Facebook is planning to launch its own cryptocurrency in early 2020, allowing users to make digital payments in a dozen countries.

The currency, dubbed GlobalCoin, would enable Facebook’s 2.4 billion monthly users to change dollars and other international currencies into its digital coins. The coins could then be used to buy things on the internet and in shops and other outlets, or to transfer money without needing a bank account.

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and chief executive of Facebook, last month met the governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, to discuss the plans, according to the BBC.

I don’t get why they went the route of stable coin bullshit coin when they could inventivize social media engagement with a rewards token a la BAT. They could totally use that model to gameify posting and reacting to posts with a token offering financial incentive.

Giving zuckerberg the ability to print his own currency with a highly suspect kikey name is a great move. Let us all give him our full support.
