Today’s horoscope for Libra: You’re obsessed with justice but can be a little loose with your money. So beware large tech companies under antitrust scrutiny launching new projects today. Stop and ask yourself: When Moon? https://t.co/KxBWIXs9yY

Create a new kind of value exchange. Build it into the four most popular apps on people's phones. Then don't let Jeff in. That's my view of @facebook's new #cryptocurrency #libra https://t.co/vfl54Cx1MQ
Do you have 2.4 billion users and your own (even if crypto) currency? Effectively this makes you a pretty serous Central Bank. Major challenge for classic countries, states, order maybe. https://t.co/eUQcP0wVNf

tl;dr: FB's Libra is a unscalable centralized database, implemented with an internal chain that users must trust and aren't going to validate.

But the politics! They're proposing a private currency backed by assets. Hell of a challenge to central banks.
