Re: [Din] Side meeting on financial technology

Agree, lets give crypto a good network to run over. Let’s make transactions fast, lets make the network efficient and accessiable through NATs on devices and cloud apps. And of course standardize a blockchain protocol so exchanges don’t have to be on n different blockchains just to service wallets.

This reminds me of the IP versus AppleTalk versus IPX versus Apollo Domain versus Chaosnet versus OSI versus . . . 

Having said that, can we can somone from the Libra Association to talk about Libra?
