How is it inferior to Ecash? FB's coin is not meant to provide anonymity features like Ecash did, but that's just a design choice. Other than that, Ecash is often suspected to have died due to the lack of reach and partnerships, which is not something FB lacks.
So far, FB's coin looks very interesting.
>Facebook’s currency is not a successor of Bitcoin
Yeah the title is just low-quality clickbait; it's got nothing to do with Bitcoin.
- russdpale 7y agoI don't think its clickbait, a lot of projects in the crypto space claim to be like bitcoin but better, bitcoin is the foundation upon which a lot of projects showcase themselves to potential users, usually in the first few paragraphs of the white paper. This coin might look interesting, but for all of the wrong reasons.

- Anon84 7y agocryptocurrency is more SEO/Marketing friendly than giftcard. /s Seriously, though... the whitepaper isn't out yet so we don't really know how this is supposed to work. It'm sure it will use some type of permissioned blockchain for convenience/ensure trust between all the partners and dissolve responsibility for all decisions the consortium takes.
