Lol are you serious?....... JULY 2, 1915: DYNAMITE ATTACK. Frank Holt, a professor at Cornell, was suspected of smuggling three sticks of dynamite in a suitcase into the Capitol on July 2, 1915. The bo bs went off in the Senate's reception area hours later, causing damage. Holt was also suspected of sending a letter to a US newspaper paper under the moniker “R. Pearce”, expressing opposition to the US selling arms and munitions to Germany's enemies as World War I progressed. MARCH 1, 1954: PUERTO RICAN NATIONALISTS. While members of the US Congress were debating a bill concerning migrant Mexican workers, at least four people were killed in a terror attack by Puerto Rican nationalists. It was part of the push for nationhood for Puerto Rico and a push back at US colonialism. The attack came four years after a failed assassination attempt that targeted then-president Harry Truman (1950). Two years earlier, in 1952, a significant majority of Puerto Ricans voted for “commonwealth” status. Some nationalists called the vote a farce”. (From left) Puerto Rican nationalists Irvin Flores Rodríguez, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Lolita Lebrón and Andres Figueroa Cordero are seen in a police lineup in this March 1, 1954 photo, following a shooting attack at the U.S. Capitol. Cancel Miranda, the last surviving member of the group, died at his residence in San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 2, 2020. AP files MARCH 1, 1971: BOMBING BY LEFTISTS. Leftist militants, called the Weather Underground, claimed responsibility for a bomb placed in a men's washroom one floor below the US Senate chamber on March 1, 1971. The group said the bombing was in protest of the expansion of the US military presence in Southeast Asia, specifically to Laos. The bomb threat was phoned in overnight, 30 minutes before detonation. Given the time of day, no one was injured in the blast, but damage was estimated at $300,000. Several members of the Weather Underground served prison time for other attacks and activities, no one was ever arrested for the 1971 bombing. Photo shows law enforcement officers sifting through debris in a restroom in the US Capitol in 1971 after the blast. NOVEMBER 7, 1983: ATTACK BY LEFTISTS. A bomb blast hit parts of the US Senate building. The attack was motivated by USmilitary involvement in Lebanon and Grenada. Six members of the radical left-wing Resistance Conspiracy of the May 19th Communist Organisation were arrested in May 1988 and charged with the bombing, as well as related bombings of Fort McNair and the Washington Navy Yard which occurred April 25, 1983, and April 20, 1984, respectively. The attack led to heightened security in the DC metropolitan area, and the inaccessibility of certain parts of the Senate Building. Photo shows Sen. Mack Mattingly (R., Georgia) looking at the damage caused by the blast on the Senate side of the US Capitol building JULY 24, 1998: DERANGED GUNMAN. Two policemen died in an exchange of gunfire at a checkpoint inside the Capitol. Officer Jacob Chestnut and Detective John Gibson were killed when Russell Eugene Weston Jr., entered the Capitol and opened fire. Chestnut was killed instantly and Gibson died during surgery at George Washington University Hospital. Photo shows an unidentified victim being rushed to a medical evacuation helicopter. 1998: Gunman Russell Eugene Weston Jr. was later charged on July 26 for the murder of two US Capitol Police officers during the shooting rampage. Weston was taken to a mental institution diagnosed with a mental disorder (paranoid schizophrenia). Photo shows an unidentified victim being rushed to a medical evacuation helicopter. MARCH 28, 2016: SHOOTING: US Capitol Police stand guard in the middle of Independence Avenue as people evacuate the Capitol Building after a shooting at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center on March 28, 2016. Media identify Capitol ramming suspect as black male, follower of radical Nation of Islam as his FB page promptly gets wiped The suspect shot dead after ramming his car into barriers outside the US Capitol has been identified by NBC News and other media outlets as Noah Green, a 25-year-old black man and reportedly a follower of the Nation of Islam.

The sad reality is even wal-mart and FB are getting into crypto, nft's, and the metaverse. The shit ain't going anywhere. Now what I am concerned about is these giant corps taking over and buying up every damn coin they can - like they do with competition already.

LJoeShit-TheRagman

Jokes on you, I use FB too

HrmbeLives

Hasn’t seemed to be working… this is post #585,929 of someone sending their money to a group on FB/telegram/discord and then being “scammed” out of it. There was, in fact, just a post yesterday about it! In that very post I tried to leave the same helpful advise I’ll leave you with—If you send someone your money, they will keep your money. If you don’t want to lose your money, don’t send it to someone else.

