This ignores the big problems in Facebook's Libra: 1) It charges ECONOMIC RENTS. The ethical asset backed and currency backed stable coin needs to pass profits from revenue generating assets to the currency holder. The member compani

Not being able to reserve payments is a FEATURE and not a BUG. That inherintly breaks a currency that is fast and removed of human transaction approvals. My thesis is that refunds will need to operate at a business level at a higher level

Bitcoin launched with crypto that was replaced later. Yes, the algorithm, key length and similar things need to be right at the start (or back compat is harder). But the cypher and cryptography library implementation can be wholesale repl

I wouldn't worry as much about Libra’s byzantine tolerance architecture. Sure it is O(n^2) now, but it can be replaced. That can be optimized away, if the economics cause companies to push it into the market and make it have mass adop

Your US Social security retirement "invests" their money in US Tresury bonds. The US will default by 2030. Those treasury bonds turn into "IOUs" that can't be paid back, ever (aka default). By 2030, people won&#x

They look at full email bodies. For many years, they treated email older than 180 days as "Abandonded". They could collect and read these full emails (not just metadata) because they weren't private data but "abandoned
