We Sent a Man to the Moon. We Can Send the Dollar to Cyberspace
Ex-CFTC Chair Giancarlo: “No perfect solution exists to address the challenges and promises of digital currency, nor can anyone predict all the technological advances these efforts will generate. The same was true when President Eisenhower proposed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and when President Kennedy vowed to put a man on the moon. America must once again establish a team of the world’s brightest minds, this time to update a global economic order that ensures our freedom and prosperity.”

How Anti-Money-Laundering Rules Hinder Libra's Mission to Reach the Unbanked
How Anti-Money-Laundering Rules Hinder Libra's Mission to Reach the Unbanked
The Libra Association is thinking of radical approaches to reach the unbanked in certain locations, including a “step-ladder” approach to KYC regulations. The FATF said it is open to working with Libra about potentially building new forms of digital identity. Libra believes blockchain forensics firms like Chainalysis, Elliptic and Coinfirm will help strengthen the case for “tiered KYC” by monitoring wallet profiles and transaction histories. Non-profits in the Libra Association like the Kiva Foundation may play a key role.

Crypto Rebels Trip Over Each Other en Route to Financial Utopia

After the bubble, then crash, of 2017 and 2018, it’s natural to ask, ‘What do we use this stuff for?’ DeFi is the first legitimate answer to the question.
