Facebook’s fiat and government bond backed cryptocurrency Libra is widely considered a net positive for bitcoin.Still do you think that,Bitcoin has come under pressure ahead of the U.S. governmental hearings on Facebook’s Libra cryptocurrency?

What I consider here concerning the issue of bitcoin and Facebook Libra project bitcoin has been existing before Libra project was announced and the US government has the damage that could be because of the person behind the Libra project I think that's why the government of the US are kicking against Libra coins because is going to be a global currency and it could affect the use of dollar, but Libra cannot do without bitcoin because Libra coins is going to be tied to bitcoin.

I never think Bitcoin won't be under pressure even if there is a lot of negative issues on it. Bitcoin has accustomed to such situations. And finally, Bitcoin can still survive and improve its value. So, I believe that Libra and US governmental issues won't give bad impacts.

Libra is nothing more than a variation of the traditional financial system. This should not have much impact on btc price.

I am a little afraid that if Libra appears, then many will prefer to use it as a means of payment, and not Bitcoin. However, it seems to me that this sensational coin may not be if the US Congress adopts a bill aimed against the emergence of this coin and prohibiting IT-campaigns with a capital turnover of more than $ 12 billion to participate in such financial projects.

Kind of earthquake? Do you mean a big increase in Bitcoin or a decline in Bitcoin?
I think there is no big influence of Libra to Bitcoin price. Bitcoin price will increase and drop like its natural cycles. We can see that the price of BTC drops even if there will be the Libra coin.

I also think so. Even now, when Libra is not yet released, we feel that it affects Bitcoin and the market of cryptocurrency. When the coin is launched, it will be a really great revolution.

Libra may give the influence to BTC price, but the influence only effects for a moment. The news of Libra ensures people for the future of Bitcoin and crypto future. It is like big support from a big company like Facebook that wants to create Libra coin.

I think many of us here are just anticipating, some positive on the yet to be Facebook's Libra coin outcome. In my opinion, Libra coin may not influence bitcoin in which ever ways anyone might looked at it. One thing the Libra project has succeeded to achieve for now is the increase awareness of bitcoin globally. The news, criticism, surport from defferent persons around the world has fuel in more inquiries, legitimate of bitcoint here by making many people getting interested in crypto.

Bitcoin remains a Bitcoin and Bitcoin will never be affected by any altcoins including Libra.
I am sure to bet on Bitcoin that will never be shaken by the financial strength of Libra . Libra is just a doll that is owned by the mastermind of Facebook!

Actually, I think Libra's rejection from the US government has some specific effects on the whole cryptocurrency market. It's not directly on bitcoin but cash flow withdrawal from the market indirectly affect bitcoin's price. Imagine if Libra got approval from government, huge money will be poured into market, bitcoin and altcoins would simultaneously increase. Everyone wants that scenario to happen.

If Libra is released, which I deeply doubt now, it will definitely influence the price of Bitcoin, since it will divert some of the funds that could be invested in cryptocurrency, and in particular, in Bitcoin.

Let's see if Libra can be created first and we can know whether it has influences on Bitcoin or not. I will never say Libra can give impacts or influences to Bitcoin as long as it is just a plan. There are too many issues related Libra currently, I doubt it can be created soon.

Bitcoin is the king of Cryptocurrency, and LIBRA is a Cryptocurrency coin that will be published by the largest social media in the World.  then who will rule later ?!  if in my opinion, Bitcoin will still be number one.  However, Bitcoin has gained wide-ranging trust from all people and the world.

Bitcoin always gets pressure from the government, because Satoshi Nakamoto clearly writes this in the whitepaper.
in fact, this situation will be increasingly difficult for every government that prohibits crypto.
If they find Bitcoin from scratch, I mean if the American government creates Bitcoin, they won't ban cryptocurrency.

The influence of Bitcoin has only been felt since 2016 and then 2017 is the point where Bitcoin returns to the Moon and reaches All Time High.
Then now comes the name Libra, a coin that is supported by the Facebook project in the world of crytpocurrency.

All the effects of these two coins are very effective against all crptoccurency markets.

I never thought that Libra could press Bitcoin. Bitcoin as the King of Crypto will not be affected by anything including by Libra. Bitcoin will still be the main one. Investors have been very trusting in Bitcoin.

The Libra project is currently experiencing very big problems and may not appear at all. We also do not yet know the predicted value of this coin, since it will be supported by more than twenty different currencies and other financial assets, or its other functionality. Therefore, it is still very early to talk about how this coin will be able to influence bitcoin. Its influence will be both positive and negative at the same time.

Bitcoin is indeed very strong in financial and privacy if compared to Libra.
But we also know that Libra is very following the flow that is driven by Mark Zuckerberg, who is named Facebook.

Maybe Bitcoin also gets a powerful injection of marketing power from the coming of Libra and this will affect the capitalists of Bitcoin.

as strong as any libra coins in cryptocurrency trading will not be able to affect the existence of bitcoin. In my opinion, bitcoin is too strong to be intercepted by any coin. So don't expect to replace bitcoin including libra.

I want to believe that Libra will end up helping to popularize cryptocurrency and in the end, it'll help BTC. Sadly, that's the most optimistic scenario I can come up with.
Title: Re: BTC and influence of Libra.

bitcoin coins in my opinion do not need any influence and from anywhere. including from libra. libra as a newcomer will not have any impact on bitcoin. believe bitcoin will be able to overcome any obstacles that cause its value to fall.

