Facebook Coin.

Facebook enters the crypto space. Does that mean I can put this podcast back on my resume? Does it validate the space? Is Bitcoin threatened? What does this mean for alt-coins? Wait, did I just say alt-coins? 

Miko Matsumura and Tegan Kline discuss and debate the potential impacts of Mark Zuckerberg and his country, I mean company, stepping into the world of cryptocurrency with Facebook Libra. 

3:00 Miko's definition of Facebook coin
8:00 Summary of the problem that Facebook is claiming to solve
14:00 The risks of Facebook as the core player as reckless as they are
28:00 How Facebook Libra works, the basket, the consortium
41:00 Open Source money
