How Does Facebook Libra Explained For Beginners (Facebook's Cryptocurrency Project) Work?

Facebook Libra is like a new kind of money that people can use on Facebook and other apps, it's super easy to send or receive.

Imagine you have a piggy bank full of coins, and your friend has one too. Now imagine instead of using real coins, you both use paper slips that are worth the same as those coins. That’s kind of how Libra works, it's like digital coins that can be used online.

  • When you want to send money to someone, it's like giving them a slip from your piggy bank.
  • You don’t need to carry real cash or wait for the bank to process the payment, everything happens instantly on your phone.
  • Just like how you trade coins with friends at school, Libra lets people trade money quickly and easily through apps.
