Interesting post and it might be good for the blockchain, as my thought is that millions of people will learn that there is actually a thing like a blockchain out there.
It might also help to remove the stigmas about crypto currency.
Blessings!
True, there are around 2 billion users of facebook as what I’ve red and majority are not aware of Blockchain so... this is really going to be big.
Have a great day!
