"As a result, one of the association's directives will be to work with the community to research and implement this transition, which will begin within five years of the public launch of the Libra Blockchain and ecosystem." I challenge the Libra team to put their money where their PR is at. Decentralization isn't impossible. Why should it take five years? This reads more like an empty, vague promise to appease the internet. "The challenge is that as of today we do not believe that there is a proven solution that can deliver the scale, stability, and security needed to support billions of people and transactions across the globe through a permissionless network." Many people in the cryptographic and distributed systems community, including me, would disagree.
