You need to buy and sell within 10 seconds and only the pals of the brokerage will be able to do that.

imho
What will FB currency do?

I don't think some bright college kid is the best person to run a multi billion dollar company. Maybe share holders will find someone better.

The "targeted" advertising as far as I see is Geo targeting. All the ads I see are in Czech and absolutely of no interest to me. Maybe they will start targeting on the keyboard and computer settings. Then do some testing to see what I am interested in.

As for buying, it depends on the price. This is like betting on cards or horses, it's gambling.
