>The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, believes Facebook Coin has all but moved forward. Something like a stablecoin, it will be pegged to “a basket of government-issued currencies,” with a dozen or so “financial firms and e-commerce companies [investing] around $10 million each in a consortium that will govern the digital coin,” which include the likes of Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Uber, Stripe Inc., Booking.com and MercadoLibre Inc. CoinSpice recaps the project’s journey thus far.
>Most are sure it will be a stablecoin, as the notorious swings of cryptocurrency markets have been a continual bugaboo for institutional finance getting more involved. The project is named Libra, and “revolves around a digital coin that its users could send to each other and use to make purchases both on Facebook and across the internet,” the Journal explained. Facebook has remained silent officially.
>Bitcoin (BTC) as a project has failed to gain mass adoption many hoped for it by now, a full decade-on. Some blame high fees, slow transaction times, price volatility, toxicity as reasons for the snail’s pace. Others simply believe the regulatory hurdles and lack of infrastructure doom BTC altogether. And press accounts about linking cryptocurrency to money laundering and terrorism haven’t helped its public relations image.

>>14190863
It has not been adopted and never can be because of high fees and slow transaction times. Even during the 2017 bullrun when bitcoin still had a market cap worth less than the valuation of Apple, a single company, fees were ridiculously high and people were waiting days, sometimes even more than a week to transact bitcoin.
If it were ever to be adopted as an actual currency used by billions of people the transaction fees would cost more than most transactions and people would wait months or possibly over a year for a transaction. It's just not possible.

Other currencies like Dash have a chance and are being used by thousands of businesses around the world, but bitcoin is obsolete when it comes to any real adoption past people using it to by LSD on the dark web
