The announcement of Project Libra by Facebook was arguably the biggest news story this year in blockchain and cryptocurrencies; easily among one of the biggest ever in the history of these nascent industries.

Facebook’s plans to launch their very own digital cryptocurrency that would be useable for their 2.41 billion active monthly users, was a tremendous advocate for the progression of digital currency platform payment systems, and considerably improved the adoption of cryptocurrencies for the general public and mainstream media.

Following confirmation that Facebook planned on entering the cryptocurrency markets, the news was a catalyst for a massive surge in price for the markets, although recent regulatory issues have dampened the mood somewhat.
