How Will FB Coin/JPM Coin Impact the Cryptocurrency Ecosystem?

[DoublerHunter]

It depends on what would happen and what would the media and the government reactions with it. It could attract new investors our it would be questioned by the government. JP Morgan and Facebook are both excellent company with big influence rate. However, the government
could question them with this. Once they are questioned, they have to sign an agreement for the solution for that specific question the government will throw to them. So they need to regulate it and will make sure that they will operate with the favor of the government.

Taken from the article linked below, worth reading. Do you think the emergence of banking and corporate digital currencies will take away from the original cryptocurrencies or can they live in harmony?

There are over two thousand cryptocurrencies in the market today and none of them have made any major /noticeable changes in the market, so why do you think that the JP coin and the other one you have mentioned, what makes you think they are going to bring any changes from what we have been seeing? They are not bringing any changes, there are already projects from bigger companies and didn't make any big change, so these ones are bringing nothing. And I'm not even interested in any of those two that you have mentioned cause I don't think they are going anywhere. That's my take on this.

[gentlemand]

what makes you think they are going to bring any changes from what we have been seeing?  

Because they have billions of users they can shovel straight in to them.

Of those two thousand coins 95% or more are copy and paste pieces of junk put together by morons or pump and dumpers. They amount to less than nothing. The vast majority will never have had more than a thousand or two users, or rather gamblers, in total.

JPM coin looks like it's going to be interbank so the public will never touch it, but Facebook can plug in nearly half the population of the planet. You don't think that's going to have a teensy effect on something?

I'd be curious to know how many Facebook users have no access to decent banking but it must be a significant percentage.

[maldini]

With the news of Facebook entering the cryptocurrency network with its global coin people around the world could have known better about cryptocurrencies. JPM is speculated big as they are a big contributor to the economic cycle around the world. Global chain being a plan for stable coin and is much used on centralized platform it might get increased usage and doesn't gonna make a big impact over cryptocurrency.

I think crypto users will not boycott Facebook because the glocalcoin that will be published by Facebook is a centralized and stable currency. And if indeed that happens, it will not have a big effect on Facebook because, as I said above, globalcoin is a stable currency and glocalcoin is not traded like other crypto but for the business interests of Facebook users.

I don't think the Facebook GlobalCoin will pose much of a threat to bitcoin because it will be largely centralized and will simply be a stablecoin of a basket of leading fiat currencies. There will thus be no incentive for investors to use it unless moving funds between trades if they feel more secure with a basket as opposed to one particular fiat currency such as the U.S. dollar. So it can be seen as a hedge to U.S. dollar troubles.

Also, I expect this coin will be useful for those transmitting funds overseas, as presumably it will be much cheaper than using Western Union.

At this point we don't even know any technical details about these centralized coins, they can even not be cryptocurrencies at all and don't have blockchain, and instead just simply use words like "coin" to get publicity and ride the waves of rising crypto hype. Maybe it's not coincidence that it's all happening while Bitcoin entered another bull run, they were waiting for this moment specifically, instead of releasing their announcement during the crypto winter, when general investor's mood was skeptical.

[BrewMaster]

i have a theory about these coins in the long run and that says they are actually going to be very good for bitcoin!

you see, so far people were either unaware of bitcoin or have been hearing a lot of negative stuff about it and they believed most of them becasue they didn't understand how the blockchain technology works and they were skeptical about whether something like bitcoin could even work.

now these coins come in, they spend millions advertising the shit out of their coin and people will see the "blockchain technology" in action and realize how wrong all those FUDs were.
after they got rid of those misinformation they start seeing the reality and be able to really compare bitcoin with all these centralized company coins. and obviously bitcoin comes out a victor.

Satoshi's vission will still be alive once we begin to see DEX are better to use than those CEX. With the hacks of exchanges that has been going on every year, not all of them are confirmed hack but probably self claimed hack.Though not proven, its all clear that centralize exchange may not really work when certain authority is centered to one. The ecosystem shall be for the P2P and DEX will one day rule the crypto market.

Libra Coin (the cryptocurrency from Facebook) may be launched sometime in 2020, and there is a good chance that its launch might be delayed. Till now, JPM has not given any fixed date for the launch of its coin. So we still have approximately one year left (or maybe more). And by that time Bitcoin may climb to a new ATH and these coins may lag far behind.

