I understand that Libra coin is "centralized", but so is XRP...How can you love XRP, but hate Libra coin? Granted, I don't support or like FB, but this is a giant step towards mainstream adoption. This is a HUGE turning point for this community. If you read the article linked below, you can see how many ppl despise this coin.

Those main reason probably was that it is centralize, and many community in the entire world are not deeply mature in crytpo or blockchain technology, all they know was they one of the subscribers of Facebook but they're not aware about the difference between centralize and decentralized system in terms of cryptocurrency.

not everyone hates facebook coin, many of them are still waiting for the facebook coin to be launched, so I think this is a normal thing if anyone likes and there are those who don't like new coins.

Agree, even many investors are looking forward to the launch of Libra Coin because many will surely use it. With the number of members reaching billions, Libra Coin's chances of success are very large and also Facebook members can transact between members quickly and cheaply

I prefer Libra Coin compared to XRP. But I think no one hates Libra Coin and can even be said to be enthusiastic because with the Libra Coin, the adoption of cryptocurrency will be faster

Says who? Who they hell loves ripple, for the fact that you see ripple on that top doesn’t mean it is because of people’s love for it, in fact ripple team must have been a very strong one that they are still surviving despite all the stones thrown at them almost everywhere. People don’t like appreciate anything that is fully centered on centralization again.

Most of the coins that are centralized in nature are being hated because they are already going out of the reason why cryptocurrency was created and Facebook is not exceptional of this also, people will use Facebook quite alright, but would not be as a result of their love for it, since it is going to be more like a centralized token too which may be competing so much with ripple.

I don't know about these people, but for me, it's just ok and alright for Facebook coin to launch their own coin and to pick and create their own roadmap and platform, some years ago there is a lot of speculation that Facebook is going to have their own coin and now it's happening, people just welcome what eventually going to happen.

Yes, that is a bad past that I still remember that Facebook once banned Cryptocurrency ads on its Facebook, and at that time I really hated it too, but we must forget the past, we see that Facebook will increase the price of Bitcoin again by joining cyptocurrency this time.

As you have said it is centralized and they collect almost every data that they can. Where you have got that idea that people should love xrp and love libra at the same time?
You just can't tell people what to hate and what to love.

The main problem with libra coin once it is operational is the privacy of those individuals that will use this stable coin. If they are collecting data from all your expenses or coin movements, basically, they know your everyday pattern. And you don't know where those data will end up to? Is FB team really a trusted group? If you are an active fb user, for sure they know most of your life already.

OP's provided link has 0 comment so there's no people hating on Libra there  Huh

There will be always a hater/s on everything and Libra Coin is no exemption but I see more of a good side on it rather than the bad because it will expose the idea of cryptocurrency to those people who are less knowledgable about it and with that Bitcoin and other altcoins will benefit from it too.

XRP and other centralized cryptocurrency was there for a long time then why we would hate Libra coin?

**EDIT - seeking to get this discussion further I have copied and pasted it to make a new topic.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/libra-strategy-for-world-domination-5159302

I don't think that people hate Libra, I think they are worried, maybe even afraid?

Lets think about the facts:
- Facebook has 1/3 of the world as its user base (2.4 billion users)
- Libra coin will be very easily accessible to all of facebooks users
- Libra coin will be a stable coin, price will not fluctuate providing users in 3rd world countries with a medium to store their wealth.


There are already countries (like venezuela) where a national financial crisis caused fiat money to lose all worth. In desperation people are moving their life savings to bitcoin... Considering that bitcoin is a hard resource for the average person to use, imagine how quick adoption of Libra will be. Libra will be available to use on every cheap smartphone. Developed by Facebook it is sure to be a very user friendly experience, everyone will be able to use Libra. People will use it like real money in every possible way through things like facebook messenger, online shops, international transfers, peer to peer transfers...

Facebook has penetrated our lives in almost all possible ways; relationships, news, entertainment, social gatherings, advertising... the list goes on. The only thing facebook still doesn't have control over is our money. Here comes Libra...  

The snowball is rolling, it can not be stopped.

Imagine the world in 20, maybe 50 years.

With the addition of Libra, and a very smart plan for user adoption Facebook can rise to a position of such great power, that it will be in control of the whole world.

