Hahaha, just read this portion now, had told someone about this, they argued about it, Bitcoin will later be the single currency of the world. More adoption will come for bitcoin and many nations will adopt it.

I'm sure they will consider BTC to be a rival after all they still can be considered an altcoin. Its becoming clear that Libra is more like of ETH, same platform idea. FAcebook however have all the advantage here.
Libra isn't a Bitcoin rival because it's mimicking fiat but in stablecoin form. It's more a rival to PayPal & Co, which they know and for that reason pais $10 million to be a validator of the Libra network.

I think this could potentially be something that will also rival XRP. I don't see why banks and other institutions wouldn't pick Libra over what XRP does. It has way more exposure and potential in my opinion, so we'll see how it goes.

Ethereum just like Bitcoin doesn't have anything to worry about. Binance chain is the biggest threat to Ethereum and all other smart contract platforms, but they first need to overcome their US exit.
I also believe that stablecoin will not make users of the social network Facebook rich,but I am personally glad even the very fact that such large platforms are beginning to use cryptocurrency.Who has not seen look one of the first promo video of the social network Facebook about Libra:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zw-jpVFKMY&feature=youtu.be

Nobody trusts Mark Zuckerberg to create a currency that anyone can own and use without repercussions

Each founding member paid a minimum of $10 million to join and optionally become a validator node operator (more on that later), gain one vote in the Libra Association council and be entitled to a share (proportionate to their investment) of the dividends from interest earned on the Libra reserve into which users pay fiat currency to receive Libra

If you want to trust a bunch of bankers and regulators to create money we all can value and trade as money (without high fees, long term costs, privacy violations, lack of security and anonymity) then go do it!!


This is good for bitcoin. Shitcoins are still shitcoins regardless who creates them.

Ain't Bitcoin what started Blockchain Technology?



Everyone knows what started the blockchain technology.
Personally, I find it normal if Bitcoin is not referred in a whitepaper. After all, this whitepaper is about Libra and not Bitcoin, if you see my point.

Account information from Calibra will not be shared with Facebook to improve things like ad targeting, except for "limited cases"

In other words, if you use your Libra coin to support a political candidate or cause that runs counter to the vision of the social justice trolls in Silicon Valley, you may find your account frozen in the name of "community safety" guidelines. Or if you otherwise commit "wrongthink" on any of the Libra consortium's supported platforms.

I mean, I don't think they really have to, unless they just want to give credit. If anything, they might even disincentivize themselves if they mentioned an indirect competitor: Bitcoin, as it might skew the other no-coiner readers to research about Bitcoin(which they most definitely don't want).



EDIT: So it is mentioned. Just on a different paper, as others have pointed out.
