So they will beat KiK's Kin to the punch???  Kin sound like they need to speed things up.  Will this be a race, to see who is first to have a blockchain and cryptocurrency in the messenger app?   But, Kin is not creating their own platform but using other coin platform, so that itself may give less control to them.   This will be interesting. If this really works, you will have an automatic money changer.   Venders all around the world can say they are TON accepted and all you do is send it through your  phone messenger app.  This will be a huge contender to the whole Credit Card monopoly.  I did see there is room for more than one player though.  Just as there is more than just Visa.
