"Why or why not?"
decentalization is what crypto is all about - Yeah, I really hope this whole space can stay that way. 🙏
I’m very interested to see what this monster changes, 🤯- Well we do know that they definitely mean business. It would not be small scale for sure.
Facebook crypto coin can help To make bitcoin and altcoins more known. And can give trust To crypto. - True, I think that it'll help shine the spotlight on the crypto industry.
i totally support any initiative by any company or government to adopt blockchain any ways... adoption by facebook will bring much needed recognition.. also after this i expect all others like apple, google, microsoft, samsung & several others to make their plans public. for those who think this is centralised, BITCOIN is always there & will remain a GOLD standard... - I believe so too. I just hope that people educate themselves about decentralization and how important it is. 🤓
i Think every crypto is important. If Facebook coin brings awareness to the space it’s good for us all. At some point one of the crypto’s is going to turn that light switch on so everyone can see the future. - Agreed.
We need decentralization for a better world - Amen to that. 🙏
It seems like this goes against all crypto is for, and seems to be a threat to crypto in my opinion. I speculate that a lot of Global companies will use it though for transacting as they have more trust in the likes of Google, Facebook, Apple etc. than decentralised crypto. - I can see that happening too IMO. And so I think the space needs to place more emphasis on education so that the public will be aware of the downsides of centralization. 🤓
I think there fb coin plans to be a good stable coin pegged to multiple currencies. It's not intended to be a crypto currency . Mostly it's going to be centralised but whatever this coin is going to create lot of hype with the audience, not us decentralised crypts fans maybe but others. - The only upside I see from this all, is that more attention will be indirectly paid to crypto. Whether the space can maintain and convert that attention, is another story.
I would never trust Zuckerberg for any reason at all. He lacks any ethics at all. Crypto is supposed to be decentralized; not be meddled with by a huge multi-national corporation that will sell user data to cooperation's and governments to be illegally spied on. - Personally deleted Facebook cause of that dude. Im a one-strike kinda dude when it comes to privacy. 🙅
I support any investment in this space! This could take us away from tether and other stable coins! - They'll definitely manage it better than Tether. 🤣
May as well use currency. - lmao yeah.
I don't know enough about the Facebook coin to really form an opinion as to if I will use it or not. I can say with certainty though that the centralised / de-centralised aspect doesn't concert me at all. If it provides a real world utility and its solving a real world problem then it will be used. - Yeah, as long as it makes something more convenient, it's gonna be used.
Decentralization is the key! - 🔑
Zuckerburg's attempt to ruin crypto SHOULD NOT BE ENCOURAGED! - Sigh, that's why we gotta support truly decentralized initiatives in the space...
Lack of trust in FB - They be spyin all day 🧐

Today in history (1982), the "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" film, directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Henry Thomas and Drew Barrymore, was released. 👽
In today's newsletter, we will be covering Target creating an open source blockchain project for supply chain tracking, Zilliqa (ZIL) launching smart contracts on its platform and crypto news site CCN.com shutting down. Also, in our 'Tutorial Tuesday' section, we have another well put together educational video by crypto educational content provider, Goodbit!
In 2018, Target conducted a pilot test using blockchain technology to certify its paper products along the supply chain. That same blockchain technology, built on blockchain platform Hyperledger Sawtooth, is now made open source on GitHub as “ConsenSource”. 👍
As to why it was made open source, Crabb said that “... the largest obstacle to implementing a distributed ledger is getting multiple companies to agree on which data are stored in the blockchain and how the system will be operated and governed. To achieve this close interaction among corporate entities, many companies (including Target) see the most potential for enterprise blockchain initiatives as open source.” 👐
Also according to Crabb, Target will support the Hyperledger Grid, a project initiated in large part by Cargill, one of the Target’s main food suppliers.
According to Zilliqa's chief scientific officer Amrit Kumar, this achievement helps the team "realize our [their] vision of a better smart contract language, one built with greater security guarantees at the language level”.
According to Kumar, Zilliqa’s smart contracts are also amenable to formal verification and come with a suite of static analyzers that help spot potential bugs and issues in contracts. Further, the Scilla language is designed to handle different operational components, such as computation and communication with other contracts, in a “clean manner,” eliminating complex interleaving. 💪
According to founder Jonas Borchgrevink in a final post on the site, CCN first began as CryptoCoinsNews in the summer of 2013 and has been around for 6 years. He also said that they are the crypto-related news site with the highest amount of traffic worldwide, although other crypto news sites like CoinDesk and CoinTelegraph have been "friendly competitors" with them the past 6 years for the #1 Alexa spot.
Borchgrevink also illustrated through internal charts how the June 2019 Core Update, an update that Google claimed was “designed to improve our [their] results”, killed them and greatly reduce their search visibility.
