I'd rather pay my coins on a premium than going back to FB

JamieMc23

I think it might be starting. FB have cancelled their fit out projects globally, where I live they stopped the tender process on a huuuuge job a week before the tender was due, and stopped another phase going ahead. Their official line is that they're struggling to get workers back into the office so they don't need the new space, but I have a feeling that they're easing up on building new space for the incoming recession. They've started letting people go in some places apparently.

Besides downloading your personal data from FB, Google and others, you will need an ability for people to easily self-track their behaviour and sell it. Think, browser extensions, geo location data, what they watch on Netflix etc. You need an edge. Something Google doesn't legally know or can use about the user but a user May legally sell this info.

Social media and email have probably been the biggest internet development outside of retail and remittance, they completely changed the way humans interact, plan and share information, we're an information based society. Shit like TikTok and Facebook seem inane, but they're where people spend the bulk of their digital time and spend the most time communicating and arbitraging their viewpoints (for better and worse). Other than Google & YouTube Facebook is the biggest internet vertical, and Google and YouTube are a content search tool and a content aggregator which is largely output not input. FB is worth half a trillion dollars largely off the back of one website. TikTok has more than a billion unique monthly active users, these numbers are incomprehensibly huge. AOL had less MAUs than Opensea does right now until the 90s, a lot of the adoption with the internet was REALLY slow, certainly a lot slower than crypto has been. I don't know if BTC/Crypto really stood on anybodies shoulders, it was released quietly by an anonymous dev and nobody took it seriously for half it's lifetime, the big players only started to get involved in like 2017 and most still aren't.

>What does OP think distinguishes bitcoin from what they mean by crypto? 1. It's only trying to be money. 2. It's focused on decentralization for both security and governance reasons (not being attacked AND not changing the monetary policy). 3. It doesn't have a founder and a bunch of VC investors who already hold massive percentages of the supply. 4. It doesn't use a PoS model which infinitely rewards those founders and VCs for holding that supply. >What does OP mean by web3? Exactly, what the fuck does anyone mean? It's a vague term which kind of alludes to the "ownership of data and its privacy". None of the on-chain solutions are going to scale and the layer 2 solutions are going to end up largely centralized just like today's web. The only difference is that we may see more interoperability of the data (say, you can import all your FB comments into "[MyBetterSocialMediaPlatform.com](https://MyBetterSocialMediaPlatform.com)" and then stop using FB). But even that isn't clearly happening in todays "crypto" and it's not even being worked on explicitly. >This is the exact same vibe as people in the 90s thinking the internet and e-commerce was a fad that would never last. You can say this about literally any new idea. Problem is, most new ideas actually do fail. Even for ideas that do work out, the first iteration is often far off the mark. Most e-commerce did fail in the first wave. They didn't have the right infrastructure or the right approach. So maybe the interoperability of the internet does happen but it just doesn't end up requiring a blockchain. Maybe a bunch of tech companies run a distributed ledger of some kind that is highly centralized and doesn't have any "tokens" involved. Maybe it integrates with Bitcoin to provide the "value transfer" component and then all the data just lives on this shared ledger between a conglomerate of tech companies. Maybe smaller companies can pay a fee to integrate with and use data from the ledger. Just because there is a need to provide a sense of data ownership and network interoperability doesn't mean "crypto" is the answer to that. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is just money... and it's actually working at being global, state-neutral, entity-neutral, permission-less money.

What products does FB physically produce, Instagram? Twitter?

TopTierTuna

Nice try pal. But I guess you gotta keep people guessing. Russians are obviously on these subreddits vote manipulating far left and far right leaning content. Now that people have switched to getting news and info from Reddit, Instagram, FB, whatever, the ability to radicalize people is a) relatively easy and b) an economic slam dunk. Consider how much money it costs to build and upkeep a standing army vs how much it costs to spread propaganda that might send numerous countries into civil war. And Christ, with the amount of fuckload money that Melvin Capital got wrecked for, do you think a couple keyboard warriors and a botting program can't be financed? It's a rhetorical question. Essentially, if you're telling people vote manipulation and paid actors aren't on here, chances are reaaaaaaaaaaaally good you're one of them.

It's simple: you're on reddit bashing FB and Insta -> you get upvotes.

ManyBeautiful9124

I spend most of my time on Reddit these days. I don’t mind the bro banter (you just gotta laugh) and I don’t really have much in common with people who are on FB and Insta - both are nauseating for different reasons. I like the anonymity of Reddit and I like that I can find a very specific sub for my very specific interests. Also I can’t bear simple/basic people. And I find them easier to avoid here …

UCMeInvest

“Since FB rebranded to Meta” so from the point where one of the biggest companies in the world announced their Metaverse ventures? So from the absolute peak? I guarantee compare it to a week before FB announced and the 83% figure will be lower

Blooberino

I don't think there was really much interest in it, just a bunch of FOMO on coins like MANA and SAND going 5x based on speculative FB involvement.

