fluctuation that has hit bitcoin will it catch on facebook bets the scale off the social network and its services with $2400000000.00 monthly users with forge a new marketplace for streamlined purchases and exchanges so let's talk about this story is big news let me down draw in x. but to talk about this story i'm joined by shot and he is head of marketing at lisk chain app platform so it's almost a lot of big claims but is it a good idea to put facebook in charge of your finances yeah it's actually very big news i think this is a big move coming from one of the well the biggest social media platform in the world and i think the sort of partnership list and there are collaborating with very big companies all around the world and the reason why to do this is most likely to mine more user data to get more insight in our purchasing behavior maybe
1:18 pm
additional revenue stream and all this gives them extra power i think for the use of the platform like what's up and instagram it will increase the user experience but from one it's very angle i'm not yet sure if this is the way to. go we separated church from state back in the days and i think would be coined we are separating the money from the state and i think we should also keep big tech companies separate from money as well this is it is it giving facebook too much fuss some people already warning that facebook with its market is now becoming something like a private central bank is that the same. in broad terms i definitely think this is the underlying thought of facebook. think that. it's way more compared to central banking and traditional banking then and then it is compared to bits going i think that you see with apple pay google pay some soon pay apple collaborating with goldman sachs on a credit card you see that moves. big tech companies are moving to defend space.
1:19 pm
and i think traditional banks really have to ask themselves how they're going to compete with those big tech firms in the future you see with the stock prices really as an a very old time low so again i want to explain this that would you use facebook's a trip to concept would you use leave your next that well i mean the facebook ecosystem so i'm using facebook i'm using whatsapp so if this gives user experience improvements paying back coffee over what's up for example i definitely think i will use it but i will not use it to store my celery and i also will not convert my bitcoins into their leave recording because i still have to trust facebook in contrast to be it's going to what would this mean for the cryptic kind of landscape well in general think it is it's a good thing to the pio of the cryptocurrency space getting it only increase the think we've seen increasing awareness and making people more familiar with a crypto wallets. i don't think really how i would summarize it as
