Why would anyone join Mark Zuckerberg's Cryptocurrency scheme?

I think cryptocurrencies may indeed be part of the future, especially because governments around the world have destroyed the value of their currencies. (And it is only going to get worse with time).. However, why would I get a cryptocurrency backed by some creepy authoritarian mastermind like Mark Zuckerberg? The whole point of cryptocurrencies is to move beyond centralized control. Zuckerberg will fail.
