One of the most concerning things to come from Facebook\u2019s<\/a> cryptocurrency reveal is the number of traditional finance players who are supporting it. These are many of the same people who shunned Bitcoin<\/a>, and other cryptos, and still shun them. In light of the hype surrounding Facebook\u2019s new \u201cLibra<\/a>\u201d cryptocurrency, it\u2019s important to pause and be just as critical of it as other cryptos.<\/p>\n

Examining Facebook\u2019s Libra without the hype<\/h2>\n

The overall concern raised by observers of Facebook\u2019s cryptocurrency stem from the social media company\u2019s disconcerting past. Facebook has had to disclose several breaches that resulted in its subscribers\u2019 private information being disclosed.<\/p>\n

In addition, there are many other potential pitfalls that should be kept in mind about Facebook\u2019s newfangled crypto effort.<\/p>\n

Saving the world of the underbanked and unbanked<\/h2>\n

Facebook has long touted itself as \u201cbringing the world together.\u201d This cryptocurrency is being touted as a means to help those who do not have access to traditional banks.<\/p>\n

However, there are questions. For example, Alex Gordon-Brander of Omega One, said he was not sure if Libra is a savior for the underbanked or non-banked. It is a savior for those who have already invested time and energy in some aspect of cryptocurrency, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe FB announcement and efforts\u2014including its high-end backers\u2014legitimize digital currencies. \u00a0Yes, there will still be skepticism about various currencies and the dark underbelly of this industry, but companies and the financial community will figure out ways to leverage Libra and other worthy currencies for the same reasons other assets are traded daily.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How Facebook handles security threats will be crucial<\/h2>\n

Tech entrepreneur Hector Hoyos, the founder of Hoyos Integrity, spoke about the potential threats Facebook\u2019s cryptocurrency will face. For example, he said he worries about anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) issues that Facebook could overlook.<\/p>\n

Additionally, given the likelihood of hacking, Facebook\u2019s attention to its digital wallet is flawed, putting consumers in the Facebook ecosystem at substantial risk, Hoyos said.<\/p>\n

Observers have also noted that Facebook may not have the backend to support the crypto platform they\u2019ve been touting.<\/p>\n

Will Facebook be able to secure people\u2019s trust?<\/h2>\n

Steven Elisc, executive VP of Corporate Development at DMG Blockchain, said he expects Facebook\u2019s privacy concerns to remain at the forefront. He said:<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as Alipay and WeChat Pay are vehicles to potentially allow the Chinese government to monitor the transactions of its citizens, in a similar way, Facebook could allow transaction data to be used in a way that invades user privacy. Given ongoing news about Facebook in this regard, we expect privacy concerns to remain at the forefront.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Effects on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies<\/h2>\n

Avani Desai, is president of a security and privacy compliance assessor called Schellman & Company. Desai joined many others in saying that Facebook\u2019s crypto could be the catalyst for mass adoption of cryptos, pushing them to the next level. She pointed out:<\/p>\n

\u201cUp until now, we haven\u2019t seen institutional cash come into play due to regulations and, in my humble opinion, fear of the unknown. But Facebook\u2019s Libra will give digital currencies a level of legitimacy and acceptance we have not seen previously while providing more options than established cryptos.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Likening Libra to a \u201csecurity backbone,\u201d Desai acknowledged it will allow Facebook to gather more data. The handling of such data will be at the core of its success, considering it\u2019s done a poor job in the past. According to Desai:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Facebook develops this right, they will also be able to scale better than bitcoin and Ethereum while increasing speed and agility and revamping the crypto landscape.\u00a0\u00a0Because blockchain is open source, the benefits to this kind of a payment platform not only suit Facebook, but the consumers who buy, sell, and partner with the organization. And if these developments progress the right way, the crypto market will actually be able to achieve the stability it needs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Calling herself a crypto evangelist, Desai said Facebook has an opportunity here that will benefit newbies and veterans alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is all while increasing their own questioned transparency and further safeguarding the personal data it would be collecting.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
