Facebook wants to create it’s own digital currency similar to Bitcoin called “Libra.”
The tech giant with billions of users plans to dive into the hopefully-very-secure-and-impossible-to-hack financial world of “cryptocurrency,” with hopes that it may bring more e-commerce and ads to Facebook.
Since this is the same company that helped Russians gin up their election meddling operation, compromised the privacy of millions of users and helped foment genocide, I think I’ll keep my pennies in my mattress for now.
