If I'm not wrong giving a quick read to the website is like a FIAT currency, but instead of a Country Government is backed and controlled by a network of private independent
(and sometime competitors) corporations. May not be a bad idea but can degenerate to a centralized currency if the controlling corporations shrink in number.

Start as a medium of exchange, then start usurping national currencies. Nations would not be able to legislate them away, as business and citizens would be conducting cross and intra border commerce using libra.
