I'm not sure if Libra is actually receiving enough attention. I tried to talk about Libra association with several people. Some of them familiar with blockchain, others not. Pretty much all of them facebook users.
And absolutely not even one person knew what Libra is about. Telling them about current "battle" between all major corporations (working together under Libra associations) vs goverments+central banks doesn't seem to interest people. It's strange since it's a battle betwen two huge forces, the most powerful ones on the planet I would say. And yet people do not care much.
That's my impression in Europe.
a country with 2 billion people living in it (Facebook)
Good point.
However personally I don't believe in those 2 billions. How many active users facebook actually have? Users that didn't delete account and are also using it for anything else than messanger?
How many actually trust FB? They may have enormous reach, but they are lacking that trust and I surely won't use Libra and I will recommend everyone else to do the same.
projects are rising up on the hype and it reminds me of the time BTC was rising to $20k
Indeed, we surely noticed some growing interest with crypto since Libra project has been announced. Would you think that crypto market is ready for another bull run? Are we ready for another 2017? With regulators coming back to this space with full force (which would happen if mass media would talk a lot again about crypto).
Upvote on the way :)
Yours,
