- Calibra calls for democratizing banking, especially in the third world.
- With over two billion users, it may be the Holy Grail for massive adoption of cryptocurrencies.
- The market has yet to value the growth potential implied by Facebook’s initiative.
Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram will all be opened to Calibra – a massive development.
Calibra will initially offer a global payment and money transfer platform with low commissions and instant execution. However, this is only the beginning.
Calibra will probably start offering a series of financial products such as loans, interest-bearing deposits, and more in the future.
Also, as the Geneva-based Libra Foundation states in the white paper of the project, Calibra could be connected to exchange platforms, such as Coinbase or Binance, but without going into that business.
In my opinion, Calibra provides the disruptive factor that Libra, as a concept, lacks. The hidden potential offered by creating a gateway between the Crypto market and the digitalized everyday world is immense.
Facebook has the capital, influence, and dominance in the social networking sector necessary to bring this initiative to a successful conclusion – even in the face of the more than secure opposition of the global banking cartel.
The cryptocurrencies market has yet to adjust the price to the vast possibilities of Zuckerberg’s initiative – but it is only a matter of time.

The DMI on the daily chart shows the bulls controlling the market and moving above the ADX with comfort. The bears retreat and seem to invite the bulls to continue leading the situation.