Because it is not a crypto currency, as they stated already. Libra coin is another centralised payment method, based on blockchain but this is it. Nothing more familiar with crypto currencies industry and it would be strange if Libra would be called a crypto currency.

You just can't tell people what to hate and what to love.

No one pushes people to invest in Libra and share their data. I guess Libra is not loved for many other reasons. Although it will be not real crypto, Libra can compete with the best altcoins and even Bitcoin as the currency for online operations. It will be a global stable coin, which should open the doors to the world of financial services for more than a billion people around the world who cannot receive these services from banks.

I want to invest with LIBRA coin as the hype in the community is really high.
It is also an eye opener for many people who dont know cryptocurrency.
It may also be a bridge for the crypto to countries and merchant for acceptance.
Though the idea of being centralize is not a good thing.

Firstly, people hate Mark Zuckerberg after his data selling incident. How can you possibly believe in a person who once stabbed on your back? Secondly, cryptocurrency is all about decentralization meanwhile Libra is obviously centralized. Finally, Libra, with the population of facebook, will affect crypto and make goverments take eyes or even insert their nose to cryptoworld. The only thin Libra can contribute is a free marketing tool to cryptocurrency world.
Really understand why people hating on it but actually Libra has stated that it's a stablecoin and there's plenty of centralized stablecoin aswell, I don't see any problem with this though and USDT or such receive less hate from people, maybe the image of being issued by a huge company affects a lot.

I think many hates facebook coin because it seems it can threaten the bitcoin dominance since libra gained supporters through facebook users.

Well they even compare Libra to bitcoin which I think is not right because Libra is centralized and a stable coin while bitcoin is the total opposite. Instead of bitcoin, why they didnt compare it to USDT since its a stable coin too.

It is possible that some hate this new facebook coin because of that but I find unlikely that we are going to see that coin threatening the dominance of bitcoin over the market, there are many coins out there which are similar or that have principles that run against the principles of bitcoin and yet not a single one of them has proven to be a long term threat to bitcoin and since Libra is going to be nothing more but another stable coin I doubt much is going to change in this market.

It is not going to do anything for our crypto field because it is centralized so will work for the profits of people who created it not for the users.Stable currecy means value of fiat so it is not going to give any profits literally due to the inflation.

The Facebook coin is a very hypocritical project.

First Facebook do not allow crypto ads or pages! But they advertise their own coin at will, that doesn't sound fair right?

Then the Facebook coin is centralized, under the feeling it is not. Actually you cannot mine it and you can reverse any transaction just with the private key that Facebook and the US government will have of course.

So if you want your money safe, avoid this coin. FB is a s*hit company, who desperately need to bond with the US government to avoid being investigated. Like Microsoft, they will do whatever it takes to pet the NSA and get away with all their illegal behaviors.

The main purpose for which bitcoin and cryptocurrency were created was to create a decentralized system that is without the interference of government or centralized organizations.
It already seems that will be hard to achieve because the crypto world still needs to have some government regulations in order to achieve main stream usage.
Hating facebook coin because of its centralized nature is pointless because it will promote more adoption of cryptocurrencies for the world

The people that hate ripple are the same people that hate this new facebook coin, and they hate it for the same reasons, it is a centralized coin controlled by a big corporation that wants to take your privacy away by all means available to them, however that is not going to stop this new coin to be extremely popular among many members of the community so I am not worried about the success of this coin, however even if this is a step in the long road towards adoption I do not consider it a forward step, after all what is the point of having cryptocurrencies becoming more popular if the coins that are the most used are the same as fiat?

Um, everyone hates xrp.
Just because it is the 3rd biggest coin doesn't mean people like it you know.

For Libra, you really need to think, "What kind of mainstream adoption do I want?"
Just because it is mainstream doesn't mean it is good.
In fact, blockchain was first designed to go against the mainstream financial institutions.
For crypto enthusiasts, it is not just about making money, it is about the evolution on how we interact and do business with each other.

Libra is a step in the wrong direction.
They are taking the best parts of blockchain and trying to control it.
A good analogy would be the debate on internet bandwith in america where major corporations want to be able to control bandwith and charge for more.

