A couple of days ago Mark Zuckerberg made the following comments on his Facebook page.
.....many people now believe technology only centralizes power rather than decentralizes it.
There are important counter-trends to this --like encryption and cryptocurrency ....... I'm interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies, and how best to use them in our services.
Hmmm, so interested in crypto and how to best use them in their services. Do you think Mr Z thinks Steemit crypto payment for contributing is the future and is getting worried? Is this an opportunity for Steemit or a threat?
My personal take is that it is not necessarily a threat. People currently are choosing Steemit over Facebook and not just for the crypto payment carrot. Any introduction of cryptocurrency into Facebook would no doubt reference where the idea originated and would be a whole new level of exposure. What are you thoughts, could Facebook pull this off and if so, do we need to be worried?
Apologies if this has already appeared on Steemit, but I didn't see it discussed.
