RE: [Vlog] Facebook CEO Zuckerburg talks cryptocurrencies and decentralising power - should we take him seriously?

in #vlog7 years ago

Nah he is probably still pissed at the winklevoss twins who will outdo him. Also too busy spying on us or helping people spy on us.

Sort:  

I don't trust him too. But I still think he knows that decentralization will be the new thing, and that it is much better than the current system. "If you can't beat them, join them" I think that is his strategy.

LOL, decentralization will kill Facebook. If they really decentralize their platform, they're gonna have only a fraction of their current profits, zero censorship power, and a tendency to disappear.
They're only making a marketing campaign with this, and they'll probably try to fool noobs, like those who buy into Bitconnect and Ripple, lol.
If you want true decentralized technology, think in IPFS, SIA, BarterDEX, and many more. A lot of new projects.

Might be the only way they could survive when all these other new techs come out like Sia etc. These guys know where this market is going and their all trying to get a piece of the pie.

Plus NSA and other such powerful organisations wil never let Facebook ever get decentralized, so all of this is a total joke..

That's the point. We share opinions. Facebook (Mark) proved itself unworthy regarding cryptocurrency as he is always talking in context of facebook appraisal. So, it is a great marketing campaign, as always. He never talks about what he truly believes, rather speaks to benefit from it. (Not that most people would do differently, as it brings him tons of money)

I agree, Bill Gates was the first to understand that Crypto has power to change the world in any term. Altho its not clear yet that how crypto will help some industries. As per now which I understand is that you can start your own project and ask for fund from the crypto networks, Which ICO's are doing right now. So many new good project we have seen in the past few months. Ether, Smart Contract System, Bitcoin Secure Payment, Finance industry is very thankful of Crypto world that new investors came out. New Age was almost forgetting stock market and they don't even who what is Bond now a days except that they read it.

Sorry for a large comment. But the point is there is more to come related to crypto world. Stay tuned and All the investors and People in crypto check each and every news because may change your future life.

Nothing stopping him from coming up with his own coin. With the power of Facebook behind it, it would definitely make a splash!

The whole point of blockchain and cryptos is not relying on the "power" of big corporations. It's a peer-to-peer technology.

I don't think he will go with his own coin.. he is probably going to ask his VC at coinbase to get him good deal with an already hyped coin.. and that coin will totally go the moon..

Yeah, I have absolutely NO confidence that dude cares at all about "the people". It's all about making money. He's hopping on a bandwagon.

I don't mind his supporting the crypto space.

same here.. but we all know he is not going to support it, if he really wanted to, don't you think he is wayyy more informed to not use cryptography and blockchain etc. until now..

I think he's smart enough to realize he doesn't have a choice. And that it's a better model for monetizing social media. He has the most to gain from this... if fb were to buy steemit, it would probably more than double the stock price.

Well put.. He doesn't have a choice.. That's for sure.. this is the future..

Not future, But Crypto has it own space in the future. like some gadget which we was not use too in 90's but we like to most today. (Mobile)

Yes! I agree with your view but its good for the community though

absolutely right, and it's absolute madness that all those people are voluntarily sharing their whole life with FaceBook

It's not totally true as he donated before

Yeah!! I'm agree...

follow me back

ye true....really waited for 2018..before coming to that idea? I think he felt something big is coming.......hmmmm

i am a fresh,i wanna make friends here

you are right dear

i think Mark Zuckerberg should not make a mistake of doing the same thing as steemit. Facebook as its own way of doing things which can not be similar to stemit. he should keep his original conception ideas and project on more other poweful options but not into cryptocurrencies.
my point is that if people are now paid on facebook which was not initially, this can cause confusion and social media deviation. for marc to be successful, he needed an original and strong idea. however, making the same thing as steemit will not increase anything on people and may lead to a decrease of facebook users.

i do think that Mark is really bright and all surrounded with thinkers and should try to bring something original and not copied. for example, including various options of cryptocurrency users to make exchange or Facebook can play as an intermediary between cryptocurrency users.

ended, if Mark Zuckerberg can turn facebook into a cryptocurrency thing then he should assume use more innovative ways to attract people.

Why not? He's made his fortune basically piggybacking off of other applications. Anyone remember MySpace?

I've heard that he will be supporting litecoin on facebook and not bitcoin to undermine the Winklevoss twins.

Why ally himself with any existing coin, his organization has the breadth and depth to come up with their own coin.

But do you think litecoin can really undermine the power and momentum of bitcoin? I think most of these cryptos rely heavily on the rallying power of bitcoin in the market

If facebook really did accept litecoin and not bitcoin that would send a strong market signal and expose it to more users as 1billion people use facebook. LTC went x50 last year bitcoin only x13 and it's loosing ground as it's too slow and expensive to move.

I hope the Winklevoss twins out do him by creating a better decentralized social network. :)

You mean, THIS TIME!
:P

if they were so smart they might have done it before facebook !

Y U yelling?

but that will be very good if that actually happen

follow me back

You're trying to Block(chain) me riiight?!?

He's only FOMOing a bit. It won't last. Or maybe they'll buy some legit project, just to turn it into centralized garbage, as always.