Naturalista93

Being salty about people being salty. hahah we can feel both ways. annoyed \[because Tesla did flex & tease & shill amongst other things thanks to Elon\] happy there's some 'real world' utility there I mean I'm personally excited about stuff like [Kash.io](https://Kash.io) or Alice or just anything that allows us to use crypto real life and not just stupid little keychains and stuff.. but I guess that's what reddit is for. our actual opinions. otherwise would go to FB if we wanted to mask our real feelings "yes Auntie your pie is amazing. happy 23083240248th baby you have there cousin" or whateva but of course people like when their bags go up. hahah : ) tis the human nature

0-Give-a-fucks

People keep explaining what you need to do to protect yourself and you have jeep coming back to the wallet. THAT WALLET IS BURNED. Never connect to ever again under any circumstances. If your bank is connected to it, use the banks website to blacklist the vendor and block all transactions. Also, there’s a really good chance your computer is compromised. You really need to completely change all passwords for everything and rebuild the OS of your machine. Report the FB account if you haven’t already done so.

Bullmeister73

google (and by extension of course youtube) are abusing their monopoly powers, it's disgusting. if you say or express anything that goes against their beliefs you will get censored. freedom of speech has no meaning to them. same goes for FB, twitter et-al. it's time the world wakes up to what big tech is capable of these days.

RedFalconEyes

There is no trouble with the law, you are the victim here not the culprit. You got scammed, thank the heavens that it was a relatively small amount. Uninstall app, change your FB password, block those scammers. You're good to go

RedFalconEyes

I would strongly advise against this. Do not interact with it at all, the first step here on out in uninstall and move on. Change your passwords to your Facebook email (and force log out all logged in devices with FB) to be extra cautious

Jazza86

Completely agree, but i feel like facebook and twitter has far too much control (being household names) for anyone to compete just yet. As much as i hate FB, if they were to incorporate crypto it would likely be a game changer

plast1K

It’s just the cycle, less people interested right now, they’ll pick back up don’t worry, next group of FB investors gets psyched on rocketshibbarfcoin and it’s the same thing all over again.

metal_bassoonist

You absolutely can make bots that detect and enforce that kind of thing. FB / META is a good example. They know they can and have said they won't. Plus, they make it look worse than it would be by helping fake news and antagonistic opinions reach the front of people's pages. If they can make bots that encourage something, they can make them to discourage something. Unfortunately, without decentralization, one party is motivated to do all these evil things. That's why FB is a cesspool. It's not because of human nature, it's because the ugly capitalism monster deems it to be profitable.

obi_wan_baracus

Energy waste like Reddit, Insta, Twitter, FB, and TikTok? Agreed

bigglesmac

I mean it already is, to an extent. We have Reddit, Twitter, Discord, Telegram, of course FB/instag/whatsapp, Pinterest, YouTube, patreon. Etc etc This counts as somewhat decentralized. Even if FB has a vast share of it. Can it become more decentralized? Well, yes.

Awhodothey

Yes, the **privacy** network Oasis announced a partnership with **Facenook** (which they carefully leaked rumors of months ago). Where will it be in a year though? Can you imagine any scenario where FB is concerned with marketing rather than privacy? Can you imagine any scenario where Oasis's VC and influencer team would lie about partnerships for marketing? Like they lied about being the "first chain with private smart contracts" despite the fact they have always been a full year behind Secret Network and have only recently released private SCs? Where do you think the $100M of liquidity that appeared overnight on the DEX they finally released came from? People waiting a year after Secret Network's DEX to use a privacy DEX? Or from VCs trying to buy their way up the charts? Oasis has also been rumored to have a contract with the US DoD for a long time, which they dramatically refuse to confirm or deny. Considering the VCs that own that token, I'd bet parts of my body that they started that rumor themselves. They are a perfect example of this. All of their marketing is meaningless jargon, that is eerily similar to Cardano. "Separate consensus layers" with "paratime layers" and "infinite scalability"- they are a Tendermint chain lol! Every tendermint chain is an infinitely scalable parachain. And Oasis isn't even connected to IBC lol... Time and time again we see founders use these tactics to gain momentum with retail speculators that don't research or actually use their network. Eventually things fall apart, because these projects don't have a large enough community of users and developers. Oasis is a perfect example. Secret Network has a clear first mover advantage. Anyone that wanted privacy has been using SN for a year. Oasis and SCRT are both Tendermint chains that use TEEs. Oasis doesn't have any advantages that users care about. Yet Oasis has a higher marketcap because of marketing! That isn't going to last. They won't sustain long term success on marketing. Oasis just had a big VC token lockup expire like two months ago. FB is not a user that actually needs their product. It's a pump and dump partnership for VCs that are unloading their bags.

