To top it all off, Facebook employees working on the cryptocurrency can also opt to give up traditional cash money forever. To prove how much they love Father Zuck, the Information also reports that they will get the option to instead be paid in Facebook’s cryptocurrency.
At least in the past companies had the decency to print their funny-money scrip on paper.
I’d be giving that a hard pass if i were them.
Good heavens, this is even better than stock options.
21st century company store. Bind them with blockchain!

FB now getting into the medical info dealing. What could possibly go wrong?
Facebook announced on Tuesday that it is recruiting participants to download its new app Study from the Google Play store. Once it is downloaded, it will transmit data with Facebook on what other apps the users have, what features they use, and how much time is spent on them.
Study comes after Apple cracked down on Facebook in June 2018 and again in January 2019 for similar apps that paid users as young as 13 for extensive data on their phone usage. Facebook is working to appear more transparent about its quests for user data with Study, though the service is not offered through Apple, which bans the collection of “information about which other apps are installed on a user’s device for the purposes of analytics or advertising/marketing”.

Those who want to run ads on Facebook about social issues, elections or politics will have to provide valid Canadian identity documents — such as a passport, driver’s license, provincial identity card or certificate of Indian status — and verify their location in Canada.
To determine where a would-be advertiser is located, Facebook will look at online indicators and send the advertiser a letter to a Canadian address containing a code required to run political ads.
Ugh, they really are determined to ruin everything for everyone, aren’t they?
That’s kinda their business model, isn’t it.
That and world domination.
Yay - Facebook money!!
