Love this quote:

>As Sarah Jamie Lewis, the director of the Canadian nonprofit Open Privacy, put it: “Can’t wait for a cryptocurrency with the ethics of Uber, the censorship resistance of Paypal, and the centralization of Visa, all tied together under the proven privacy of Facebook.”

Surely she meant decentralisation, though? Visa is anything but decentralised.

They're two different ends of the same scale, like "It's has hard as a rock" vs "It's as soft as a rock".

Either way, though, they're making fun of Libra. Visa is not decentralized and Uber is not ethical.

Libra at launch is going to be extremely centralized, with decentralization being merely a possibility for future "growth".

Most likely, or it's a transcription error.
