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.

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.
  False.  Only if you use the wallet that will be built into Facebook.  If you use another wallet then they won't have any info on you.
  
  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.
  Partly.  Backed by a bunch of big companies.  The money they are putting up the money is equivalent to tethers imaginary backing funds.  they will be in charge of swapping from fiat to libra and back.
  
  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)
  False.  It is pegged to a basket of stuff (whatever that really means) so will stay at a fairly fixed value.
  
  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. 
  What does that even mean?  Wrong on so many levels I won't even bother with it.
  
  A patch over an archaic banking system that is insecure, ridiculously slow, and very expensive.
  True.
