what is your take on whatsapp token?

[Mpamaegbu]

It's owned by Meta(Facebook).

Honestly, I thought that by now the name change would've been properly effected. Anyway, whatever that's delaying it, only Zuckerberg with his team knows. On the WhatsApp token, I think it's still a far dream. Until those proposing it wake up to pursue it, I'm classing it as the elusive Libra projected muted by Zuckerberg himself. Besides all that, I don't even think WhatsApp is exceptional to draw more attention. If it were to be Telegram, I would've been anxious for it to come to the market. I rate Telegram well above WhatsApp.

What could they possibly do with a token on whatsapp no clear use case or any better connection I think they will just focus on their metarverse integration than other projects right now And Coin related to crypto is just not on meta list from my view

if there is really something like that,i’m gonna say that they are releasing such altcoin for the sake of adding features in their apps. trust me it’s gonna be used just for like paying some stickers and some gimmicks like that, although it could be used just like any ordinary tokens and maybe altcoins, it’s gonna be having very limited feature, it’s gonna be more or less the same as the existing tokens and altcoins, if you are expecting some kind of return of investment from it, i think this kind of altcoins released by big companies like facebook like this gonna be a lot more centralized and probably going to be just like any other stablecoins out there.
you shouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t meet your expectation because volatility is gonna be something that they hate.

that will happen when it was officially released by that company but it's sad to say that this is just another scam token which was not worth to be considered as a place to invest your money. Someone made a thread about that and this is confirmed as a scam token offering, stay away

[Ngemmeng]

honestly I don't understand what you mean and I don't know about the whatsapp token you are talking about.
is this the token that will be released by the whatsapp team? then what are the advantages of holding this token for whatsapp users?
I suggest you stay careful if you find whatsaap tokens like you are talking about because I read some comments in this thread saying most likely the token is a scam.

[kojektea]

I think the whatsapp token will be the same as the token created by facebook, they have the same CEO now, of course it will be a fast ROI and big profit, only I think big cryptocurrency projects usually have problems with regulation, I hope they can overcome it.

This is the second time in this forum that I’m seeing someone creates a thread and talking about WhatsApp coin. I don’t even know how they are getting such information, because there is nothing like that. The only coin that Facebook has ever tried to release, which we all know wasn’t a success, was Libra, which they later named Diem.

But, the project wasn’t a success due to the government never permitted it to happen. Now, Facebook has transitioned to Meta, which we all know today and it has been a trend. So there is nothing about WhatsApp token that is going to take place, because facebook is focused now on their new project which is  the Metaverse.

If the concept is still not clear then its development will also be halted this year, but if their concept has started to clear the direction, I don't think there will be any problems as long as the team is willing to do hard work to advance their coins in the crypto space through everyone's trust

[Teraboy]

No no no no that's wrong. This token was not real and this is a scam token. If you are reading the whole thread carefully and then you will be facing that if this this token created by scammers and it's doing ico right now.

they have the same CEO now, of course it will be a fast ROI and big profit, only I think big cryptocurrency projects usually have problems with regulation, I hope they can overcome it.

There's no need to discuss even to the CEO. What you need to do to read the whole thread carefully and i hope that you will get your own answer. someone already made a scam awareness thread for this shit scam token.

[Doell]

there are so many coins brand popular platforms to profit from investors who do not understand the authenticity of a product ,whatsapp probably won't launch a separate token because in this news https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/12/09/metas-whatsapp-to-trial-novi-digital-wallet/ in short "will try usdp to be able to transact on whatsapp through the novi wallet platform"

[dezoel]

Well, it seems like I’m missing something in the market. When was the WhatsApp coin released?
Because, I never get to hear anything about WhatsApp coin, and neither did Facebook announce that they are releasing a coin that is called WhatsApp token or coin, it wasn’t announced on the WhatsApp app and it wasn’t even announced on the Facebook app.

If Facebook was going to do such a thing then they would have announced it on any of their platforms, especially the Facebook social media app which has lots of users, as a way to let their users know that  such thing is being released. But there was no time that they made such announcement, so if he had seen such a coin that goes by that name , then it’s probably fake.