vixvii42

Facebook ads are supposed to be approved before going live. This ad even featured Mark Zuckerberg and used the new Facebook Meta logo. I wonder how many people got burned. I hope there is a lawyer somewhere out there that sees the potential of FB liability.

miannsg

My local bank’s kids savings account. In bold on the FB advert, earn UP to 0.2% interest lol. The base interest is only 0.05%.

2pongz

I wouldn't expect too much growth from here tbh, unless they unlock the Ad paywall. These numbers won't move if it's a bad Ad platform for small and mid-sized businesses. Imagine having to pay a minimum of $10k a day for Push notifications, then $50k a day for Sponsored images. Then you have to pay for either segment for a minimum of 30 days, regardless of campaign performance, you're stuck paying with those numbers. Sounds like a money pit to me. Correct me if I am wrong though. If your business is not related to Crypto (where its users are mostly composed of), don't bother with running Ads on Brave? You would be better off paying $50k-$60k a day on FB/IG or Google ads.

AK_1975

To bad META is FB

GME-NeverSell

Does FB really steal info or is it freely given?

PB-Falcon

That’s what I’m wondering? When did FB enter crypto?

PB-Falcon

FB entered the crypto market? What did I miss? Where?

PB-Falcon

FB entered the crypto market? What did I miss? Where?

Hot_Dog_Dudeson

They should just ask FB they probably have the email on one of their servers and can sell it

J-Wagner

Well not sure what your argument is because nothing FULLY centralized is private. The space they are headed was never promised to be Super private. I never held FB up high in regards to privacy anyway. They give you a 1000 rules and another 500 ways they use your information. We all have choices in the way we use and invest in Crypto. If it weren't for them many Gaming and Metaverse plays wouldn't be rocking and filling my bags right now. Just worry about the thousands of other Cryptos out there and not the 1 FB Meta play you're so scared of

psychtracker

That's a really great point. I've been using Harmony for about 6 months, and it's been plagued with rpc issues. The first time it was really bad, i naively thought the price would dump! It didn't. It goes to show, that likely only a tiny percentage of pple actually use these chains vs trade/invest on cex'es. Which also goes to show how much crypto gambling actually goes on, with minimal real life interaction. If FB was plagued with tech issues, and no one could log on for days, their price would tank, but with crypto, barely anyone cares!

2pongz

People get this assumption wrong all the time. Assuming US is the entire world, we can say daily frequency use is down but penetration rates are still above 90% being Millennials and Gen Z still owns either IG, WhatsApp or FB. This means Facebook pixel is still siphoning everyone's consumer data. I work in Digital Marketing, SMM side, paid media in particular. But if you step out of US and walk into a University or high school in EU or Asia, they don't hate Meta platforms as much as we do, matter of fact, they use that shit daily. Anyway saying Facebook has the worst case scenario to compete when they hold a fuckton of consumer data, arguably best VR hardware, a trillion dollar market cap and a powerhouse in silicon valley. Idk bro, you do the math.

Nostalg33k

13. **F Zucc and FB**

-Keyz

FB collects too much personal information and the metavers will help FB collect even more. That’s scary.

rey_miller

They have the money and the people, but they have a huge disadvantage as well. Most Millenials don't like FB, GenerationZ don't care about them. Maybe our aunts and granmas do use their platform, but that is what we in marketing call the wrong target public. You can incentivize them to use their metaverse through airdrops, but it isn't the same a 10 dollars airdrop for aunts and grannies than to GenZ kid. Plus, it is harder to teach grannies and aunts to use actively the metaverse than to other generations. Facebook has the worse case scenario to compete in this game, unless they convert people from whatsapp to the metaverse. I am out from whatsapp, but I don't think other Millenials are out from it as well.

rey_miller

I think the metaverse is a huge space. In my opinion, my aunt and granma (common users of facebook) won't use the metaverse. It takes a huge effort to convince them to use something they don't feel comfortable with. We are the users of the metaverse and I am sure Facebook has lost many Millenials as active users. If they don't start to do airdrops in their app, people won't give a fuck about their metaverse. Money is the only way how you will attract people to use your app. I don't see FB doing it.

