Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder, met with Mark Carney, governor, Bank of England to discuss how a Facebook version of bitcoin would work. Facebook could utilize its massive userbase to knock bitcoin off its pedestal with GlobalCoin.

Facebook is allegedly raising money for collateral for its cryptocurrency, which will have a stable value, according to the report.
