With immense unexplored potential in the world of digital assets, more and more companies are investing their resources, time, and energy on building the solutions for the future world and hence, competition keeps getting tougher. With the introduction of Libra by Facebook, some of the crypto enthusiasts believe that currencies like ETH & XRP have to jig themselves to stay in the long game and the current market performance of both tokens also conveys the same.
I am a big fan of $LIBRA. It's well written and the documentation is great. It has a potential to replace Ripple, Stellar, Ethereum, all Stablecoins, etc. For every other usecase when truly decentralized and uncensorable network is required, there will still be #Bitcoin!
