“We could do it differently. We could have a series of stablecoins, a dollar stablecoin, a euro stablecoin, a sterling pound stable coin, etc. We could definitely base the Libra project even on national stablecoins. That is one of the options that should be considered.”

What is a lot more interesting, however, is that David Marcus played a completely new card, China. It is no secret that China is working on its own national cryptocurrency. And this is what the main representative of the Libra Association tried to utilize, saying:

“The future in five years, if we don’t have a good answer, is basically China using its digital yuan running on their controlled blockchain,”

What made David Marcus’s rhetoric change so dramatically? One of the possibilities is the fact that Libra is actually not doing well and it's trying to come up with at least some possibility to succeed in the world. That may be the reason why Marcus tried to play this note that was to scare all those competent in the U.S. After all, nobody in the U.S. would like the idea that e-yuan might jeopardize the sovereignty of the dollar as a reserve currency. To what extent these words will scare the regulators and competent authorities in the country is not known yet. What remains certain, however, is that if the situation with Libra continues to develop in the way it is, there may be more such statements coming.
