Isn’t it crazy that Libra is creating all the government pushback that we all expected to happen with bitcoin many years ago? Is it because they never took crypto seriously until the powers they understand got into it?

Perhaps the US is not so keen on having to call Facebook when they want to sanction someone?

They will green-light Libra only if Facebook gives them enough power from the shadows, there is no other way. On another hand, it will push the need for Bitcoin even further.

Or if Libra manages to instill just enough fear. The true power of the unsaid is it capitalizes on the fear of the unknown. It is a void which the interpreter fills with their greatest, or most top-of-mind, fear.
