While ongoing psychological-mindfuck-related troubles on both sides of the Atlantic might have played a role in the timing of the launch, Facebook was always bound to dabble in Blockchain at some point..!!

In April, defying irony, former Cambridge Analytica director Brittany Kaiser joined IOVO, a blockchain venture that plans to allow people on social media to decide whom they share data with. (Fun fact for conspiracy theorists: essentially all dramatis personae in the recent scandal, from Aleksandr Kogan, to Steve Bannon, to Cambridge Analytica itself, have some sort of cryptocurrency backstory.)

#Steemit gets a mention

Other blockchain-based social network projects have actually been launched – chief among them Steemit, a platform where users are rewarded with cryptocurrency units instead of Likes – even if none of them has so far risen beyond the status of blip on the chart.

....after its draconian ban on cryptocurrency ads, and its current fallout with governments all over the globe, Facebook does not need to get knee-deep into another regulatorily iffy matter.

#DeleteFacebook #JoinSteemit Banner
As I was sharing this article, I thought now was a great time for introducing the new #DeleteFacebook #JoinSteemit Banner.
This Banner is free to use and I am happy for you to copy and share as you like.
Thanks again for reading
Stephen
#DeleteFacebook #JoinSteemit
@stephenkendal from which face they will enter into blockchain. They were the big critics of blockchain and crypto. After analytica scandal and popularity of blockchain may be facebook have no option left. For their survival they would love to join blockchain technology. Otherwise their survival will be in danger. In my 2 cent opinions steemit will remain beneficial either Facebook convert into blockchain or not.
it FB don't it will be history. It FB transfer in to Blockchain, it will increase the popularity of blockchain. With the popularity of blockchain Steem will get handsome benefit. Thanks for sharing @stephenkendal
what the hell is going on and whats wrong with Facebook first they have made a shitty site now they ban the cryptocurrency ads. Facebook should do his own work and did not interfere in blockchain anyway facebook has very little time to go and we will demoslished facebook through block-chain our great leader @stephenkendal is with us and will show the world that steemit is king of all social media site and cryptocurrency and block chain is the future @stephen go for it we are with you #delete Facebook #join steemit
Hahaha, they are the one to ban ads of crypto and block chain on Facebook and now look where they are, what a beautiful blog written by wired.co.uk and sir thank you so much for mentioning that banner is free to use, I've already used it in my recent post and I've started a travel series and I'm gonna use this banner until you make some changes in it 😉
It'll be a pleasure for me if you visit my recent post and suggest me something over there.
hahaha, I just can't understand this double standard behavior of these whales, on one side they say, bitcoin is fraud, cryptocurrency is fraud, on the other side they want to be get benefited by the blockchain technology,
Whey man why if I have something, I will hate each and everything related to that thing.
They are just Benefit TAkers.
Bloody Hell
Exactly! What the hell FB is doing on Blockchain. They even don't deserve to get in. They are just competing their selves with STEEMIT ONLY otherwise they don't have an interest in Blockchain. They are planning to leave the steemit behind.
let's see what will happen in the future...!!
Really What the hell FB is doing on Blockchain ? i think its facebook big wrong decision..
Let's see, how successful they can be like the steemit.
The best bit of this article for me @stephenkendal was that we got a mention on Wired! 😊
Please see my post, I just did a #deletefacebook # joinsteemit promo-steem. is an honor if my post gets attention from you Pak @stephenkendal.
Indonesia needs to be more active in promoting #deletedfacebook because Indonesia is the country to the four biggest facebook users.
Yes sir everyone should #deletefacebook and should join @steemit.
Yes you are right
clear and detailed evidance and facts. let's support facebook deletion and campaign to switch to Steemit. Success always @stephenkendal, hopefully this struggle succeed
Well, Mark Zuckerberg is very intelligent and always up-to something when he knows that anything could be of hindrances to the development of its work.
But this wont have any much effect on the evolvement of steemit since but only breed competition that is if he will ever launch it.
Thanks for the update as usual.
Goodluck @stephenkendal. I strongly suport #deletefacebook #joinsteemit .this happynews today
