> Facebook’s currency will probably use this method...the holders of the currency vote for what happens on the network

What are you basing this assumption on?

From everything Facebook has ever done to date, I expect Zuckcoin will use the method of "what FB says goes, and if you don't like it, you can pound sand."

Which really boils down to 'what Zuckerberg says goes" so you want to put the control of a currency, perhaps used by 1bn real users, in the hands of a single greedy individual who has already shown contempt for users and their data.

If that is true then this isn’t a cryptocurrency and in my mind is not newsworthy
