Big investors realize that Libra is the future of cryptocurrency, not Bitcoin.
Many here will scream "But Libra is not a real cryptocurrency.".
That may be true at the bootstrapping phase, but they have promised and pledged to open source and fully decentralize the network once it is running after five years.
you can't "fully decentralize" a network where the token is centrally backed with custodied assets. libra is backed by a basket of assets like fiat currencies. what happens if those assets collapse in value? what happens if powerful governments like the USA shut them down or freeze their bank accounts?
not to mention that KYC is required from the get-go for every user. full AML controls. your account can be frozen or transactions reversed because there's only a few dozen validators on a permissioned network. how else do you expect them to comply with the USA nanny state laws? fully decentralized my ass!
