I thought it might be valuable to point out some of the key differences between FaceBook’s new Libra coin and Bitcoin. They are certainly not the same. The greatest features of bitcoin center around it’s decentralized network.

Bitcoin is:

• A currency that disconnects your identity from your money.
  
  Owned only by the user who posses it. 
  
  A currency that has a production, circulation, and distribution which is beyond the control of any government, business, or ANY entity at all.
  
  A currency that can be used in any country for any transaction and is beyond anyone’s ability to compel or deny a transaction.
  
  The cheapest, fastest, and most secure way to send money yet invented.
  

Libra is:

• A currency that ties not only your basic identity to your money, but includes all the details found on your FB, instagram, What’sApp, and other social media. A near perfect coin for stealing your identity.
  
  Owned by a banking cabal including PayPal, MasterCard, FaceBook, Andreessen Horowitz, etc. Users may use their coins if they follow all rules required by the owner companies. Users must also accept that these rules may change at any time for any reason the owner companies decide.
  
  A currency who’s distribution, supply, and all other parameters are under the complete control of the owners. They can change the valuation or double the circulation.  (Owners, not Users – FaceBook and it’s partners are the owners of the money)
  
  A currency that can be used at FaceBook’s partner stores. It allows FB partners to pry into your spending habits in an unprecedented way. You may only use their money if they receive a cut of the money and all transactions are allowed only if FB decides it is okay for you to do. 
  
  A patch over an archaic banking system that is insecure, ridiculously slow, and very
  expensive.
