RE: Meet The World's Next Central Banker: Mark Zuckerberg

in #facebook7 years ago

I've been thinking along similar lines....that in order for there to be mass adoption of crypto, people will have to feel that it's safe, legal, respected, normal, etc...and the way to do that is to have big names like FB put their weight behind them. That would be the way to subvert the anonymous potentials of crypto and decentralization and keep power in the hands of those who wish not to see their position disrupted. Facebook is more than just a business model...it's also a great tool for open source intelligence which I'm guessing will become more important to the power structure in comnmg times of crisis. Why not make people financially benefit from Facebook in the short run to keep the platform alive simultaneously pushing people into accepting crypto regulation, but in the long run, they become financially dependent on the addictive platform that also can be used for data mining political views? Indeed, once people are getting income from a platform that reportedly censors posts, it becomes one more mechanism for control.
