Webinar trip report

Q. Has Tether been successfully audited yet? Where can these reports be found?
A. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Q. What prevents Libra from creating millions/billions of tokens out of thin air like Tether has?
A. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Q. How does Libra intend to satisfy the regulators to be a real product
A. Someone on the panel actually brought up the Paypal guy leaving the Libra project but he got handwaved away by the true believers. There was a bit of back and forth about regulation including the Estonian government trying to push their own cryptocurrency and getting grief from the ECB about it.

Q. What niche does Libra serve that using the local currency doesn't already fulfill
A. Got much lower cost base [nofees!!] compared to M-Pesa and Blockchain public audit waffle

Q. Has the scaling problem with Bitcoin (4.7 transactions per second cap) been solved with Libra and how?
A. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Q. How can users be confident money they put in to or are granted as Libra will hold its value each time they need to convert them back to their local currency?
A. Libra is a stablecoin pegged to a basket of government currencies [¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Q. How does cryptocurrency work for users who are in communities where smartphones and in some cases electricity is not prevalent?
A. Got an answer to this one by using NFC cards for beneficiaries (the solution that is already happening in much of Europe with actual money)

I tried! - Am attending an irl conference with some of these people in a couple of weeks where they can't ignore me

Is Libra named after the star sign or is there somehow a dumber explanation?

it's this but instead of having an icon in your twitter name it's having a twitter name and instead of "nazi" it's "idiot"

Libra is doing well
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-50023008

quote:

Payments giants abandon Facebook's Libra cryptocurrency

Mastercard, Visa, eBay and payments firm Stripe have pulled out of Facebook’s embattled cryptocurrency project, Libra.
Their move, first reported in the Financial Times, follows the withdrawal of PayPal, announced last week.
It represents a huge blow to the social network’s plans to launch what it envisions as a global currency.

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.
