Libra: Facebook's digital coin

How payments and money transfers could be a big part of the social giant's future. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones.

How payments and money transfers could be a big part of the social giant's future. We ask whether Libra is really a cryptocurrency, plus we hear what an enthusiast of Bitcoin thinks of Facebook's plan. And we ask one of the leading money transfer firms whether Libra is a threat to its industry. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Online tech correspondent Mark Ward, and special guest Izabella Kaminska from Financial Times Alphaville.
