I doubt it, but it depends.
Crypto is convenient for a lot of things. One of those things is money transfer. Exchange rates are generally much lower than what banks would take (depending on exchange and type of withdrawal). So if this coin get's dedicated exchange that will pay out fiat in most places of the world, and the process is fast and easy, it could have uses. For instance, BTC is anything but easy and fast, hence ETH was made, along with some others.
Lately these exchanges charge more and more for transfers and withdrawals and banks are aware of them and started raising fees towards them, some changes are inevitable to this process, regardless of facebook coin. |
