I'd be interested to hear responses from among the 1.X billion unbanked people in developing countries. I think the goal of Libra is to turn this population into sticky Facebook users. Facebook has saturated the developed world. Meanwh

I'm confused why somebody would claim to possess an immense fortune (Satoshi's blocks are currently worth ~$10B) without being able to verify and/or access that fortune. Congrats. Now you have a huge target on your back. Watc