Zhelyazkow

You want to tell me that Satoshi Nakamoto won't ever message me on FB? *That's the real scam*

chedebarna

You are hating on FB for trafficking with our data (I despise them and actively avoid them as much as I can), but don't lose sight that the worst offender by far will always be the government. Meta sucks balls and we must denounce, boycott and resist. But they don't coerce CEXes to implement KYC and rat you out, or use literal bands of armed goons to kidnap you if you refuse to pay up their protection money afterwards. Matter of fact, one of the dangers of Meta is that they hand the troves of info they collect on us to the State, who has the power to coerce even FB.

Charming-Dance-1839

>crypto market (a market which thrives off of privacy) One of the biggest selling points for crypto is that there's a distributed public ledger and everything is out in the open for the richest to the poorest alike. So I wouldn't exactly say the market thrives off privacy. That being said, I agree that FB entering the space is a nightmare. We all know their goal. I think the Metaverse specifically will give them an more detailed knowledge about their customers. Which is why nobody should ever use it.

Candid-Tea-8820

If it’s on FB it’s probably bollocks … you can pretty much guarantee the replies will be from Telegram scammers to.

Qizrx

How much electricity do bank buildings use or Facebooks server? Why is nobody cancelling FB?

SmashJacksonIII

We also post heroic memes on FB about how we used to go outside when we were kids, and that we drank from hoses. And sometimes we rode in cars without seatbelts. We had effortlessly brave childhoods.

majani

Facebook has never had a big original idea. Zuck clearly stole the social network idea from the Winklevosses and everything else in the FB portfolio was acquired

F0rdPrefect

Yeah, this is such a dumb comparison overall. Metaverse is and probably will be terrible. But what in the heck does it have to do with communism?? Lol. This is the kind of thing I'd see my crazy uncle post on FB.

AllAboutLovingLife

The emerging "iPhone" of crypto is the Metaverse. People know how to play games, through those platforms people will be adopting crypto en-mass. First you sign up to a game like you do with any other online game, then you buy some tokens using your credit card through the game platform, next thing you know you're a l33t gamer with a bunch of collectible items and rewards from tournament games, you can go exchange those things in the Metaverse, want a new iPhone? Go to the metastore and buy it using your meta-tokens, Fedex will have it to you before the weekend. (I'm not talking about FB here, I just realized they've taken that branding I was trying to be non-specific) What has happened under the surface here though? A layer 0 protocol has bridged your meta-tokens to crypto "X" and the transactions have been recorded on a layer 1 chain, the process was facilitated by multiple smart-contracts, maybe on multiple chains. The player isn't remotely aware of these things but through the metaverse they have interacted with multiple chains. We are literally on the verge of this reality, in niche ways it's already here. People think crypto should be further than it is, Smart Contracts were only adopted in crypto 6-7 Years ago, Crypto is only a little more than a decade old, and it started out as nothing more than a group of open source developers getting together, often with no funding, and creating these things. The fact that we're already here is insanely fast. Tomorrow you'll be ordering a pizza on your phone through a blockchain connected app, using fiat or any crypto you want through cross chain compatibility, a smart contract will deploy a drone being tracked by a blockchain based IoT network. You'll be able to buy an NFT that enables you to walk into a dealership and walk out with a car, or the same blockchain network will track its delivery to you, every time your vehicle is serviced a mechanic will scan a QR code the logs the service to your vehicles NFT, when you want to sell it, you'll list your NFT which a blockchain secured owner and service history. We are less than a decade away from this level of integration to society in my view, and that is insane. People will be utilizing crypto without even knowing it in more ways than we can even imagine today.

mousepotatodoesstuff

I'm not using it if it's by FB.

TheMaskedBallsack

You don't think FB would have said anything at this point if that wasn't the case?

