Damage control on the part of Libra?

So he really knows that their back is against the wall here with so many regulators against it.

Anyways, let move on, is Libra goes live next year then so be it. But I'm sure the consensus has spoken that we don't like it.

David Marcus is actually considered as one of the first top Silicon Valley executives to adopt and support bitcoin. In 2013, at the LeWeb conference in Paris, Marcus stated the fact that he is a big fan of bitcoin and owns a stash of it. He called bitcoin a store of value and a distributed ledger. Getting this type of support back in 2013 was pretty exciting and we can tell that David has a sense when it comes to blockchain and cryptocurrencies in particular.”

“Digital Gold,” a book authored by journalist Nathaniel Popper, mentions Marcus alongside the founders of the Gemini digital currency exchange (i.e., Cameron and Tyler Winkelvoss), co-chairman of Fortress Investment Group Peter Briger, and entrepreneur Wences Casares as high-profile technology executives invested in Bitcoin since at least 2013.

Libra would be released sooner or later. In my opinion they are too big to fail and they would find somebody that would answer all the questions about regulations and is able to deal with SEC. It is only the matter of time.

I wouldn't say its damage control, damage has been done and it is beyond repair, most of it's big partners opt to drop out from doing business with them meaning some internal rift has been happening before their released.

exactly what I thought so SEC just need a lot of money and probably the government want to work side by side with them. a lot won't like it but its their business anymore.

I don't think that this could be considered as 'Damage Control.' It's more of saying that the CEO is a big fan of bitcoin. It does not speak on the whole Libra thing. Although what happened with Libra was so damaging. Imagine, you have a project that is backed by many and big backers and then those backers of yours backed from you. With regards with the fan of bitcoin thing, this will not affect Libra project at all. It's just a statement from their CEO.
