You all remember when facebook decided to ban all cryptocurrency advertisements?
I was among one of the people who was angered by this move to ban cryptocurrency advertisements and everything about crypto.
Earlier on when the year began, facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (pardon me! Not sure whether i spelt the name 'Zuckerberg' correctly but i am sure you all get it right?) had announced that he was doing research on blockchain technology and decentralization.
He also added that Facebook was looking to use blockchain tech and crypto once it gets a clear understanding of how they work.
This was pretty huge and positive news for the crypto-community and crypto-space at large.
Somewhere in between January/February i started seeing rumors and blog posts about Charlie Lee (Litecoin) planning to partner with Facebook. That was yet another amazing news(if at all it was true) for cryptocurrency holders; more so litecoin holders. I actually started buying and hodling litecoin because of this. Unfortunately i have no idea how the whole hype around litecoin partnering with facebook ended or whether the plan is still live.
Even after facebook announced that it was looking to add crypto and blockchain, it went ahead to completely ban cryptocurrency adverts, initial coin offerings and everything crypto. "How ironic?"
Well after banning crypto ads, issues and controversies arose that facebook had leaked and sold it's users data to companies which the faceebook CEO admitted was true. He even went ahead to apologize and said he would fix privacy issues that facebook has and also promised to protect users' data.
Well just the other day i was reading that facebook messenger had formed a cryptogroup to experiment and test how blockchain works and whether it will help solve the privacy issues facebook has experienced.
It seems like facebook will be jumping into the blockchain train after all; even after their so called cryptoban. Again how ironic?
Well let us just say no one can fight blockchain and the amazing tech it brings with it.
That tells me one thing, it ain't long enough until the likes of google, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates change their negative stand/mentality towards cryptocurrency and blockchain.

Zuckerberg has gotten wiser.
