Bitcoin Q&A: Facebook Coin and JPM Coin

What are your thoughts on Facebook Coin and JPM Coin? Are you worried about the prospect of corporate or central bank coins? What will their impact be? Will they compete against open blockchains / cryptocurrencies? They are not the solution to the problems that Bitcoin is addressing, they are just another form of broken centralized currencies and financial systems.

These questions are from the February monthly subscriber session and the fifth session from MOOC 11, which took place on February 23rd and March 1st 2019, respectively.
