It is known that cryptocurrency was the biggest trending topic in the industry a few years back. This was because Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, had a meteoric rise in its prices. Along with Bitcoin, the other cryptocurrencies were also seeing a tremendous increase in its prices.
Now, it is to be understood that the prices of a cryptocurrency go up when more and more people buy it. Similarly, prices fall when the people sell it instead of retaining. The same thing happened last year as people started to sell Bitcoins in the fear of a loss.
Therefore, it eventually lead to the failure of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, in general. Now, the reports suggest that Facebook is planning to introduce a new cryptocurrency to the world. Also, the company is planning to succeed where the likes of Bitcoin failed. This is by introducing mainstream consumers to the alternative world of digital coins.
Facebook, Telegram and Signal are reportedly planning to allow users to send money to contacts on their messaging systems. Facebook is reported to do this with the help of WhatsApp Payments, the payment interface of WhatsApp. On WhatsApp, users can send a coin to other WhatsApp users according to a report by at least 5 people who are aware of this Facebook project.
Now, if you think that this Facebook project will be stopped like many other previous projects then you might be wrong. This is because reports also mention that Facebook has come a very long way in this project. The company is to the extent that they have also chatted with cryptocurrency platforms. This is to sell Facebook coins to other cryptocurrency users.
Now, the chances of this project being popular is a highly likely one. Because people like to be able to transfer money, or coins in this case, easily and they can be able to send them right inside their chats then they are sure to embrace it.