Post by: Whate on August 21, 2019, 02:05:03 PM
I don't see bitcoin under the influence of libra. And I don't see that bitcoin has anything to do with libra. Libra stands alone without affecting bitcoin. So I don't think there is any connection between bitcoin and libra.

Post by: Nerglio on September 01, 2019, 07:06:53 PM
In addition to Bitcoin, people use payment equipment and altcoins, but this did not affect Bitcoin in any way, it is still on top, so I think that Libra will simply become one of the same coins.

Post by: TEE coin on September 04, 2019, 07:15:59 AM
When Libra was announced officially, it did influence a little to Bitcoin.

However I believe Bitcoin will still be the 'main' and 'center' of it.
Probably like what others said, Libra will tied to Bitcoin anyway.

As a matter of fact, Bitcoin has not come under any pressure from Facebook Libra project: bitcoin has soared in the past without any big project like libra  announcement, and i think that bitcoin has come to the point where it can not be influenced by any popular project new start-up.
If you are following up activities on the Facebook Libra planned launch, you may notice that even the US President's tweets couldn't crash the price of bitcoin plus other negative news making around about libra. Infact, bitcoin has gotten the capacity to fluctuate in prices based on the it demand and supply rules and certain speculations.

I do not think that the Libra coin will ever appear at all. After a recent report by the G7 working group and the Bank for International Settlements, in which Libra is called a threat to global financial stability and the monetary system, this will probably kill this project permanently.
If Libra had appeared, then it would have pulled back a portion of the funds and Bitcoin would have been less used as a means of payment.

I think Bitcoin and Libra are very different and cannot be associated with the use of Bitcoin if this project fails, Libra has a lot of pressure from several countries because they want to make a global currency and will compete with fiat currencies.
whitepaper Libra https://libra.org/en-US/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2019/06/LibraWhitePaper_en_US.pdf


Quote
Libra is designed to be a stable digital cryptocurrency that will be fully backed by a reserve of real assets — the
Libra Reserve — and supported by a competitive network of exchanges buying and selling Libra. That means
anyone with Libra has a high degree of assurance they can convert their digital currency into local fiat
currency based on an exchange rate, just like exchanging one currency for another when traveling.

Bitcoin I think it has nothing to do with libra coins if the price goes down one day, Bitcoin will always be the choice of investors because Bitcoin has a limited inventory, let's look at 2020 before Bitcoin Halving whether prices will go up or down.

I am not really sure that Libra will be launched soon. US government makes a big intervention and Libra project may be stopped. It is bad news for people who expect to have Libra and hold it. This bad news may bring bad influence on BTC price currently, but today it seems to have no big influence.

Yes,  I see many people  say that.  Bitcoin has come under pressure  ahead of the UD Govermental hearings on Facebook 's Libra cryptocurrency.  But I dont believe they can beat the bitcoin.  Bitcoin is the  pioneer of crypto.  It wil take several years

It is unlikely that the Libra stablecoin will already have any real impact on Bitcoin, even if it is issued. Recently, it has been considering the possibility of several options for providing this stablecoin with one type of fiat currencies of states. Therefore, Libra will no longer be distinguished by the provision of a whole basket of various state currencies and even securities, and will be the same ordinary stablecoin, of which there are already hundreds. In addition, Zuckerberg in the US Senate promised that this coin would have nothing to do with Facebook.
However, to see what it will be necessary to first wait for her appearance.

It is also doubtful whether the current Facebook Libra has been created. I did not see this coin on any cryptocurrency exchange. However, there is a separate section in our village for Libra. This is not about Bitcoin at all. But I think there is a possibility of libra being created in the future. However, I am not sure whether it will happen in the future. However, I have seen in various news that the owner of Facebook did not agree to that. Cryptocurrencies are not approved worldwide. However, libra will be popular in the bitcoin market.

If the Scales were released last year, as planned earlier, then even in this case, one cannot say that they would somehow significantly affect Bitcoin.  The Libra project has already missed its time and even if it had been implemented and Libra had been released, it no longer even had a significant impact on stablecoins, not just bitcoin.  However, there has been no serious news on the release of Libra for a long time.  In one of the threads in the Libra section, I saw information that the price of Libra will be $ 0.004 and this is a failure for her.  I agree with that.

First of all, we don't know what Biden stance towards Bitcoin will because he seems to also affect by the previous Twitter hacker attacked but with Libra crypto introduced, some of the government don't see Bitcoin as a threat like they see Libra coin which is the reason the US and EU government are against the creation of the Libra coin but the team involve seems not to back off either way.
Let keep our fingers crossed until we fully understand the new President's belief about the whole issue.

Under the influence of regulators, the Libra under the new name Diem was planned to be issued in January in Switzerland, backed only by the US dollar. However, it turned out that there has been a company in England for some time that uses a token with the same name Diem. This circumstance appears to have slowed down the release of this stablecoin again.

Why should the launch of another stablecoin have an impact on bitcoin and its price? Even if it was intended to be a special stablecoin associated with Facebook and its large audience, Bitcoin should not be significantly affected.
In addition, the expected stablecoin Libra, as it was expected with its backing by a basket of currencies, will no longer exist. Even if the Diem stablecoin, backed only by the dollar, appears instead, it will already be one of many regular stablecoins.
