1) The most important component of the upcoming $FB stablecoin will be the loyalty/rewards system, which is critical to getting to the front of the consumer wallet. Ads tie-in is an interesting idea and could become a significant barrier to entryhttps://t.co/umgWiYR485 https://t.co/TyZPbB7iQL

If Facebook is indeed aiming to eliminate credit card fees with its new crypto payment network, it raises the question of how it hopes to make money from the thing, especially if it comes alongside the company granting its users privacy and giving up surveillance revenue. https://t.co/2evAlEgYJK

If this report is right, FB Coin will *not* be competing with Bitcoin.
— Nathaniel Whittemore (@nlw) May 3, 2019
It will compete w/:
1. Most: USDC, TrueUSD, etc (regulated stablecoins)
2. A bit: USD (ie. kids load accounts with extra-parent ZuckBucks)
3. A bonus: Google (leverage for ad wars ) https://t.co/E1fXbcvi6x

One idea under discussion is Facebook paying users fractions of a coin when they view ads, interact with other content or shop on its platform — not unlike loyalty points accrued at retailers, some of the people said.$FB https://t.co/qiLjLSomzK
I've been saying for years that crypto will captured by state & corporations because this community is not able to organize itself effectively with a political motive, instead kowtowing to regulators & power https://t.co/P9vPlbe6kN

With institutions clamoring to get exposure to crypto and sitting on piles of cash coupled with their general lack of knowledge/mistrust of traditional cryptos (Bitcoin et al.), I imagine $FB could fill out a billion dollar round in about 20 minutes.https://t.co/l2frQ1zGtf
