Yes they will, but when and how will fast can they adapt?
If fb launches it's own blockchain and start paying it's users for just using, it means 2 drastic things:
- It validates Steem and all it possible future fb blockchain competition.
- It is a Big cut into it's earning. Imagine the shares dropping from half a Trillion by 50%. and Imagine just 10% of that money going into Steem....big implications. Money always flows to stronger underdog competitor in a fight.
I look forward to the day they see the tsunami coming and do fight with Steem.
Yes, there's the ticket. If FB does not eventually see steemit as a threat, it will AT LEAST see it as an example of what they could be doing. Let's just hope they don't catch on TOO soon...because then steemit will potentially lose opportunity value.