Ithikari

Its really not being argumentative, you made a statement based on your opinion without doing a simple search and basing innovation on what it means to you, not in general. If you mean a deliverable product in the hand of consumers its not going to happen, but quantum computing is innovative Google was the first company to prove quantum computing is do-able. That is innovation. But I will agree, i have heard nothing in regards to FB innovation. And that Google's biggest stuff won't be in the hands of consumers.

tatarka228

1st things first, they will probably buy the inovative start ups youre reffering to (an example from past, occulus), now if you dont think facebook has done something innovative - he hooked people on their social media apps like never before. People spend 10s of % of their day on their apps achieving literally nothing, only feeding their brain with cheap dopamine. Their tiny app innovations mind seem like nothing at the time, but if you look at the bigger picture, you see how powerful they are. And also FB spends 10 billion $ on VR a year, do you think that doesnt do anything? Lol I dont feel like saying the same thing about google, but these 2 almost litteraly control the internet lol, and if you dont think they will play a role in web3..

H__Dresden

Metaverse will track you from the first second of entering and Analyze every aspect of your interaction for marketing purposes. Then they will sell imaginary coins to buy their imaginary crap. Fuck FB Meteverse!!!!

banana_clipz

Pretty sure FB said their metaverse wouldn’t be ready until 5+ years. It’s not even close to launch. I respectfully disagree.

crvpto_punk

Facebook is a global product. Most people in the U.S do indeed dislike them, for their poor practices, but I think that most people in other places (e.g. many parts of Europe), are not so aware of the flaws present with Facebook. My mother, a middle aged woman, uses Facebook on a daily, yet, I don't think she's aware of the bad rap of FB. I think, the majority of users are like that. Hence, I think they'll succeed in whatever they do: they've got the resources, and the majority will be on their platform. (speculative opinion).

Redwolfdc

Hence why FB is trying to own the market for it

transylvanian_witch

No but I can agree that people who heard about FB changing their name to Meta because of metaverse overhyped the term.

madmach1

Simple. How many times have you heard people talking about crypto and then the usual “my buddy knows someone who 4x’d his investment in crypto.” So now the listener says, “man I gotta FOMO this shit and get on it, I just saw a FB group talking about 2x’ing my money so maybe I’ll get in and start with double it. “ That’s part of my theory at least.

neoquant

It‘s just like IBM would rename themselves into Internet in the 80s. This is so dumb move by FB actually.

zeFrogLeaps

It's just the early days and it's only one version of a metaverse. The definition stretches well beyond Facebook and their ideas for it. If you want a clearer idea of the core concepts behind metaverse (the general definition, not the FB one) think about how the internet progressed. We started out with simple desktop websites that just formatted text and content for display. Then we moved on to websites that could offer modest interaction in the form of sending queries and fetching data. By now we've progressed to many isolated experiences. you can do stuff on websites, in apps, in social media. Across a multitude of devices. But for the most part it's all pretty isolated even if it's drawing from the same database. The general idea behind the metaverse is that everything becomes one consolidated experience that you interact with in different ways. Let's say I'm looking for a date. * While I'm behind my laptop, I'm using a fairly traditional website to browse dating profiles. * But when I walk out the door without ending my profile browsing, the experience shifts to my AR glasses. While I walk down the road, I see dating profile information projected above the heads of people who also have their dating app open and match my criteria. * If I want to, my phone automatically sends them my calling card if I pass within a certain distance of them. * When I get to the bar, that's how I find my date. We put our phones on the table and they connect, the screens forming the two halves of a board game that acts as an icebreaker. That's what metaverse is at its core really. Seamless experiences between devices, data sets and users. Not switching between apps, devices and such but a single experience that flows like water between the interaction methods and people involved. When people sketch these VR 'chat room' worlds, the point isn't that we'll all be in some silly VR world. The point is that a metaverse can seamlessly integrate all of the experiences that used to be stand-alone things. Ie. if Nike builds a metaverse, the point isn't that it's a VR chatroom. The point is that your fitness tracker, your Nike webstore, your personal exercise profiles, the community etc. all become one seamless whole. You're not going to be awkwardly navigating that VR world on your phone in the bus. But your friend in that VR world can grab a sneaker from a virtual store and throw it to you for viewing on your phone on the bus. And if you run around the city wearing a fitbit, your friends can view your progress in whatever way they're interacting with Nike's metaverse. Anyway it's super early days. But if you think of all this metaverse stuff as the logical next progression of how we interact with the internet, you'll be a lot closer than when you think "VR chatroom".

crimeo

if it's "Defi" then it's not FB's metaverse.

