Co-Founder of Red Feather Financial, Victoria Collier Talks About Facebook’s Entry Into Cryptocurrency
Victoria Collier writes about how Facebook, as the first mainstream entry into cryptocurrency, has the potential to change the way the world spends money and reminds readers that this is a digital asset that must be included in financial planning and asset protection plans.
DECATUR, GA, August 5, 2019: Victoria Collier, co-founder of Red Feather Financial, has posted a new article on the firm’s website entitled “Cryptocurrency Welcomes A New Yet Very Familiar Face,” in which Ms. Collier talks about Facebooks entry into the world of digital currency.
Collier states, “We’ve all been hearing about cryptocurrencies.” She continues, “They’ve been around for a full decade, since 2009 when Bitcoin came onto the scene. For most people, cryptocurrencies have not been easy to wrap one’s mind around. It has taken years for regular investors to start delving into this new currency. And delve they have considering the fact that the value of one Bitcoin today currently hovers between $8000 and $10,000.”
As Collier points out, “Bitcoin was the first, but since its arrival, hundreds of new computer-generated monies have been born. There’s Litecoin and Etherium, Monero and Dash among others.” “And recently,” writes Collier, “a brand-new cryptocurrency was introduced. It’s one that’s coming from an enormously popular name: Facebook. Facebook just launched Libra.”
According to Collier, “There’s something different about Libra though, starting with the virtually captive audience of Facebook’s more than 2.7 billion members worldwide. And this very important distinction: while other cryptocurrencies cannot be cashed out for real money, Libra can.” She explains, “In other words you trade your In Real Life (IRL) currency for Libra. Then you can spend Libra worldwide for almost no fees. And, if you change your mind and decide it’s not for you, you can cash out for ‘real’ money any time.”
“Also, according to the reports,” says Collier, “Libra’s value will be tied to actual currency and backed by a reserve fund. This means Libra will offer users and investors more stability.”
Collier encourages a bit of caution as she says, “It appears that there will be many things to like about Libra that will appeal to regular folks who are not investors but are looking for easier ways to send and spend money. In fact, some say it might be very easy to spend money. There’s talk that Libra is expected to operate like a bank/mobile payment hybrid.” She adds, “With over 3 million businesses that are also on Facebook it sounds like it could be very easy to spend lots of money! It may be as easy to spend money as it is to send a text message.”
