Overview: From Libra to DiemSilicon Valley tries to disrupt the world — and the world says “no.” the biggest social network in history. A stupendous, world-shaping success. But governments were giving Facebook trouble over personal data abuses, election rigging and fake news.Mark Zuckerberg what if Facebook could pivot to finance? Or, what if Facebook started its own private world currency?Facebook could have so much power that governments couldn’t stop them. It would be the Silicon Valley dream.Facebook launched Libra in June 2019. Libra would be an international currency and payment system. It would flow instantly around the world by phone. It could even “bank the unbanked.” Libra could apparently do all this just by using a “blockchain.”But Libra would also make Facebook too big to control— and to lead the way for Facebook’s Silicon Valley fellows to swing the power of their money as they pleased. Facebook and their friends could work around any single country’s rules. Libra could shake whole economies.And Facebook would become the “digital identity” provider to the world. If you wanted to use money at all, you’d have to go through Facebook.Governments looked at Libra — and they saw another 2008 financial crisis in the making. Facebook’s plan would have made the company even more entrenched — at the cost of broken economies worldwide. Starting with toppling the US dollar.Libra was as incompetent as it was arrogant — and the world stopped it in its tracks. But how did Facebook put forward such a bizarre and ill-considered plan, that left every regulator who saw it reeling in horror?And what happens when another company tries the same trick? Or when Facebook won’t take “no” for an answer, and releases the cut-down version that they’re already calling “Libra 2.0”?“Libra Shrugged” is the story of a bad idea.Also * Bitcoin and the source of all the bad ideas in Libra.* Central Bank Digital digital versions of official legal tender, suddenly fashionable again because of Libra.* Facebook’s early forays into payments, with Facebook Credits and Messenger Payments.Table of Taking over the money 7Chapter 1: A user’s guide to Libra 9Chapter 2: The genesis of Beller’s blockchain 15Chapter 3: To launch a Let’s start a crypto 19Chapter 4: why Libra is like this 25Chapter 5: The Libra White Papers 33Chapter 6: Banking the unbanked 43Chapter 7: The Libra Reserve plan and economic stability 49Chapter 8: Libra, privacy and your digital identity 61Chapter 9: The regulators recoil in horror 67Chapter 10: David Marcus before the US House and Senate 77Chapter 11: July to September 2019: Libra runs the gauntlet 95Chapter 12: October 2019: Libra’s bad month 101Chapter 13: Mark Zuckerberg before the US House 111Chapter 14: November 2019: The comedown 123Chapter 15: Central bank digital currencies 129 Libra 2.0: not dead yet 141 2010–2013: The rise and fall of Facebook Credits 149Acknowledgements 155About the author 157Index 161Notes 167