GueRakun

No, the open protocol of the blockchain means it can be used as a building block for an actual digital identity. At the moment, we don't really have that. We have username/password as identity. Then each of the centralized instances don't really share it (except if they want to, like you can use FB/Google username to login somewhere else but it really is not uniform from one site or another, and you can make as many FB/Google emails as you want). But if Digital ID projects take off, we can really put more stuff digital. Our home deeds, our diplomas, our cars, our certificates, our votes (just to prove that we voted, it shouldn't be used to record what we voted). At the moment it is all a combination of awkward centralized solutions that tries their best to make their platform the one that is used. As another example, Imagine botting problem where one person can utilize 50 emails and is able to get PS5 before regular user. If amazon uses digital ID where one person can only get one ID, then this is resolved. The botter can then only use one ID, except if they get another person's ID (which should be costly, as no one would want to share theirs for a low price).

TheTurfinator

Yeah, Zuck is over here thinking he's going to turn FB into the Oasis from *Ready Player One* when all he's made is Second Life 1.5 (with ads). I foresee this being a tremendous money fire.

DidItForTheData

It's rather early but I tend to agree however is anyone really surprised? This was a massive move by the company (or a clever way to remove FB stigma) so of course, they have to overhype it.

handofjustice42

Funny thing; when FB started to get big with my kids,I told them that as soon as kids started to realize how many Farmville addicted boomers were on there it would start to die. Of course we've evolved past Farmville, but it still is very much an older space. And not a very good one at that

makoshot

Because your mom/dad hasn't asked for help with her wallet like they've asked for help with their FB, Twitter, the internet, etc

Apprehensive-Book787

Since FB is largely used by older people, they just wanted to sound hyper and attract back some younger generations that left for other platforms…

First dex live today. FB and BMW partnership

MrFengshuiX

Glad i got a bag of Oasis/ROSE a couple weeks ago. Besides the FB/Meta partnership and the launch of its 1st DEX (Duneswap) yesterday it has a lot of room to grow. 

circleuranus

It's a double edged sword as well. Being Doxxed brings a whole nother level of scammy bullshit you have to deal with. Once your name becomes public and associated with a project, you can expect your LinkedIn, FB, Gmail, Twitter, and public service you use to immediately blow up. Once you Doxx yourself all of those profiles and systems become unusable from all the SPAM and phishing.

brnmd

If metaverse is the end of FB then I do hope for it. Let it be filled with ads and become so utopical that people no longer identify themselves with it.

Fox_n_Roll

Found a comment on FB under some crypto news. It was like "BTC is nothing but promises and thin air and crypto will die when banks switch to digital currencies. What do You do with a currency You can't use anywhere rather than in Darknet?" I asked him if he could go shopping groceries with his shares and silver ounces....

GinchAnon

>Right now they are announcing NFT‘s just because they think its a new trend to make money. I think at the moment, that is largely the case. There aren't a lot of projects I know of that are realistic and use it more seriously. I think just a couple of games leading the way with that potential is really all that will be needed to open the floodgates to a new approach. >If I ever see a company announce NFT’s that seem to actually provide value and utility to the customer I would be in favor of them. There one project I'm personally optimistic about is https://www.influenceth.io/ I think it's God's Unchained that's basically I think an MTG/hearthstone style card game where the cards are NFTs stuff which I think seems like an interesting concept. I think there is also a bit of larger metaverse (not FB) conceptualization that has to grow a bit before people really see how it can work.

Zarathustra_d

My worst trade, was converting a large portion of my alts back to BTC and ETH because I expected BNTC dominance to rise whether it went parabolic or bear, then it went crab. Just to see MATIC/AVAX pump as BTC dumped. Traded off half my MANA just prior to the FB/Meta announcement too, lol. At least I sold the rest on the pump.

ipetgoat1984

Remote work is definitely not stopping any time soon for a lot of sectors. Twitter, FB almost fully remote indefinitely

MIBrody

Lets say parnership with BMW and Facebook make sure project wont die in bear. Thats a big plus. First dex comming this week. Terms of partnership with FB will be out in Q1. As many other projects Oasis has action packed roadmap but must say not many have this kind of support behind them.

