Facebook, reviewing its own virtual currency issue

Facebook is reported to be reviewing its own virtual currency issue.

According to Cheddar, an American economic site, Facebook has been researching ways to add a block chain to Facebook for over a year, and has recently created a virtual currency department as part of a major reorganization.

Cedar is quoted as saying, "Facebook is seriously considering issuing virtual currency," he said, and is studying how to use block-chain technology in virtual money as well as in identity inquiries.
