Libra: Building and Understanding Facebook's Cryptocurrency


Description
Governments and citizens alike want to know how Facebook—or any corporate entity entrusted with user data and privacy—can be trusted with the responsibility and power of developing and maintaining a cryptocurrency. Since the announcement of the Libra project in June 2019, there's been a tremendous amount of discussion. Join us for analysis of the developments, and a deep dive into just what Libra is, how it fits in to the broader blockchain ecosystem, and what it could mean for the global economy.

 

**NOTE: This material is rapidly evolving, particularly around Libra Association membership. We have reflected that as best we can throughout the course.**