Grabow

Agree with most everything, except the last part. The "political" person that did "hurt" people with their tweets and FB posts, is strongly against Bitcoin and other crypto projects.

ZucchiniUsual7370

What stock would you rather own right now? Myspace or FB? Netscape or Microsoft? Nuff said.

CrypticButthole

The problem is these platforms are the best way to get messages to the largest groups. What we really need is a decentralized platform for social media to be as widely used as the likes of FB and TWT. https://dscvr.one rings a bell.

Acceptable-Risks

We gotta get people off FB, Twitter and all mainstream media like CNN, Fox News, NBC etc...because if they keep plugging their brains in to those outlets we will never see legitimate candidates rise up. The media/social media brainwashing and division is unreal.

Acceptable-Risks

Stop it? Absolutely not because that would require them to shut down the entire internet. If we have internet anywhere in in world the bitcoin blockchain will continue. Can they regulate/tax us to death and make it unappealing? Yes. That's why it's important that we have integrity in our elections and elect people who are bitcoin friendly. The government can certainly keep the average person from becoming wealthy with bitcoin or using it as a store of value by creating ridiculous regulation and tax laws which drive people away from it. Another thing to consider is the central banks. If you think they don't want to kill bitcoin and create their own centralized digital currency you're a fool, pitied by Mr T. If the bankers cannot use their government puppets to take control of bitcoin through tax/regulation, you can bet your ass they will try to force everyone to use their centralized digital currency and as stated above make bitcoin less desirable through tyrannical laws and regulations. We need to get ahead of this. They're definitely coming for Bitcoin. They don't want decentralized currency. This is our ONE fuckin shot to get these bastards' boots off our neck and if we fuck this up it's game over. If they force the world in to CBDC usage and we allow them to tax and regulate bitcoin and other cryptos to death we are screwed. We will be living in a dystopia with no privacy, no liberty, and no ability to break free ever again. They will have all control over everything. So get your heads out of your asses and stop voting for political candidates just because they use gender pronouns you like and don't hurt your dumb ass feelings with their tweets and FB posts. Start digging deep and put your ideology to the side so we can have true freedom, the freedom to control our OWN currency. If we win this war and bitcoin and crypto become the standard, then we will see an age of extreme prosperity and equality and happiness like the world has never seen. We will see wealth finally transfer from these elite ass hats to the hands of average people.

Is Rose the one that has a partnership with FB?

I love all the Zuck/FB trash talk. I hope most have moved from FB/twatter to better platforms like Flote. I know GETTR is the hot name now but listening to the CEO's interview they can be compromised just as easy as Parler. Not a republican, just pointing out if Google and Amazon own your ass it isn't a viable alternative. Flote told Google/Amazon to F off right away and isn't beholden to them.

40% of the NASDAQ is down over 50% man it’d be a shame if one bad thing happened to AAPL, MSFT, FB, or TSLA. You shouldn’t put all your pennies in one basket

Do you mean Libra that got rebranded to Diem and now acts as independent to distance them from FB/Meta after the initial backlash? I think that this actually backs my point. If you mean the partnership with Oasis, that's basically just using their services for Meta's AI division. If you mean using Paxos in their Novi wallet, it's just a regulated stable coin. None of these are the same as selling their own coin.

My husband got me into crypto back in September, a couple of weeks after he started investing himself. He’s not on Reddit or Twitter and only lurks on 1 or 2 FB groups. He’s not selling but I wonder if he would have if I hadn’t talked so much about hodling and sitting tight…

Well, that's what FB already did. Besides they can make a new brand.

Go fast and break things (like FB does with nations) or go at a gradual pace without causing too much damage

If I own a mutual fund, I do not have shareholder voting rights in every company in the fund. I don't even get to influence what the fund holds. The fund has millions of shares with voting rights and the fund influences the board, compensation policy, bylaws and anything else that comes to a shareholder vote. look at every publicly held company and the largest most influential shareholder is Vanguard and Blackrock. They have lots of influence and control. Think about it... [FB](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/FB/holders?p=FB) and all the others. click the link and see who the biggest holders are.
