Ask HN: Will FaceBook Credits Become a Universal Currency?

1 points by Pointsly 14 years ago | 1 comment

FaceBook is apparently set to launch their 'FaceBook Credits' some time next year - is this going to become a Universal Currency? Anyone have any updates or info, comments, on this?

It will not become a universal currency for me, because I will never use Facebook Credits. I refuse to do anything actively to monetize Facebook. I'm happy to interact with my friends there, and that helps keep my friends on Facebook's social graph, but that is the most I will do for Facebook. Either Facebook will monetize through other users and keep going, or it will fizzle out like AOL and MySpace. Either way, I know how to keep up with my friends.
