Not seeing Bitcoin as a currency is cruel, I agree. After all, the primary purpose of Bitcoin is to function as money. I really don't understand the point of this guy about the gold standard, though, because why would something so imperfect as Bitcoin as he sees it would be a standard? And is not Bitcoin too volatile for that? All in all, I agree with you that from the article Marcus does not strike me as a pro-Bitcoin guy at all. So nothing unexpected here, the Libra team thinks it can make something better than Bitcoin. Well, we'll see about that. For now, they are having a postponement after postponement.
