You are severely over estimating the integrity of cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Some of the most highly valued "cryptocurrencies" today are centralized tokens handled by companies with worst reputations than Facebook (XRP, EOS, Tron, ...), yet people do buy and use them.
If anything the communities from these tokens might flock en masse to Facebook coin.
And if Facebook actually manages to pull off a system where they can't be compelled to freeze accounts, it might also steal the user base from those traditional payment apps.

I mean some people do, but they're a very small niche. > communities from these tokens might flock en masse to Facebook coin Yes, I agree, that's what I said in my OP, but this is a relatively small group of people, and they will likely only use it as an onramp into spendable money and continue to favor their preferred token.
