I think most Shitcoiners are against Libra because as always they don’t want competition. As a Bitcoiner I welcome it. Ancap welcomes everyone, as long as I’m not forced to use it.

I think there is a libertarian case against crony-capitalist semi/governmental corporations wielding incredible power and lobbying for preferential anti-competitive treatment

Indeed. But not very crony in this case, they are being forced to setup in a different country because they were not able to capture the government (I’m sure they tried)

Facebook has a long way to go before they learn how to do Wall Street politics.

I thought that, but then I’d imagine they’d hire the same ppl or better and learned they still can’t get it. At least not in the tech timeframe. So they said fuck it, announced it and setup the thing in Switzerland just to piss the GOV off. They may regret it.

You are giving too much credit there. SUI appears to be the current path of least resistance. (also research Marcus’ background with the Swiss. May have played a role.) I’d say they also haven’t tried it in the U.S. because of their reputation.

I see it as too many resources, hired smart ppl, but management is too inpatient and doesn’t understand the financial space required boot liking.

I don't think expertise and pull in financial politics can just be hired -- its too easy to BS novices. One needs expertise just to know which experts to hire. Avoiding charlatanry takes a great amount of learning not obtained from and not applicable to their main lines of biz.

Agreed. Takes a long time to understand, identify, hire, train and deploy (in this order) the necessary expertise.
