Libra’s David Marcus: ‘Special thanks to Visa & Mastercard for sticking it out until the 11th hour.’ 

Twitter avatar for @davidmarcusDavid Marcus @davidmarcus
Special thanks to @Visa and @Mastercard for sticking it out until the 11th hour. The pressure has been intense (understatement), and I respect their decision to wait until there’s regulatory clarity for @Libra_ to proceed, vs. the invoked threats (by many) on their biz.

    I would caution against reading the fate of Libra into this update. Of course, it’s not great news in the short term, but in a way it’s liberating. Stay tuned for more very soon. Change of this magnitude is hard. You know you’re on to something when so much pressure builds up.

    @davidmarcus @Visa @Mastercard @Libra_ You might want to ask yourself why the pressure has been so intense. And read some history that Bitcoin pioneers were aware of, for example the failure of e-gold. Your failure to learn from history has caused you to at great cost recapitulate the failures of the past.

Nick Szabo hates on Vlad Zamfir.

Twitter avatar for @NickSzabo4Nick Szabo 🔑 @NickSzabo4
@Fatalmeh @cyrillapinte Unblocking to respond, will likely reblock soon. That tweet wasn't the reason. The first half of it is actually good, the second so-so. The reason is your pathetic fandom for Vlad Zamfir. That's a red flag for being hopelessly clueless and more or less an automatic block.

Twitter avatar for @lrettigLane Rettig @lrettig
@VitalikButerin: something else we've underestimated is the importance of community. Two years ago I was a believer that if you built good tech they would come. We now see that without investing in community the good tech won't come, or it won't be that good.
