"Libra appears to be nothing more than a variation of the traditional financial system. This should not have much impact on the bitcoin price, as the world’s first and most popular cryptocurrency’s key value proposition is as an apolitical store of value and medium of exchange. In other words, the Libra has no effect on the “digital gold” market."
