Topic: Tech companies no longer "friends" - page 3. (Read 496 times)
Wasn't Facebook Libra a failed project and if somehow it's still around isn't it a failing project, I think other companies that big will think about that when they try to go into crypto-currency, anyways I don't think the should try crypto-currency, maybe for the future the allow the use of Crypto-currency, but not as far as to create theirs, They are a company with their services, not a FINTECH.
The "FAANG" (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) are now near a monopolistic position in their core areas and they are using it to make extra profits. But the are winds of war, e.g. Apple disallowing segmentation for Facebook and Google or charging in in-app purchases to third parties.
Apart from Facebooks try with Libra, is there anyway they could start competing on the blockchain world? My take is that they should.
I think big tech companies might compete over it, looks like something likely to happen in the future. But the thing with these companies is that they're being very careful about cryptocurrencies. I remember somewhere in 2019 FB banned crypto-related ads, but then, some time later they revoked this ban.Apart from Facebooks try with Libra, is there anyway they could start competing on the blockchain world? My take is that they should.
So, as far as I know, not one of these tech companies expressed a strong position, either positive or negative, regarding crypto. Taking into account the latest events, however, it seems like at some point at least one of them will take some actions. The question is, who'll be the first? And when that happens, I think the game will be ON and others will join in as well.

The big fours never like each other for many years and now they have to face the biggest competition who might take over their places: Elon Musk. This man with his disruptive technologies have the possibilities to change the world in the most innovative ways while those current BIG FOURS will soon become obsolete and collapse
These 5 companies got different projects as of now. But as time goes by, for sure they will start something new. Just like Facebook, they started Facebook itself as a social media platform, and then they acquired some non-social media-related platform like Whatsapp or Oculus VR.The big fours never like each other for many years and now they have to face the biggest competition who might take over their places: Elon Musk.

The future projects or future features on their current product/services will be a threat to each other soon.
Blockchain projects are really possible for these big companies, but I think it will take time as these companies seem likely don't want decentralized, time will come.
This is why it is always easier to first acquire companies that you know of and then you could end up with doing something much easier with that, then when you grow super big, you could get smaller unrelated companies which would help you a lot as well, that is the type of improvements you should do and not go into something else right away on day one since it would really destroy all of your momentum.
They are all American companies, all of them are also globally positioned and make huge profits - I don't see why it is important for their relationship to be anything more than professional. Furthermore, the blockchain is open source and anyone can experiment with it, whether FB or Google does it, is completely irrelevant - the key thing is whether these companies see some profit in it.
If we take FB as an example, we can conclude that all other companies will go for some centralized solution, and we can bet that all these companies are working on it. What seems less likely to me is that, say, Apple will invest in BTC just because some shareholders would not like it, and one of the biggest is the well-known Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway).

I think the war they show us is just external, internally they all work together to gain data and make as much profits as they can 
but, with course of time, and as history tells us, nothing is permanent and all companies will have their decline phases, sooner or later. I don't really think they will all come to blockchain to fight because the system here is very different than from what they are used to. And the marketplace for crypto is very different from that of fiat at the moment.

And the marketplace for crypto is very different from that of fiat at the moment. They will be competitors at some point but they will always work together in some areas. As for me, they wouldn't be competitors when it comes to blockchain since most of them are into Bitcoin. Facebook might have Libra yet other platforms would still recognize other coins especially Bitcoin. There will come a time wherein they will adopt more cryptocurrencies in the future.
Big companies that will be entering the crypto market by means of their own stable coin won't be something that is well welcomed by the crypto industry IMO as most investors that are already in the crypto market is looking for new opportunities to grow their money and putting it in something that is "stable" won't make them interest in investing onto it. We have seen how countries have rejected Libra onto their country and we have seen a lot of negative comments against it so this will be the same for others who will try to create their own crypto.
They want to become more powerful than ever, those companies are greedy as well so they might be partners in paper but of course their goal is to be on the top spot. Facebook made a good move in terms of adopting cryptocurrency however, they failed to execute it properly because Libra was being pressured by its own government, only if those companies can depend their purpose well, I'm sure they are on a big war right now.
Apart from Facebooks try with Libra, is there anyway they could start competing on the blockchain world? My take is that they should.
We might see that soon, PayPal's entry into Cryptocurrency is a huge success and so is Elon Musk, I'm sure these big companies are thinking their entry into Cryptocurrency, but they have to do fix their issues with regulators if they cannot address this, it will not happen, Facebook is going all out in their entry for the second time in Cryptocurrency.
Apart from Facebooks try with Libra, is there anyway they could start competing on the blockchain world? My take is that they should.
I guess that it's just a matter of time until all of them will have their own stablecoin or similar, of course that this will be done for their own profits.
But I'm almost sure they will be completely centralized projects, hence there's a good chance they will not use blockchain at all for this, unless they want maybe to allow 3rd party dApps...

They might experiment on blockchain right now and we do not know what happens in their deep labs. Just wait and see how those monopolies do to take over others' positions.

The article talks about making IDFA opt-in for users. So you can choose for an app to track you and your usage. The scourge of "personalized targeted advertisement" is doing a lot of damage to us as individuals and overall as society. Facebook and Google have become the main benefactors and perpetrators of this trend.
If Apple actually follows this in spirit, I may actually invest to buy an Apple phone rather than letting all of these companies turn us into entertained, consumerist zombies. While this has little relevance to blockchain, this must be made mandatory for all smart devices.

Probably in terms of advertising, but I'm surely believe that they'll continue with their partnerships since they benefited on each other. Some might ahead to the other in terms of adoption but sooner or later, those company will do the same thing and the other company have no more choice but to accept their new terms and conditions, so for me they'll still be friends.
Them Tech companies buying bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as their reserved asset can be a way for them to start competing. They want to get more bitcoin/cryptocurrency than the other Tech company which means that they can grow the company's networth. They can also use blockchain to integrate in their own e-commerce websites.

Apart from Facebooks try with Libra, is there anyway they could start competing on the blockchain world? My take is that they should.
