"Facebook in 2019 is increasingly easy for Americans and Europeans to quit without particular consequence, in a way that Google, say, isn’t.
Libra could, if it takes off, change that." https://t.co/cfbB1Obi2d
While Facebook's Libra doesn't compete against any open, public, permissionless, borderless, neutral, censorship-resistant blockchains, it *will* compete against both retail banks and central banks. This is going to be fun to watch.https://t.co/cPyoTLoaxM

here's my column on libra, facebook's new cryptocurrency. facebook doesn't really want to compete with payment processors, or even with banks -- it wants to be the platform they operate on https://t.co/Y2ffCa74bE

“Facebook’s payment product is a whole new currency because its long-term competition isn’t PayPal or Visa or even WeChat, but the renminbi, the euro, the yen, and the dollar.” https://t.co/QuAlkvVcrh

one other thing to note about facebook and libra is that the last 10 years have made it incredibly, excessively clear, how much power lies in currency and monetary authority. trump and the left have both noticed this. im sure facebook has too! https://t.co/Y2ffCa74bE

"I imagine the widespread adoption of a digital currency on an aggressively centralized and privately surveilled blockchain tied to real-name ID is not really what the bitcoin faithful had in mind when they got into cryptocurrency in the first place.” https://t.co/LtHoGauQKU

I’m trying to think of any company that I would trust less than Facebook as a steward of a global currency.
