Bullish or bearish for BTC?

Whether Facebook’s Stable Coin that will be backed by a basket of currencies, will have a positive or negative impact on Bitcoin, is not yet clear. However, BTC brings to the table a number of properties that can not meet GlobalCoin. A centralized cryptocurrency is not censorship-resistant. Also, legitimate anonymity claims of the customer will be able to meet the Facebook-Coin hardly. Finally, the Social Media giant is not just for the responsible handling of personal data.

In any case, Facebook is not guided by its thrust to the public attention again on the topic of crypto-currencies. And that is for Bitcoin good news.
