How will the release of Libra impact the price of Ethereum?
Let's face it, this shit will have a humongous user base, and it has smartcontracts. Sure it's centralized censored crap but the average normie won't care. So, discuss.

don't forget it's a stable coin. the initial idea of backing it with a basket of fiat was interesting, but now it's 100% backed by USD, it's a literal shitcoin
imo it will only help normies get deeper into crypto, which is bullish on the long term

But it still has smartcontracts, which are the greatest feature of ethereum, so there's still competition and the risk of losing marketcap

Wrong. They hired Chainspace team which is top 3 teams in crypto and so far from the papers i've seen they're not cutting corners on the tech side.

This might be the closest we got to the "final" crypto list:
>BTC
>ETH
>The Graph
>Libra
>Dfinity
>Chainlink
>Bitcoin Cash
>Aave (?)
>Monero (?)
>Synthetix (?)

And another 2 i can't reveal rightnow, sorry.

why do you post before even reading what Libra is?
>>24377964
yes that is exactly why. US senate saw it as a threat to US 'soft' power through the dollar (this whole thing about dollar transactions being subjected to US law / sanctions). pretty interesting to see how much they actually don't care about the free market kek
>>24377980
that's true indeed and that's the most worrying part. especially when you see that they bring Uber, Lyft and others with them, so we can cross these out from eth adoption. seems like corporate will more easily "trust" a corporate-created coin
but everything on the libra chain will be subjected to censorship and control, so it can really only bring corporate's interest. it can also mean most micro transactions for mobile games will include libra fiat stable coins, taking away part of eth applications

>> No.24378633

>>24378406

ok, let's say I'm wrong BTC will be valid as a store value meaning it will serve the same function as gold.
Is that what you want? Gold is beating inflation by like 1%, do you want to park your assets in something that beats inflation by 1%?

BTC is currently not a store of value, it's price action is pricing in something else. I don't know what but it's function is clearly not a store of value right now.

investing in btc/gold/commodities = shorting the fiat ponzi
worst case scenario (great reset prophecy comes true) and we will use btc and gold to buy red meat on the black market
Libra is a 100% USD stablecoin, you are right when you say that normies will flock to it in the first place, for convenience, but as time goes by and they learn more about crypto they will realize that it's nothing more than a digital dollar and their funds are NOT safe. most of them will not care but even 5% of 2.5bln facebook users getting deeper interest is more than all current active ETH addresses

Libra dev here. You guys have no idea what is down the pipeline for Libra. We are working with Neural Net, and the Gates foundation in so many different ways. Here's a teaser. Imagine you are walking down the street after recently getting your neural link and microsoft chip implant. You see a group of BLM protestors and they are holding all of their signs up, protesting. Some rage arises within your mind, and you yell something offensive. Practically instantly, the software will begin to work it's magic and prevent you from interacting with different aspects of society. In the same situation you walk by BLM protestors, and instead of getting angry, you cheer them on and join them. Instantly we will credit you a fixed amount of libra directly to you through neural net, and you will be rewarded. You have no idea what this world will be like by 2030. Better get rich asap, cash out, and find yourself a nice off-grid self sustainable living situation.

Big tech starts and fails large tech projects all the time. Libra will go the way of Google Glass very soon, just like Kin did when they were too greedy with their ICO. And everyone in the media will have "no idea why it failed", etc. because they ignore all the corporate greed, profit for Facebook, built into projects like this.

Libra will be adopted by the normie mass, used in Latam and African countries where facebook is the most popular social media network. It is not tied to Facebook but it will promoted and embeded on it.
Facebook marketplace? Ads and Marketing with promotions to adopt it? Instagram, Whatsapp integration?
The goal of Libra is to be easy for mass adoption and it has everything it needs to achive it.
You don´t need to be a genius or a visionary to understand this is it. This is how cripto starts getting used instead of fiat.
