Libra is both dead and alive for now. Dead in the eyes of the government. Dead insofar as its estimated initial launching date is concerned. And dead as far as many of its partners are concerned. But for sure it is still alive as far as Mark Zuckerberg is concerned. The man will definitely keep the idea very much alive until the perfect time will come for the project to get out again and be launched. This is most probably just a case of a good project in a bad time for him.
