Facebook Money – level 1

26-06-2019 15:00

Facebook talks about its plans. It is working on a digital currency. The currency is called Libra. The project has help from big partners like Mastercard, PayPal and Uber.

People can use Libra in 2020. They can send Libra in Messenger and WhatsApp. There will be a new app, too. It is called Calibra. It will be a digital Libra wallet. Other apps can use Libra, too.

Libra is similar to bitcoin. Facebook is doing this so people can send money around the world for free. However, some people do not trust Facebook. For example, some people worry that Facebook can look at how much Libra they have.

Difficult words: currency (money), will (in the future), trust (if you trust somebody, you know that he or she is good).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