WhatsApp is a popular and as such we expect that if they are actually going into crypto - to own a token, then it should be in the popular news websites. To own a token requires that you need people to buy the token. We expect such move to be in the news. Secondly. there are many fake crypto websites in recent times that adopt major company names, some of the companies they use their names are not even into crypto. That is why websites like Coinmarketcap (CMC) are very useful as they help to locate the original website(s). In my opinion, I don't think WhatsApp have ventured into crypto, If they have, it will be in major news websites. Currently, WhatsApp is owned by Meta Incorporated, which also owns Facebook, Instagram and others.

[bitbollo]

be cautious! it's not the first time scammers are targeting famous brand or famous company to promote some scam.
my personal suggestion is to not believe to such claims without making a proper research on their website.
about whatsapp there is nothing on line. the last news crypto related is old - 3 months and no tokens are launched... https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/9/22825766/whatsapp-novi-digital-payments-us-pilot-paxos-stablecoin

A “limited number” of people in the US send and receive money from within a chat using cryptocurrency.

There is a very high chance that this coin is nothing more but a scam, and by that I mean I am sure of it, as something as big as that will probably be announced by the CEO of Facebook and make a great deal out of it, and since that is not the case then we can assume this is a scam coin.

However despite how evident this is for us I am sure there are going to be people that are going to fall in this scam and lose their money, as the name of the coin by itself is going to be enough to convince them to put their capital in it.

[asriloni]

I dont think whatsapp i.e., facebook token u r talking about. Facebook mark zukerberg already decided not to come to crypto anytime sooner.

Yeah, this is what I'm thinking about. I never heard about this news before and people are getting fooled by fake token from the scammer. it seems that he was talking about the scam token that launched by scammer and it just speculate if that was coming from the meta company as parent company from the whats app. It's clear that what's app token is not even exist in and speculating about this token will be wasting our time only. I think that people have not yet realized this.

This token has nothing to do with Meta (Facebook). The main goal of the organizers of this coin is to mislead market participants using a well-known brand. After all, whatever the attitude to Zuckerberg, this name is associated with success and, accordingly, there will be many who want to buy a real coin from such a well-known company.

[zonefloor]

I don't know how you reached this source, but there is no such news. At least, I haven't seen any up-to-date information or news about it. If such a thing exists, we are talking about whatsapp, it will definitely be a very good money return. As a result, WhatsApp belongs to Mark Zuckerberg and I think it will finance it very well. But I don't trust him at all in the crypto money field. But as I said at the beginning, there is no such information yet, and most likely the scammers contacted you and they want to take your money.

[n0ne]

Don't get into traps, because Meta who is the head of WhatsApp have already given a clarity that they are not into development of cryptocurrency. During the year 2017 they started working on Libra, later it got partnered with eBay, PayPal, mastercard and different service providers. Libra faced regulatory issues and it once again cleared that Libra will be launched only after the fulfillment of regulations. Further the same got rebranded as Diem to overcome the regulatory challenges. This year the project have been sold to Silvergate Capital. So far there is nothing with tokens related to WhatsApp and it's sister concern.

[Mpamaegbu]

This token has nothing to do with Meta (Facebook).

I don't know what's still keeping the name change or swap, officially. Everytime I log into my account, I expect to see Facebook changed to Meta. But it hasn't happened. Who knows when 🤷

You won't believe it; there are people who will fall for this cheap scam. Come to think of it, WhatsApp is overrated. There are better chat apps than WhatsApp, both for business and informal use.

After all, whatever the attitude to Zuckerberg, this name is associated with success

But of course, it wouldn't be all rosy for Mark Zuckerberg. There must exist element of failure in his career, howbeit, which may not be well pronounced. Whatever happened to the aborted Libra.

[Al Qiyamah]

I tried to find the name of the Whatsapp token on CoinmarketCap and it doesn't exist either. If this is true token fraud means they have also violated the law for using other people's brands for their criminal purposes. It's really dangerous if it's true that they are currently holding an ICO and people who don't know will be trapped because the popularity of whatsapp is very interesting. That is the importance of analyzing first before deciding to invest.

The fact is that you are confusing the Meta company with the Facebook social network, in which you obviously have an account. It was the Meta company that was previously called Facebook. Thus, Meta Platforms is currently the owner of social networks such as Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp.
