>Co-creator of Calibra David Marcus has posted an update on Facebook's Libra project today. He has published a new whitepaper for the project which includes several major changes.

>The project will now focus on providing individual stablecoins for specific fiat currencies, such as USD, EUR and GBP, as well as its Libra Coin. Instead of being backed by a basket of fiat currencies, the Libra coin will now be backed by the stablecoins. Smart contracts will keep its price linked to the combination of stablecoins.

>The pivot has been made following a strong backlash by regulators. As Decrypt reported, global regulators called for the project to be stopped in its tracks.

>The Libra network will now also have a comprehensive anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist protocols. It will be able to enforce sanctions over coins on the network, under requests from law enforcement. As a result, the coin will no longer be permissionless.

Stable coins that the central banks don't directly have their control over are banned*

I sincerely hope you're just being dumb ironically. If you can't see what is happening...

Oh, it's not out yet. Why would you want to buy libra? Just buy chainlink.

>> No.18500974

This is 100% about helping the central banks retain a monopoly on issuance of currency and not allowing existing stable coins to become the "new fiat." They are literally going to steal the technology, create way more scrutinization capability with Libra, then implement their own "stable coins" so they can have total control over this BS nonsense economy.

First thing I thought of when I saw his tweets was "Oh wow, this could be very good for Chainlink."

it's the first time that it's clicked to me how important LINK could be after seeing actual evidence and not just rumors/meme partnerships. Going to keep buying more LINK up until $5 I think.

Yes. And Chainlink will help do that.

If you're a capitalist libertarian and not just a purist, you're looking at Libra and thinking, "OK this sucks but how can I make money off of it?" The first thing that pops into your head when seeing those tweets should be 1) Facebook stock (boring) and 2) how are they going to keep those stablecoins pegged to currency in the smartcontract? Chainlink

The call for banning stable coins came from the FSB, Financial Stability Board.
Here's their press release on the matter: https://cryptobriefing.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/financial-stability-board-addressing-regulatory-supervisory-oversight-challenges-globals-stablecoin-arrangements-pdf.pdf
Here's part of section 5, 'High-Level Recommendations for effective regulatory, supervisory, and oversight approaches to GSCs (Global Stable Coins):
>6.Authorities should ensure that GSC arrangements have in place robust systems for safeguarding, collecting, storing and managing data. GSC arrangements should implement and operate data management systems that record and safeguard in a discoverable format relevant data and information collected and produced in the course of their operations, while conforming to all applicable data privacy requirements. Adequate controls should be in place to safeguard the integrity and security of both on-chain and off-chain data and conform to applicable data protection regulation.

Even the FUD is bullish.

It is going to be fun to watch everyone claim they were an early adopter when they are shoving life's savings into Link at $25 and they still double and triple their money. Just like BTC and just like ETH - so much fun during these times when mainstream still hasn't invested in Link.
