Facebook is working on a crypto coin for WhatsApp

Hm. I think you are all missing the point and trying to make this about cryptocurrency.

Remember the articles a while ago about Zuckerberg begging banks to let him see people’s credit card transactions?

With his own blockchain, he doesn’t need the banks. He can read it right from the blockchain, because that’s what blockchains and Zuckerbergs do.

It’s an advertisers wet dream – finally being able to prove that the people they showed an advert to actually spent money on that site after the advert was shown. He would own the web with that.

EDIT: Replaced two Fs with Zs, because it was only funny for a shortwhile
