We all know that money transfer is not an easy task. Further, sending texts and pictures can be done in seconds. But, money transactions are always painful and consumes lot of time. Also, the charges banks impose is unbearable for normal people. If we focus on the statistics, 31% of the world’s population falls under unbanked population. And, even after so many advancements in technology, 85% of the transactions still happen in the form of cash. One of the major problems with cash is, it is hard to store and easy to steal. To sort out all these problems, Facebook has taken an initiative and designed new age currency called Libra. Libra is a cryptocurrency built on Blockchain technology. It makes transferring money painless, quicker and at a cheaper cost. Libra also offers user anonymity, you can make transactions by being anonymous.
As said earlier, Libra is developed on blockchain technology. The main motive of Libra is to emancipate millions of people by providing them an opportunity to be a part of digital currency. To use Libra, all you need is a mobile with a data connection.
