For Facebook, this is of course a good opportunity to get new sources of income. If it happens, I hope fbcoin will just take its place in the top 10, Bitcoin will remain the leader in the crypto market.

Too late. They most likely missed the crypto train. Banning crypto ads and accounts damaged their reputation and it wasn't already in a good shape before it.

It will still create some hype however. It still has a name which is worth millions of dollars. Just a name...
I don't think it's too late for Facebook, we know that Facebook has a big name even though it actually tarnished in the crypto world, but I'm sure with the big steps and seriousness that the Facebook party will take a lot of big investors come and this will be truly extraordinary.

I think they will not participate in the crypto market. Because this is a decentralized market and the Facebook token price will be easily manipulated. Large technology businesses will not want to enter the crypto market because the stock market is the best and safest place for them.

I am sure that one of the aim of facecoin is to make money but at the same I don't think it can't replace bitcoin.

It is never been late for Facebook to join the blockchain ecosystem, this is gonna be a serious project and a really good investment that's for sure with a very trusted although a peeping tom facebook. Gotta jump right at this, raising money would be very easy according to my feelings alone lol.

Facebook has no problems with monetization of its product, and the money collected, if they are charged, something like a dividend, may well go to the purchase of the next promising projects

When a big and huge company as this come out to launch its own crypto then the investors can be sure of making profits even though its not coming as early as that but at the long run, it would pay off.

I agree with your opinion, it seems like Facebook is going to build something much more ambitious than just a stablecoin. Maybe it will be some kind of platform like TON.

Lots of people saying that the facebook is too late for the saying welcome in to the cryptocurrency market but i don't agree with them. I believe that Mark Zucherberg was waiting the right time and finally dediced to came into crypto World. As far as i know the facebook crypto total worth 1 billions of dollar and no one invest that kind of Money when it was late. I am sure it's on time!

Can someone just please explain to me what Facebook coin will be used for ? Because I think it doesn't make sense to released a coin for Facebook ,if every one keeps saying Facebook coin will grow better are they saying that because of  Facebook popularity as a social media ? Will the coin be used for means of payment? Well we have thousands of coins for means of payment ,it doesn't make sense
That is right, Facebook has a very large community that will give them the necessary boost they need to push up to the top 10 coins in the market, if they come out as utility coin than strictly attaching it to Facebook alone, they might end up removing ethereum from its top list.

Ethereum has total of 35 million active wallets which automatically means 35 million active users, while Facebook has about 2.3 billion active monthly users, that is like one third of the world’s population which at least 5% of them are already into cryptocurrency, imagine what they would do with the remaining 95%, at least 50% of their users will get exposed to cryptocurrency through them giving the market capitalization a massive boost which they will make Facebook coin their priority aside Bitcoin, because BTC will always be the NO 1 priority

They are seriously entered into this field that's why they are doing this stuff like this and it will definitely be in a good investment and the coin was definitely been possibly more valuable when it launched and I think this also one of the important in cryptocurrency in the future

Yesterday I created a topic here about Facebook Coin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5129560.20

After that Nathaniel Popper, a NYTimes reporter that covers crypto, said Facebook is raising money for its crypto project. Seems like I may not be wrong in my article.
Here and here:

I can't see other reason for Facebook to be raising money if its not to back its own decentralized crypto. FB wouldn't need to raise to issue a stablecoin.
Everybody in the original topic said FBCoin couldn't replace bitcoin. While I agree that the ultimate store of value will remain BTC, I think FBCoin could easily surpass BTC in daily usage and, therefore, market cap.

I ran some numbers and I think its possible that FBCoin launches with around 300B USD market cap and reaches 1T in a few months. I'm comparing to HKD M0/M1 and HKMA's stability fund.
But I think FB should raise at least 10B to cover the initial stage of running a "sovereign" fund to stabilize the currency against extreme volatility, like I wrote in my article: https://medium.com/blockchain-positive/how-facebook-coin-can-help-billions-of-people-by-not-being-a-stablecoin-d780b6579e93


Brace yourselves, new times are coming.


This will be a huge news likely to break the centralized world. It will send a huge positive message describing cryptocurrency and blockchain as truly the currency of the internet. This has been long coming. Mark Zuckerberg sister is already an advisor on another Crypto project called Pledgecamp

i think facebook coin will be strong enough to survive in bear market today, it will be one of top 10 coin because facebook have many user on their platform.

Funny that FB started to ban everything that was connected with Bitcoin. They decided to do it on purpose, as we understand, to promote their coin. Actually, I do not know much about it.

As I am aware they are raising $1 billion and it will be a stable coin. Facebook has 2.27 billion active
monthly users, so entering the market it will be a huge step towards mass adoption of crypto.

I have not really catch a glimpse of where and how they are raising the fund, which means are they using to raise the fund and where on their site its stated, are they raising fund through ICO or IEO, we need to know this.

But, if it’s true that they are raising fund for their own coin, it will really be a very big project that will surely be accepted by many people and they will get big investors, Facebook has overtime grown a very large database and just an announcement is enough to get the fund required from there users that are mostly active 2 hrs a day. So, I am really eager to get more information on their modes of operations.

I think they had still the chances to get the success for their cryptocurrency but it take some time to reach in the centre of the people but once they get involved with their definitely accepted as like the previous cryptocurrency.

Facebook is indeed late in starting cryptocurrency but with very large Facebook community I think Facebook will quickly catch up with them, we can only see what will happen on next few years

I don't know just applying common sense makes this all a little untrustworthy.

First off, why would facebook need to fundraise in order to create their own coin?
They certainly have enough capital.
Perhaps they are trying to grow a community?
But, don't they already have the largest online community in the world?

Blockchains cost very little to make.
Anyone can make it, the technology is open source after all.
IT would take very little development and investment time for them to come up with their own.

Also, what would be the purpose of FB coin?
Transactions don't need the blockchain.
Blockchain is for open sourced, decentralized, anonymous transactions.
Kinda goes against facebooks centralized business model yeah?

Wait a minute, are you kidding me or are you saying the truth because if they are going to do that, it would be very unprofessional because since the beginning of us hearing about this news, we have never seen an official announcement from facebook confirming that they are going to create their own coin and they have not make a statement to deny it too that means mark is really working on it, though I don't know what kind of coin they are trying to create, whether they are creating a digital coin for their purpose or a blockchain coin.
