RE: Congressional Oversight Hearing on Facebook's Libra Cryptocurrency
Thanks for your comment Piotr! I feel Libra would be a threat to current monetary systems, but that is no different than Bitcoin or any other crypto that may make a mass adoption into the market. Facebook has more power than I think people realize and they are the last company I would want to see with a hold on the financial sector. You may need to still use fiat over the coming years, but the goal would be to move into the crypto space for all forms of payment. Fiat currency is fully capable of collapse. Just because the dollar is the most powerful currency in the world today doesn't mean it will be tomorrow. In the mean time you can sell crypto for fiat if need be and during the bull runs your crypto is giving you more fiat than your fiat ever would have if you left it sitting somewhere.
awesome reply @roundoar03
I feel Libra cannot be real threat as long as they are not being used to pay for oil, used to cover goverment expenses and mostly: debts and mortgages - also will be in FIAT, not libra.
Not to mention: all companies around the world will use FIAT for very many years. Try to re-educate any accounting person and you will see how difficult and challenging it is :)
However I'm not sure if my claims are right or wrong. Somehow more I think about Libra, less I'm worried. Maybe FIAT will die one day, but probably we all will die before it happens.
I also wanted to make some suggestion.
My impression is, that the hardest part of attracting attention on STEEMIT is the fact, that our audience have very little chance to actually find our publications. Lack of solid notification system is an obvious issue. And regardless how hard I would try - there is very little chance I would find out about your new interesting publications (my feed is just flooded with to many posts).
Please allow me to share some suggestion with you. If you would ever publish content related to blockchain, crypto, artificial intelligence, psychology etc. then perhaps you could simply send me memo with link to that post.
This way not only I would have a chance to read your publication, drop a comment but I will also `upvote it right away with almost 20k SP voting power (I also have almost 10k PAL tokens, which may give you some extra benefits is you're using PALnet.io)
Please let me know what do you think. This surely should sound like a interesting offer :))
Cheers, Piotr
I have not been very active posting lately, but I will be sure to try and notify you of any new publications. I appreciate your genuine interaction!
