Years of jokes about \u201cFaceCoin\u201d and \u201cZuckBucks\u201d have finally come to life \u2013 sort of. In a previous episode, he talked about how some venture capitalists are monkeying around by downplaying the killer applications of open blockchains  in favor of\u2026 bananas. Now he makes us wonder whether Libra will even survive to become a production network. Is Silicon Valley coming for banking? Will Libra\u2019s challenges have any impact on open public blockchains?

This talk took place on June 19th, 2019 at the Scottish Blockchain Meetup in Edinburgh, Scotland.
