2) change of this magnitude is hard and requires courage + it will be a long journey. For Libra to succeed it needs committed members, and while I have no knowledge of specific organizations plans to not step up, commitment to the mission is more important than anything else;

Felt like addressing this. 1) official 1st wave of Libra Association members will be formalized in the weeks to come; (continued) https://t.co/baZkFlGN9O

3) The part of this article suggesting we weren't on top of, or didn't share detailed information about how to secure Libra and protect the network against illegal activity is categorically untrue; (worth calling BS)

4) The tone of some of this reporting suggests angst, etc... I can tell you that we're very calmly, and confidently working through the legitimate concerns that Libra has raised by bringing conversations about the value of digital currencies to the forefront.

I keep saying: permissioned systems are very hard to keep together. The coalitions always crack.

You need to have a way to connect permissioned networks like Libra to larger, permissionless systems. Let's give FB time, they'll eventually get it.https://t.co/xHCISuh9xM
