And i am existing for it.
If you mean you're "excited for it" I pity you, and if you ever buy Facebook's shitcoin, I will double that pity. 

I wouldn't go so far as to say only suckers use Facebook, because that would be insulting people I know who aren't suckers, but man....people who use it just don't value their privacy at all.  Facebook is probably worse than google in that respect, and I try not to use google's services when possible, but they're everywhere.

As far as FB's coin goes, I'm not sure how much of a splash it's going to make.  As I said in another thread, the best thing I see coming from it is that it might get people interested in real cryptos like bitcoin.  I don't know many details about it, though.  At the very least it'll be interesting to see how it works, if it catches on, and if it's just another privacy-destroying tool Facebook is going to add to its armament.
