.facebook unveils plan for own currency called Libra
that Zuckerberg unveiled a year earlier, saying they would revolutionize e-commerce in its Messenger app.
Calibra won't require users to have a Facebook account to make a free wallet. And it will allow people to send Libra back and forth on two of Facebook's core messaging apps — WhatsApp and Messenger. Instagram messages won't be included, at least at first. Many privacy questions remain unanswered, though. Cryptocurrencies such as Libra store all transactions on a widely distributed, encrypted "ledger" known as the blockchain. That could make the Libra blockchain a permanent record of all purchases or cash transfers every individual makes, even if they're stored under pseudonyms rather than real names.
