Comment on The Fed is getting into the Real-Time payments businessparent

Comments

Wrong.

Libra can still provide hassle-free currency access from within supporting apps and Web sites. Also it can provide "free" transactions whereas FedNow won't be free.

For 99% of legal money senders this removes the need to consider Bitcoin or most shitcoins.

The only use case left for crypto, which Bitcoin itself has somewhat neglected, is anonymous uncensored payments. And that's the one that doesn't work because it's extremely hard to get in and out without being noticed.