NiceAsset

Does FB have its own coin or do they just utilize the existing ones? Full disclosure, I own a quest II and think it’s the future for sure

You are probably the type of person who believes is doing good for humanity for writing "Pray for..." on your FB profile picture, am I right? You invested in crypto to make money, just like the rest of us. If you want to help tech, then just donate your money to them, it will be more helpful to them.

> How does bitcoin have value when you can't buy very many things compared to other currencies? People have done currency trading since decades, its called Forex. Just because you invest in Yen or British Pound does not mean you want to use it to buy things with it. Bitcoin like any technology is still finding itself. It will probably be many things. Just like the internet did not even have social media sites for many years. Reddit, FB, Youtube only came along many ears after the Internet was there. Same will probably happen with Bitcoin, there will be many things it can be in the future.

RatherCynical

You can't copy FB or Google's code, and call that FB/Google. What about the hundreds of millions of users? It would take a \*huge\* advancement to make them want to move away. Bitcoin isn't dying to clones, but other cryptos might (would ETH really last forever?)

indoinjpos

not only crypto dumping hard, tech stock prices have also dropped to pre-pandemic prices AMZN,FB,NFLX back to 2018 price , btc prices are still above the pandemic price holding up quite strong

jamesvanessa

People do talk about it.it was expected. You reference social media. Most people serious in crypto don't really use social media that much. The people on FB, til tok etc. Are usually not really into crypto. It's young people with like $200 in crypto and then the influencer scamming them. Since the start banks have been infiltrating.

surprise074

The bull run ended earlier than the last one. I took a risk and was wrong. I wouldn't have been "stupid" if it went the other way. In fact, I was smart because I invested a percentage, not the whole lot. The other 90% of my money is also down a lot and that's invested conservatively in mutual funds. I have to wait for that to come back too. In addition, both the US market & BTC we're doing well when I made the decision. It isn't like I sold at a loss and bought BTC high. As far as FB starting a new coin, BTC on the balance sheets of big business and adopted by society. If anything, FB will incorporate BTC into their "new coin" and the price of original BTC will be worth even more.

senttoschool

You can't delete your data on FB today. Even if you de-activate your account. On the blockchain, you'd just throw your private key away, thus, your data is lost forever. This is of course assuming that the blockchain encrypts your data, which it needs to.

> Can someone explain? how exactly do rich people get richer during a recession? Some rich people get richer during a recession because they have cash and they are able to buy up valuable assets on the cheap. > Zuckerburg lost 50% of his net worth with FB stock crashing. That's just on paper, it really doesn't mean a whole lot as long as Facebook is still a viable, profit generating company (which it is). > Those billionaires have all their wealth tied to their companies. So they lose even more. Again, they don't lose anything. When you own valuable assets, you can rest assured that those assets will gain in value again once the recession is over. What he really means though is that by monetizing government debt, the central bank (and government) is debasing the currency (ie. every dollar you own becomes less valuable over time). Most poor/middle class people don't have many assets so they get poorer (their paycheck buys less and less over time), whereas wealthy people own assets: Property, equities (stocks), etc. that appreciate in value at an even faster rate than inflation, plus these people are able to borrow a lot of money for very cheap and invest and make even more money while poor and middle class people generally don't have the credit to borrow millions of dollars are near zero interest.

Can someone explain? how exactly do rich people get richer during a recession? Zuckerburg lost 50% of his net worth with FB stock crashing. MSFT and AAPL are to follow. TSLA stock is not doing too well too. Those billionaires have all their wealth tied to their companies. So they lose even more. Is he implying that they are not going to starve like an average poor person, and that implies a win? I genuinely don't understand...

