Former head of Facebook's blockchain project, David Marcus, revealed how political opposition led to the collapse of the ambitious Libra initiative. 🚀

Marcus called the project's failure "100% political assassination," pointing to the actions of officials who effectively halted it. Libra, later renamed Diem, faced global resistance, including criticism from finance ministers and lawmakers.

Marcus emphasized that a neutral, decentralized network like Bitcoin is necessary for creating a global financial system. Many former members of the Libra team are now working on other projects, such as Aptos and Sui.
