Paypal to leave Libra

[desticy]

I'm not sure if Paypal left the Libra project will be stopped,
because Libra has the support of more than 20 companies.
it could be that when paypal left there were other companies that would better want to support Libra,
I do not know what the future of Libra is, but I am sure when Libra is launching, then Libra can move CMC rankings of some big coins like BNB or LTC.

Why so? Paypal is not the only strong partner entering the Libra association, there is also, for example, Visa and others.
If more than one major partner left the project overnight, then one could throw such unfounded statements, but for now I see no reason to stop such a large-scale project.
In addition, the reasons for leaving Paypal from the project are not fully known, maybe someone just put pressure on the leadership.

The article clearly says that visa and mastercard are reconsidering their involvement to Libra that means they may leave Libra at anytime and that has a big chance because the current condition of Libra in which in this case is having so many regulation backlash and negative perception.
If a big partner like Paypal is willingly to leave Libra i'm pretty sure that the rest of investors will reconsider their decision and see through what will gonna happen in the future. if you don't believe me you read it on wsj.

It has been confirmed now Libra lost one of their backer Paypal, it is about time for Visa, Mastercard, and others to take their leave because of regulatory backlash.
it seems like Libra will be done for good.

The deed is done already as PayPal has left the fold. Reactions of Mastercard and Visa is what we await at the moment because it looks like Libra and Facebook is loosing the Regulation battle with Europe. I hope we get Libra. A fully regulated one because the crypto world need all the positive news it can get now

A financial times article reports Paypal is on the verge of leaving Libra project as a founding member.
Coindesk explains it https://www.coindesk.com/paypal-might-withdraw-from-libra-association

Would it be the precursor of termination of Libra before even launching. What are your thoughts on the future of Libra? Would it even see the light?

I never even knew that PayPal was a partner in crime to Libra coin, well, it is very good they were able to easily discover that they should not have been a part of Libra coin because this Libra project is such a meaningless one to me as I don't see any role that they want to pay.

How is it possible for them to want to come up with global currency when every country is desiring to own their own National currency, and I guess one of the reasons why PayPal quickly pulled out was because of the recent proposal of the United State planning to have their own National Currency, and believe me that the United states citizens would rather prefer to give their details to their government than to register any sensitive details with Facebook through their project.

Visa and MC are going to leave to. Libra have a lot of problems

[Murat]

Paypal had to because facebook is no longer trusted by anyone even the regulators. I think PayPal took a very good decision by leaving the libra project because in the future it may harm the reputation of PayPal too. Libra is not going to add anything in crypto except for facebook as they will use it for their own platform. This project only helps Facebook financially & in gaining users.

Though it's not official yet as far as I heard. This is just rumors or this can be used as trying to shake the market again with fake news. WSJ posted this but not sure how much we can trust them. We have to wait for the official to know the truth.

[Alexandr Kirichenko]

I read this news. I think the Libra project is now on the verge of collapse. And such big players leave it for a reason. I think that there is some pressure from the States, banks and other disinterested persons. But if Libra comes to light, I think it will be a coup in relation to the cryptocurrency. And further strengthen its position.

Each and everyday we heard about  new blockchain project  coming into  the fintech side but  SEC is allowing each and  every one to do their project. but why only facebook Libra coin is under pressure. There  is  something going on behind . They  dont trust Mark Zuckerburg  because  of how  he leaks people information. how you they  trust  the same guy with  peoples money. gradually all the supporter will step  out of the project.

In the beginning Libra had very strong partners, among them were such as: eBay, PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Booking, Uber, Coinbase, Spotify. However, after Libra began to have problems with American regulators, many of these partners refused to participate in the project. It is a pity that this happens, because Libra could really replace digital money.

I believe it should have happened sooner or later, because in my eyes Libra is a direct competitor of Paypal. Libra wants to achieve cross border payments without time and place restrictions based on blockchain technology.  The same things does paypal but in a centralised way.

Then why did PayPal join Libra in the first place if it's their direct competitor? And why did all the other payment companies join Libra, if it is supposed to disrupt them?

I think they all wanted to work with Libra for better interoperability, Libra could have been a big middleman for multiple payment networks, but now that it was blocked by regulators, its backers don't want to be associated with it, it becomes a serious risk.

Also, Libra isn't decentralized alternative to companies like PayPal, it has KYC and central authorities, so it's really not that different.

[sorrros]

Paypal was a strong partner for Facebook Libra because Paypal has long-term experience with internet payments, but still they have partnered with MasterCard and Visa, if thse  companies also leave the game, Libra probably will not be strong enoug to create successful coin.

I really want this Libra to hit the market. It might not affect the market that much, but might be the door that usher more people into the crypto community. On the other hand, it might stand against what crypto true representation, which are privacy and decentralization. This privacy issue with Facebook. Now that three core members are on the verge of pulling out of the project, I don't see anyway by which the project could pull again the initial momentum if given the greenlight to proceed.

It's like the saying if you can't beat them join them. In the world of business as of now there's no such thing as direct competitor if you can invest to them and get the profit aswell. The only reason paypal leaving is because the regulation backlash and that is really understandable and I do agree as you said Libra is not decentralized by any means it is obvious that Libra is centralized. The whole thing works just like USDT or TrueUSD it's a crypto with blockchain but owned by a company and the company have the authority to do literally everything to the coin because they are the reason why that coin have a value.

If Libra project will gonna push thru, I believe PayPal will renew its collab with the project.
Libra is just under high scrutiny because of the big names and its huge scope of business surrounding it.
If the government will be loose today on this project, it would be hard for them to implement some regulations later on.
So I think, they are just taking too much precautions on this big project. Because later on, they know a lot of big industry players will follow what Libra is trying to embark on.

Really good article, coindesk is my top news site for cryptocurrencies. I can't really blame PayPal, they seem upbeat with the push for innovation, but the regulatory scrutiny surrounding it could turn into a nightmare, so I guess their considering playing it safe, from a business perspective.

they leave Libra before Libra was even created
wow such news..
its all a shit show to distract us from the real decentralized projects
Libra is not for the people it'll be made to dump on normal people to buy BTC and other real cryptocurrencies

Libra is not going to go anywhere. That is why they left that project.

[Vinalians]

Maybe paypal see a big problem on the libra cryptocurrency or on its future. Libra is the light of cryptocurrency to me, they are helping cryptocurrency to be known by people around the world. I just don't think that libra would have a big role in the community right now because there are so much cryptocurrency right now and bitcoin can provide all the needed in the society right now I guess. If libra had it's own use, I mean if it had the uniqueness above others for sure there will be a light on this cryptocurrency.

[cutesgirl]

PayPal have announce they will left Libra coin, they are not working anymore with Libra cryptocurrency because still not have planning when listing and open for public. I heard some information PayPal want to build their own cryptocurrency and left Libra for focus on their crypto how to make investor will be interested.
