Riccardo Spagni, the lead maintainer of Monero [XMR], recently spoke about one of the most controversial centralized cryptocurrencies making a debut in the cryptocurrency market. In a conversation with Shannon Grinnell on Speaking of Crypto Podcast, Spagni remarked that the steps taken by JPMorgan and Facebook to launch their own digital coin were “really interesting”.

Spagni went on to explain that this step was interesting because it would reach millions, and probably even billions of people, particularly because of Facebook being one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. He added that these centralized entities would have to launch their own coins [JPM Coin and GlobalCoin] in a “highly regulated fashion.” Spagni also stated that through Facebook, people would eventually find their way to Bitcoin. He added,

“[…] what I’m hoping will happen is people will be exposed to cryptocurrencies through something like Facebook and then they will become interested in it and will want something that’s a little bit more, something that gives them more control and more freedom, and then they will start like Bitcoin.”

This was followed by Spagni speaking about the mass adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Fluffypony stated that he had two perspectives on the subject; mass adoption was “definitely” within grasp, considering all the main factors contributing to the adoption of crypto. Bitcoin could go on to become a “reserve currency,” instead of achieving mass adoption, he added.

“I don’t know if I’m convinced that we will achieve mass adoption and instead we will achive something like Bitcoin being the global reserve currency, which is not the same thing as mass adoption.”

He further explained,

“Reserve currencies are super useful and become like the underlying currency for like most of the cross border economic transaction in the planet, but it’s not the same thing as being used by a bunch of human beings to buy coffee and pay for their cab fare.”
