I made an ‘A’ in Finance in college and for the life of me, I cannot understand BitCoin or any cryptocurrency.

the cryptocurrency would indeed be pegged to a basket of currencies rather than a single one like the US dollar

Good luck with that. They would be better off trying to heard cats.

The Left can’t wait to see the dollar plunge.

They want it abandoned as the world’s most trusted and stable currency.

If they succeed, it will be the end of life as we know it.

Yeah right. Like I would ever buy into Fakebook cryptocurrency.

If they would ban you for simply being a conservative, God knows they would lock your cryptocurrency account and delete it like so many thousands of conservative FB posts.

Yeah, just what the world needs. A Socialist social media website issuing its own ‘money’.

Imagine the data they could capture if they controlled your money. I honestly think these big social media companies and really any company trading and profiting off of personal information should either allow people to opt out, or compensate them for use of their data.

Mark of the Beast. Crash all the other currencies, where this is the replacement. If one does not worship the Beast, agree that “global warming” is a problem, celebrate “gay marriage”, accept and embrace that gender is what ever you feel like, and agree that logic and reason is the perpetuation of white cisheteropatriarchy, one can not make any transactions. Zuckerberg is in league with the Antichrist. In Sorte Diaboli.

I am a fan of crypto currency and blockchain. I would not give Zuckerburg a peek into my money and spending habits. He is a dangerous guy.

If you are going to do this, use a truly independent method, not some private crap.

That must have been a while ago. It’s not that hard to grasp.

You and I would never trust FB in any way, but they are counting on billions of naive people all over the world. ...remittance of earnings to familys from migrant workers abroad who are often gouged by money transfer services.

Hey, FB would never gouge those "familys."
