Why hasn't a major tech company like Google or FB made its own cryptocurruency yet? Is that an inevitability, or will it never happen because of some reason I can't think of?

google and facebook are huge companies with reputations to uphold. they're not going to crank out a shitcoin and start shilling until it's certain that crypto is here to stay

No, I mean starting their own coin. For example, Samsung would have SamCoin, Amazon would have Amacoin, etc. Why not corporatize your currency?

All Amazon employs would pay with Amacoin at Amazon affiliate companies. Amazon would acquire companies industries and strike partnerships with chain services so that all Amazon employs and customers could seamlessly use Amacoin. This eventually leads to corporations purchasing entire cities, or building them from scratch, and running the cities to generate profit. Corporate cities by 2100, and crypto is how we get there.

Old companies don't dominate new technologies, idk why but that's a historic precedent. If I were to guess I'd say the fact that 99/100 start ups will fail in the new industry, that brutal selection trumps a major company's R&D capacity. Visionaries rather work for themselves rather than someone else too.

I'd envision homegrown crypto as easy to create and beneficial to the organization. If a company made a crypto, it'd be a lot different than some geeks out a garage launching their ico.

I think these kind of companys are more likely to just buy out the most promising start up block chain companys like they do with everything else.

They wont make their own, they dont need to, theyre comfy af and will just sit back and watch till they see what the good stuff is.

Hint: Never. They acquire, like any fucking non-retard company would do.

They're waiting to see who the players who come out on top are, then will start moving in for acquisitions.

I work for one of these companies as a lead distributed systems engineer.

The reason we don't adopt crypto is because blockchain technology is not even close to technically sound. It doesn't really have any suitable use cases, and when it can be used for something there is already a better technology there.

You can't fucking "acquire" a decentralized cryptocurrency. That is the whole point of a decentralized, trustless system, so one entity cannot control it.

Cryptos not just a business you can have on the side. It should be integrated throughout the company, from the ground up. The logistics behind taking an existing coin and retrofitting it to fit the company sounds like a nightmare compared to just making your own from scratch.

Also, I don't know if it's obvious, but companies don't look as crypto as an asset or a business group -- they see it (or should see it) as a tool to be leveraged company-wide to eventually achieve >>7155316
