Earlier today the world gained insight into Facebook\u2019s highly anticipated cryptocurrency project, dubbed Libra, which is widely expected to help boost the company\u2019s e-commerce initiatives and to attract a significant amount of attention to Bitcoin and the crypto markets.<\/p>\n
Now, multiple cryptocurrency analysts are viewing Libra as a bullish development<\/a> for Bitcoin and the aggregated crypto markets, as it could lead to an influx of new users that fuel the next big rally.<\/p>\n The crypto community was quite surprised to learn the breadth and magnitude of the partnerships that Facebook has secured for Libra, with some of the major names on the list including Visa, Mastercard, Uber, PayPal, eBay, Spotify, and many others.<\/p>\n Although details regarding how user\u2019s will acquire Libra remain foggy, Facebook did suggest<\/a> that it will first be distributed on WhatsApp and Messenger \u2013 two of the company\u2019s communication applications \u2013 sometime next year.<\/p>\n Libra will operate similarly to Bitcoin<\/a> and most other cryptocurrencies, as users will download a wallet, called Calibra that will allow users to store and transact with their Libra. Ultimately, Libra will enable users to make purchases on several of Facebook\u2019s e-commerce channels and will be able to be used on many other non-Facebook platforms as well.<\/p>\n The sheer amount of use-cases for Libra that already exist ahead of its launch has led many analysts to believe that it will ultimately be a bullish thing for Bitcoin, as it will introduce billions of users to the world of crypto.<\/p>\n \u201cLibra will introduce more users to Bitcoin than any other coin before. 2.6 billion that are one step closer to learning about, buying, and understanding $BTC. Thanks Zuck!\u201d Luke Martin, a popular analyst on Twitter, explained in a recent tweet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Libra will introduce more users to Bitcoin than any other coin before. <\/p>\n 2.6 bullion that are one step closer to learning about, buying, and understanding $BTC<\/a>. <\/p>\n Thanks Zuck! https:\/\/t.co\/TcuX7TgodY<\/a><\/p>\n — Luke Martin (@VentureCoinist) June 17, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nLibra Could Introduce Billions of People to Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
