Mark Zuckerberg mentioned researching cryptocurrencies in his recent post. My bet is that someone mentioned him about Steemit and how fast it is growing and potentially can disrupt what Facebook is doing.
Also interesting read and point of view here.
In my opinion, Facebook will try to incorporate cryptocurrencies but they still won't get decentralization that is the core of all blockchains.
I see them having some sort of tokens for loyalties or games/apps within Facebook. But it would be great to see them join up with Steem community and create FB SMT on top of Steem.
Do you think SMT (Smart Media Token) is good fit for Facebook?
How do you see them utilize cryptocurrencies?