Not in the first 99 so nothing to gain, but here goes: 2012: student in a massive party house. We all got involved to buy from Silk Road. Eventually it became an internal currency; buying/selling cans of beer to eachother and guests. Occasionally chucking sats around "to do the washing up" or "let me have a plate of that massive pasta you made" - it felt like some cool little club. 2014: Mt Gox'd! I knew the price had been rising over the years but never bothered to check what I had or where it was, but definitely had some on Gox. Oh well! 2017: Endless adverts for exchanges and news articles for 3 years saying the price is rising. Now the rumblings are creeping mainstream, better stack some sats. DCA small amounts. 2018: Quit my job to work on personal things. DCA-ing increased despite zero income. Price drops don't matter, I believe in the future of this thing and understand why it's so important. 2019: Living with mum whilst I work on personal things to cut expenses. Mum gets told to leave her rented house of 17 years (brexit-related). We have no savings. Mum goes to live in her friend's spare bedroom, I go to live in a hostel in London whilst I find a job. First big paycheck comes in, bitcoin is very cheap... Control myself and buy a minimal amount, spend the rest of my first paycheck on a deposit, buying my mum a house so she never has to worry again. Following month I DCA and rent myself a small flat. Friends won't listen to me telling them it's a great time to buy btc. 2020/21: Friends finally cave and they allll buy btc. I become their go-to guy for questions. So happy they're finally in I don't care that my phone is 24/7 the same stupid repeated questions or that they're in it for a quick buck without learning the deeper benefits. 2022: Finally bought my own place. Bought furniture off FB marketplace with lightning where possible and refilled anything I spent. Still DCAing. Friends all cashed out their initial amounts at ATH so are now riding their free sats that were leftover. They try to tell me I'm an idiot for hodling and buying more. Bought a few copies of the bitcoin standard with an Amazon voucher work gave me - will wait for the price to start rising again in two years before handing them out to friends; I think giving them out when they think bitcoin is dying will just result in them gathering dust.

I’ve read about this before, including that article. It solves a problem I don’t have (signing up for things, I just use my google login for most things), in a way that seems technical and economically infeasible. Why would TikTok, FB, Google etc support this? It’s a ton of extra work for them and would wreck their business models. I think you wildly overestimate how much people care about “owning” their data. We are fine with google spying on us so they can deliver better search results, and we have been for decades.

Only a very few years after the tech crash in the early 2000's did the tech market emerge as we kind of know it today. Before then, tech was all specualtion and super risky. Now,... Everyone wants a piece of FB,Google etc... Alot of incredibly big companies does out then as the market reformed. I see this kind of thing happening now in the crypto space. Captiap will reshift, many coins will be starved to death and then out of nowhere a surprise boom hits. But right now, run for the hills and forget trying to time the market or buy a 'dip'.

Rich Dad Poor Dad The Richest Man in Babylon Think and Grow Rich Atlas Shrugged (novel) best advise I can give is to learn how to buy low and sell high. Start on FB marketplace or craigslist. Find free stuff listed, clean it up and offer it for $10. Once you've done that 5 times, go buy something for $50 that you think you can sell for $80. Add value where you can. Paint an old bed frame or get a buy a beater car and clean it up. Start small and work your way up to buying houses that need work.

I've been here since 2017, and while that might not be that long... It was long enough to see my initial investment go down damn near 70-90%. ​ I **HELD,** and more than tripled my initial investment a few years later anyway. I remember going on FB, and Reddit during those times. The FUD was running rampant everywhere. Bunch of "OOO CRYPTO BROS GET REKT LOLOL" I'm not going fucking anywhere. My coins are in my wallet and will stay in there for the next few years. ​ If this fire sale continues. I will continue buying at these prices. ​ All those saying we are getting rekt have clearly never invested in shit in their lifes. Or they are WS bunnies. Btw how are some of those stocks looking right now? A lot of them are down 70%++++. Btc is down about 60-70% as well. Btc has literally done this exact move 3-4x and if I'm not mistaken we have another halving to deal with.

You lost 50% You could have been in stocks like TSLA. Which is down almost 50%. Or something like UPSt which is down 95%. Or FB or NTFX… Really.. 50% isn’t that bad.

I understand your side of argument - some things are too big to fail. But look at MySpace, Vine and FB. Some things are falling faster than others, but better things do come and replace stuff that we used to use.

Bitcoin shows everyones activity pseudonymously so you need to target each individual person separately to monitor their transactions. What the Australian government is doing is monitoring every individual in real time. Every single resident is having their movement and financial activity monitored and recorded without prior suspicion and without even being accused of a crime. Google has data, FB has data, the blockchain has data but they cant do anything with that except target ads. However its an eery feeling knowing politicians are watching your every move every second of every day waiting to find a reason to fine you or arrest you. Thats dystopian. Its like living your life being presumed guilty. It messes with the psyche of a society and alters human behaviour. People end up living in a state of fear instead of a state of freedom.

stayontoptoday

Bitcoin has had one of the biggest growth of any stock. Tech market has reached maturity. You will not see more people using Google, FB, Microsoft etc. Yes they still make profits. But there are still very few % who hold Bitcoin and bitcoins are still far from as much used as they might be in the future. The growth potential is huge.

