If facebook did something silly like make an altcoin I think that would just give more credibility to BTC and would backfire.  I don't think that would be there plan but maybe I've over looked somthing.

Thanks for the Article OP, always appreciated.

Coindesk is talking about it now too:

As far as I can tell no one sees direct competition to bitcoin, but it will be a good long-term test of centralized systems versus decentralized systems for online currencies.

Still not many details yet.


you don't think they just maybe expand their existing system

It's actually called FBCoin (FBC) and will be a POW/POS hybrid with 100,000,000 coins mined in the beginning, then switching to purely POS. The coin logo will have an image of Beast (Zuck's dog) on it with a Facebook Blue background..

Imagine a "pay" button on Whatsapp or Facebook chat. The problem with cryptos is usability. Whoever spoonfeeds it to the masses will dominate for a long time to come. This is the sole reason I own Facebook stock... if they partner with a payment system, they will dominate.

Apparently Facebook is about to enter the remittance market by opening a financial service out of Ireland:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2143200/report-facebook-about-to-enter-emoney-market-in-europe.html

Doesn't say in what currency. I'd guess they'll limit to Euros at the start?  Very odd.
