Hello there!

Well, no, it's not bitcoin. It's not even a real cryptocurrency, you could say is only digital currency. This is a not minable coin. It will be listed in exchanges, but since is announced as a stable coin, that means the value will supposedly always be the same. This currency practical use will be pretty much only to by ads from facebook/instagram and for the money transfer market (which I believe is what they are really after since is a multi-billion dollar industry).
