If I was a Facebook Shareholder I would be dumping my shares tomorrow..!!

I am not entirely sure how many people have seen this, but I thought it was so important, that I felt compelled to share for those that may have missed it.

This is a very, very, very important message from Mark Zuckerberg and one that should not be brushed over, as it has HUGE implications for the Capital Structure and Market Valuation of Facebook.

As for Financial News in Social Media, it doesn't get BIGGER than this..!!

If I was a Facebook Shareholder, I would be dumping my shares the moment the bell rings tomorrow.

First of the all, the recent statement made by Mark Zuckerberg.

Facebook Statement

For example, one of the most interesting questions in technology right now is about centralization vs decentralization. A lot of us got into technology because we believe it can be a decentralizing force that puts more power in people's hands. (The first four words of Facebook's mission have always been "give people the power".) Back in the 1990s and 2000s, most people believed technology would be a decentralizing force.

But today, many people have lost faith in that promise. With the rise of a small number of big tech companies — and governments using technology to watch their citizens — many people now believe technology only centralizes power rather than decentralizes it.

There are important counter-trends to this --like encryption and cryptocurrency -- that take power from centralized systems and put it back into people's hands. But they come with the risk of being harder to control. 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.

This will be a serious year of self-improvement and I'm looking forward to learning from working to fix our issues together.

Dumping of Facebook Shares

As I mentioned earlier on in the Blog, I would be dumping my shares the moment the bell rings tomorrow, as this statement has MASSIVE RAMIFICATIONS on the Capital Structure and Market Valuation of Facebook.

Shareholders of Facebook who have purchased these Shares on huge forward looking valuations of income generated profits, have done so assuming that these profits will be shared across the Shareholders and Stakeholders.

This statement suggests that in the future Facebook will distribute a portion of these profits to the Content Creators.

This is massive, massive, massive news if you are a Facebook Shareholder.

Not wanting to be the one to be the bearer of possible bad news, but this has the potential to HALF THE VALUE of Facebook over night..!!

....and this is conservative, considering that the Market Valuation of Facebook is already way, way, way to high..!!

Once again, this is MASSIVE NEWS for anyone invested in Facebook.

Thanks again for reading.

Screw FB. Steemit is where it's at. I still don't know why so many people refuse to leave FB and head over to Steem. Maybe now that the price has climbed, they will be more interested.

That is really big news!!! I would'nt be surprised if Shareholders of Facebook now invests in Steem Blockchain...

Facebook is about to be replaced.

This is Steem. This is steem definitely it is steemit which is causing some boiling pressure under the hood of Facebook. Great success to Steemit community if its model is being discussed by pioneers.

It definitely sounded like they want to go the route of paying the content creators. I'm sure that the upper echelon of Facebook has been keeping a close eye on Steemit, because it is an idea that could definitely chip away at a large chunk of their base, which I'm sure is already shrinking. They have been data mining their users, selling their information, and taking all the profits for themselves for years, while virtue signaling at the same time. It is better for them to pay some of those profits to the people, rather than have them leave their platform anyway.

after 12 or so years, it might be a little too late for facebook. I think they are behind the curb and I doubt a large % of profit will be given back to content creators.

I think Mark Zuckerberg is trying hard to make sure Facebook stays relevant amidst the crypto-based social media platforms like Steemit.com. Thats why am predicting he will either integrate one of the cryptos onto the facebook platform or introduce a Facebook cryptocurrency but he cant completely ignore the impact crypto is having across all financial borders.

Steem>FB in the future

Wow! Wow!! This is breaking news.this is nice to sustain facebook by rewarding their content Creator will go a long way to attract more user in their community and even people who done dumped Facebook for a long time.thanks for this wonderful information.
