Facebook will (probably) be a huge force in payments and they do not need crypto.
FB is highly centralized and doesn't respect privacy, why would they need an alt coin?
Yeah, you're right. Also Facebook buys everything Whatsapp, Oculus Rift etc.

If I was Facebook CFO this is what I would do

1 Buy Bitcoin

2 Implement Bitcoin feature into Facebook

3 Profit
quite a fascinating Idea..! but when you are already too rich most of time you don't give a f about how much pennies you'll make..! FB will try to release its own coin if they ever feel like doin so.

If facebook creates their own coin, one of their board members is going to be unhappy I imagine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Andreessen

It's also possible they will do BTC...

facebook not creating their own crypto blockchain. they are simply expanding the utilities of their facebook credit database to allow withdrawals of 'credits' value and not just purchasing credits

people are passionate and promote bitcoin because it is anti government and anti banker and anti centralization, it gives the power of money and seniorage back to the people

facebook coin is just any other banker/centralized currency.... yawn

Am not much of a user of facebook so am not that familar with its possibilities

However would it not just be a case of someone making a facebook app that utilizes a blockchain.info wallet.

This should be pretty easy to do I think ?

With more than 1 billion active mobile users, Facebook has the kind of scale to make any e-payments service jealous, but it could be years before the company gets that other important feature to running a viable financial business: trust.

Facebook has been working since at least late last year on a European-wide service that would allow end users to store and transfer money on Facebook, according to a source in the financial services industry with knowledge of Facebook’s plans.
