Hey Mr. Zuckerberg, Just Use SMT's As Soon As They Launch!
Facebook announced that wants to found a small team to look into possible implementations of blockchain use cases among their services. I would just recommend them to use SMT's as soon as they launch but it seems like they rather want to start from scratch.
“I'm setting up a small group to explore how to best leverage blockchain across Facebook, starting from scratch,” David Marcus, the head of Facebook’s messaging app Messenger, shared on his personal page on tuesday.
That statement doesn't really sound like anything will be happening at any time soon. But let's see, maybe we get surprised by Mr. Zuckerberg once again, who knows after he already stated, that he'd like to look into cryptocurrency a bit more...
In January, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he would be looking into digital currencies in order to explore their potential for empowering individuals. He stated that the power of decentralized systems like cryptocurrency could help take power away from the centralized system and place it back in the hands of individuals.
After reading this short excerpt I directly thought that "individuals" should most likely be replaced with "Zuckerberg" as his empire is somehow known already to be centralized and looking to control everything. That being said I don't really expect that they'll make the huge step to decentralize and empower the people rather than themselves.
This is as well the reason why I'd recommend Mr. Zuckerberg to simply implement SMT's into facebook as soon as they launch. They'll be community driven, decentralized and battle prove by then and really give the power back to the people.
It's pretty unlikely in my opinion for this to happen but one can still dream of it I guess.
What do you think?

I really respect this breakdown of cryptocurrencies, I have done a similar breakdown but from a slightly more humour based point of view, please feel free to read it, and laugh :-)

Would you really want 'big bad Facebook' to use SMTs -if/when they arrive? Imagine the blowback from the community at Steem getting into bed with ol' Zucks.
I'm sure they've looked at Steem very closely, as it's the only established social platform on blockchain. Maybe they've even considered, or enquired about buying it? It'd sure save them some time, and Facebook has bought well in the past - just look at Insta (and they tried to buy Snapchat too).
You cannot purchase everything you want in life because you have the money. You can only buy it when the board accepts to sell!
Obviously, but I was just saying they might've already considered, or approached Steem Inc (it's not something @ned would advertise if they had) - and Snapchat didn't sell, either. But for huge, cash rich companies like Facebook, they often innovate through acquisition.