Satoshi made bitcoin to provide a way to circumvent these big banks and megacorporations, not give them more control.

I understand that Libra coin is "centralized", but so is XRP...How can you love XRP, but hate Libra coin? Granted, I don't support or like FB, but this is a giant step towards mainstream adoption. This is a HUGE turning point for this community. If you read the article linked below, you can see how many ppl despise this coin. They think that this is "bad" for the community, but in actuality this is a giant step towards mainstream adoption/acceptance.

I don't think Libra is bad. But you seem to misunderstand the nature between XRP and Libra. Libra is not crypto like XRP. Libra is stablecoin. It's like USDT, USDC, PAX, ...

However, the market needs such coins. It's like a armor for a trader. This will partly help the community expand. That's the value Stablecoin created.

Buddy we should try to respect each others choice, everyone has its own decision, Maybe its favor or infavor as we see Facebook's Libra is one of the hottest topic around the cryptospace, and even the people that are not crypto aligned also capture and joined the topic and start asking about cryptocurrency, for me the hype was effective for the facebook users and starting to explore about the world of cryptocurrency we should avoid spreading hate just spread the kindness.

How can they hate Libra?
to my knowledge Libra will be a stable coin right?
it seems that it won't have a major impact on other cryptocurrencies.

why replace central banks worldwide with a super central bank controlled by a few companies?
it's a terrible scenario, this is the opposite of bitcoin. it's even bigger - and worse - than xrp

You can sell or buy whatever you like, no one persuades you not to buy centralized shit coins. But as I see Libra is a tool to manipulate people's wealth, centralization is not what the crypto community wanted. To use Libra =  to use bank services.

Because that will be a centralized coin. Crypto is a coin that used p2p system that based on the decentralized network. Remember about a big olayer will always try to create domination. That makes some people are speculating if fb wanna try to get a lot of monry only from libra

By the way Libra (Facebook coin) is a stable coin like tether or PAX (fiat stable coin). and all fiat stable coin must be centralized because they need backed by fiat and the company must prove it.

Recollect for yourself the news on Facebook that they ban the cryptocurrency advertising. And now we see that they themselves are launching such a project is Also centralized. And provide them with your personal information. I'd rather use my Bank than trust Facebook. I don't see why I should like their Libra.

Not all hate Libra. Sometimes only a group of people who hate because they have reasonable reasons.
Indeed, with the emergence of Libra will have positive and negative values for the world of cryptocurrency.

The major reason why many crypto enthusiasts stand against or show concern about Libra is because facebook announcement about ban of crypto ads once caused a downtrend in the entire market. Now they are doing their own coin, many will look at it the other way round, it's not their fault entirely. Well, I believe Libra is a welcome development.

Yeah I also think this is one of the reason, facebook announcement about ban of crypto ads is the cause. this announcement  is like Facebook wanna cut off the other coins, but who can say no about it because its their privilege to do that.

probably, Libra will be one of the valuable coins at the future and it will have high value better than XRP. So far, the hype of Libra really can influence many sectors, moreover it is created by the high company, Facebook. Well, Libra will be a stable coin an dit may be centralized, it may be also used for payment method around the world. This thing may infleunce the crypto holders chance to make other cryptos better.

The wonders of the blockchain technology
Personally,  i think it will be too much power vested in libra if it is launched. Just imagine the 27 big companies that are involved with a lot of their customers.... Apart from being centralized,  these guys can decide anything and NOBODY will be able to do or say anything about it. I am happy US lawmakers intervened and told facebook to come and answer allegations levied against it first.
2. Why would you need a permissioned blockchain  for a stablecoin?. This is not a blockchain that will allow dapps to be built on it.... It's just for remmitance!!!

If a big believer in decentralization, then yeah, you'll hate FB coin.

For most of the world, they could care less if a coin is decentralized. To be honest, I'm not
sure how a stable coin could even be decentralized to begin with. I'm not a fan of FB myself,
but overall I consider Libra a good thing.

It shows the public that crypto will go mainstream.

As you have said it is centralized and they collect almost every data that they can. Where you have got that idea that people should love xrp and love libra at the same time?
You just can't tell people what to hate and what to love.
