In this talk, Andreas answers the burning question... has he tried haggis? Just kidding. What should we make of Facebook's Libra whitepaper? Will it survive to become a production network? Why is Silicon Valley coming for banking? Does it change anything about the regulatory environment faced by open public blockchains?

This talk was delivered on June 19th 2019 for the Scottish Blockchain Meetup at Craiglockhart Campus in Edinburgh, Scotland: https://aantonop.com/event/community-event-edinburgh/
