I think after VK, Reddit coin will be the next! Actually, Reddit should come with a coin because it is a safe place for crypto discussion after all crypto related forums!
