- secondcoming 4y agoI'd rather trust FB engineers with a monetary system rather than some randomers off the internet. Besides, it's written in Rust! It's flawless by design.
- anonym29 4y agoThis is a joke, right?
- krautsourced 4y agoAnd blazingly fast. Don't forget how blazingly fast it is.
- wmf 4y agoThat's why it was canceled.
- yodsanklai 4y agoBelieve it or not, Meta is highly regulated. A lot of their engineers work on privacy issues.

- julianeon 4y agoBy this logic, we trust them with React, which at the end of the day is much more impactful.
- laweijfmvo 4y agoThought experiment: if you're in a situation like Zimbabwe ~2010, or Argentina recently, who do you trust more with your currency? Facebook, or your own government? Relatedly, with ~3B users, this is why I think the regulators shut this down before it started.
- lawn 4y agoAn actual cryptocurrency that's not controlled by Facebook of course.
- laweijfmvo 4y agooh like Celsius?
- anonym29 4y agoNo, like Bitcoin.
- tossl568 4y agoYou're going to have a hard time on here... money MUST be controlled by the government is the general belief.
- anonym29 4y agoYeah, otherwise it would be impossible to print on-demand to fund hostile, militarized occuptations of other countries OR punish people for saving rather than spending by diluting the value of existing units of the currency. What a horrible world we'd live in without granting governments such abilities. /s
