I sometimes wonder if Zuck, at some point realized he didn't have the charisma to become president, but then realized he didn't need it. Facebook could start using its ability to mint currency as a way to bring in the government policies not otherwise viable in today's world. Maybe they start a basic income. It could boost the currency's use... but also be a path to be a world government without checks and balances. As our government falters, there's an opportunity for someone else to pick up the responsiblity. Which is frightening. The unbanked just happen to have less functional governments than our own, so it's a good test bed.