ibond_007

I differ to differ on that. Just like we have different social media (FB, Reddit, Snapchat, LinkedIn), I prefer ideal metaverse to have multiple metaverse by domain. So folks can be what they want to be in each of them. Just like I don't want my political affiliations to be shown my LinkedIn whereas I am ok with that on Facebook. I don't want my sports buddies to know about my BDSM stuff. Also Metaverse is really the next phase of Internet, just like internet used to text -> image -> audio -> video -> 4K -> live stream, metaverse will also go through transition. In future it would be so realistic that we find it hard to differentiate real vs virtual. So I don't want one world but multiple ones and all these worlds should not be held by one company, if at all it happens it shouldn't be Facebook :-(

crimeo

Different data, not more data. I'd much much rather have friend and demographic data as a data scientist (classic FB) than moment by moment muscle information and such. Both are very useful though, yeah. Otherwise yeah though, agree. Like you suggest, it is almost a reason to have fewer ads though.

No no ... It exists now and has for some time. Aside from the obvious, Second Life, there is the other hater favorite Decentraland. Those two have been around forever - but it's an older tech stack. [Spatial.io](https://Spatial.io) and [Mona.gallery](https://Mona.gallery) are great examples of better graphics and experience overall, without requiring any ownership. And you can build your own spaces, hold events, etc... for free. Hate "floating bodies"? Plug your [ReadyPlayer.me](https://ReadyPlayer.me) avatar into them and be you. These are a great example of the more social metaverse. You like voxel games, money and Snoop? Head over to [The Sandbox](https://www.sandbox.game/en/) (if you can afford it). Expected Q4 22/Q1 23 will be [New Ganymede x Meta Key](https://youtu.be/KYihbyARx6A). Open metaverse that will serve as both a hub and it's own space. Free to all with perks for holders. And finally, AAA level experience? [Wilder World](https://youtu.be/yPBraI1W4CI) is one to watch if you're into the big money, flashy, pangalactic gargleblaster level MV (trailer is not a cinematic). There are a ton more projects that are both real and have banking from money outside of the traditional paths. Remember, there are a ton of "epic kids" that have been burned that got tech jobs, did ok, actually did so well in crypto and are funding the "fuck those guys" movement back to where things should be... Power to the Players. Trust me... Facebook rebranded to Meta because Roblox has more daily users than FB. #Facts. They don't have any play beyond protection so don't let that fuck take down another generation because the stink he put on the internet. This is bigger than him - or any individual.

I don’t think you fully understand the metaverse. First off, these scam shitcoins can NEVER compete with FB having infinite budget. 2nd. The metaverse is live and pretty lame. Try VRchat for example. Community-made games or rooms where you’d just socialize or play games with people. Sadly and unsurprisingly it’s mostly children on there. Some of the games have potential but as an adult 10min is the most you can do without wanting to shoot yourself

Probably something about FB. I know they did make a semi exclusive social platform for business heads n CEO's n such years n years ago. Dont know if it still exists or what its name even was

Wait till Zuckerberg forced everyone in FB into it

tldr; Bitcoin is now the 10th most valuable asset in the world, beating out Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: FB) whose market cap stands at $553.61 billion while Bitcoin’s is at $603.38 billion at the time of writing. Bitcoin's dominance now stands at 44% of the entire $1.36 trillion crypto sector. Meanwhile, among the 6,265 commodities and companies worth together $86.51 trillion, gold dominates in the first place. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I think it will be a bad gamble. Zuckerberg is not a creator. He's a buyer, and he is way ahead of himself buying up the metaverse and trying to force association of the metaverse with his company. It will not work. The metaverse is still in it's infancy and will never be able to flourish, economically or creatively, within the space he creates, because innovation cant happen within a contained environment, especially not when you have such accountability to shareholders. Most of his investment is being pissed away, because things will develop differently than they are now. In order to be overlord of the metaverse, he is forever going to have to buy everything up that is created outside Meta and integrate it into his platform. Zuckerberg is a joke, and the world has given that guy way too much credit for way too long. Everything successful about Facebook/Meta is stolen or bought, but his ego is too big to realize this, so he is making the biggest mistake of his life out of pure hubris. He might literally end up turning FB and Meta into the AR version of Stadia, where it will die and end his empire along with it.

if they hit mainnet in the next couple of years, that would be massive! hope Reddit HQ really see the potential of having blockchains solution integrated in their platform, Twitter and FB are exploring the idea as well, crypto is here to stay

I dont think it's about 'our trust'. It's mainly about the billions of users who are already so dependent on these tools on a day to day basis. You have half of the population using Whatsapp, Instagram and FB atm, that's just insane. They don't need anymore people at this point, just their current users.
