**Facebook Coin **(FBC) is 📝Facebook's much speculated 🏷️#cryptocurrency stemming from CEO 📝Mark Zuckerberg's post sharing his 2018 mission statement. [1] Zuckerberg only mentioned cryptocurrency only in passing as an example of technology that decentralizes power. [2]
This seems, to me, like another instance of 📝Techno-Fundamentalism. [3] That's not to say that the technology is without value, but rather that this decision seems to be unconscientious desperation.