[Ucy]

Nothing much in my opinion. It changes nothing at all. The coins are just like fiat currencies ... They won't stop me from using real cryptocurrency. I doubt they will stop  mass adoption of cryptocurrency

[coolcoinz]

It will only give the newcomers a wrong idea that cryptocurrency can and should be centralized. The average facebook addict/apple fanboy/starbucks drinker will follow his favourite companies and think he's cool for using a cryptocurrency, while in fact he could be using a stablecoin and living in denial. Using bitcoin is completely different from using a centralized stablecoin. This message should be made clear and reach as far as possible.

[Shinpako09]

It can go sideways, we don't know until we got there. One thing is for sure, others will know about crypto currency and later on, they will have an idea about the whole crypto currency thing. They will discover other coins as well and may see a better opportunity into other coins that will lead into higher demand.

[hurry_hore]

There are always positive and negative impact of something including this popular parties, facebook and JPM. Their popularity will impact crypto as well, not only their coins/tokens but previously their thought/idea. Now not only their idea but their coins/tokens, the most positive impact is increasing public trust to crypto. This is important as last year crypto world were attacked by scammed projects then public trust seems decreased.

[RealMalatesta]

I only think that with the presence of bitcoin and its success being used by many users in the past of 10 years, it has provided many innovations for a company. They rely on the company's big name to intend to replace bitcoin as a real payment system function. However, I'm still doubt of the success's GlobalCoin and JPM coin will be achieved because basically they have the same characteristics so as everyone who uses them doesn't choose both. As for an effect that will be given when these coins are used against market cryptocurrencies I pretty sure that they won't give a positive or negative effect on cryptocurrencies market. This is like USD coin or Teather that was before FB and JPM made it.

If Facebook thinks he can please the government by trying to create a global coin that will knock off Bitcoin, I guess he is just wasting his time, because when it comes to digital currency, there are so many means of making payments digitally and in a centralized way, so I wouldn’t see any importance for Facebook coin trying to make it global one when we all know that its coin will be more like a centralized coin.

People will simply just ignore this coin and then stick with most of the decentralized coin that has given them the power to be free completely from any third party involvement like government and authority.

I think we should wait it out. I mean many of us are too into this and I know its impossible to not make any comments or just let them be without any hurdles etc etc but I think the best case for us is for them to be hugely successful because if they do become hugely successful then we will be capable of saying that is thanks to crypto and more people will join us as well.

These are the tricks we need to use, help JP morgan build their coin, get facebooks coin to a famous spot, help banks and governments do great things with crypto and show our support for them. I know crypto in its core is against the "system" but if we trick the system into thinking we support them we would basically manage to make them join us while they are just doing simple researches.

It will surely do to a little extent, but based on my reasoning, I think in the end, it will still favor Bitcoin more, because when people  research and study blockchain/cryptocurrency, they will see that only Bitcoin is the one that is serving this real purpose which will make Bitcoin to always be relevant, it is even more dangerous and threatening to Bitcoin lifespan if they are doing exactly what Bitcoin is doing, at least, something must differentiate them, and in this case, it will be a centralized coin vs decentralized coin.

For Facebook, the only advantage I see here is that it will only end up being useful as means of cryptocurrency advert to the world out there.

With these circumstance you mentioned, if these centralized coins become an instant hit and many people gets introduced to the platform and you think that these people who are investing or using their platform really cares about the novelty of the system, all they care about whether they can profit out of it or whether these coins are useful for them, there is no hardcore fans of the platform, everyone is looking for their own profit if you look closely  .

[DreamStage]

From my perspective, in theory when a new coin starts some part of the crypto community moves to that coin just to help it getting pumped or with a significant amount of interest in waiting few days to see if it's really worth the time.

Based on that it will start as normal coins where excitement will be at it's top since basically Facebook Coin will be the most looked at one. And i am expecting much from them as it's the biggest social media of the planet which could influence cryptocurrency markets in every coin aspect.

Advertising such coin will advertise crypto currencies for everyone thus making for example Bitcoin even better in terms of price and market volume.

[Barbut]

More people will join cryptocurrencies, there will be more traders, more holders, more of everything. Some people will have that FB token and they will think about what they can do with it. Like we discovered cryptocurrencies, this will be new for all of them. Like some others are talking, people will dump their FB coins for bitcoin.
FB coin will be a threat for some coins, that`s for sure, but not for Bitcoin or Ethereum.

[congresowoman]

In my opinion, many have got the broad idea of a digital currency, and sooner or later, poeple would want to have it regulated to be able to also protect their own interests. FB coin or Libra what others may call it, is introducing a revolutionary coin that will be in a digital platform but a coin that will be stable as well. In this sense, this coin will require for a regulation that it will need to gather as much trust from the poeple as they can.
