TLDR Facebook's Libra is not a gateway to Bitcoin, says Andrew Keen. Keen: Libra will be a glorified PayPal that will steal your anonymity and sell your data like hotcakes. Keen says it's not just a “let’s-be-the-first-to-do-this” mentality. This is part of a much, much broader move by Facebook, Keen says. Keen believes the move is Facebook's price to pay, not an unforeseen consequence.via the TL;DR App
