The Libra Win-Win and the Markets' Third Wave Harry Dent | June 21, 2019 | If you don't know by now that Facebook released its libra whitepaper on Tuesday, you're living under a rock. What you may not know is that bitcoin shot up on the news. That's because libra gives credibility to the cryptocurrency market, much like AOL did when it first brought email and the internet to the masses.
