Yuri Lobyntsev, Co-founder and CTO of Cindicator, said:

“We see that trust is the biggest issue for Libra. I think Mark Zuckerberg will get flak from everybody, including regulators and investors. He'd have to go through fire and water to keep control over his position at Facebook. If he withstands this heat and secures Libra on idealistic principles, this will be a revolution and the largest monopoly on the planet.”
