Facebook’s Cryptocurrency Project: Who’s In and Who’s Out
(Bloomberg) -- Facebook Inc. made a renewed push into payments on Tuesday, announcing plans for a cryptocurrency called Libra.Read More: Facebook Wants Its Cryptocurrency to One Day Rival the GreenbackIt will be governed by the Libra Association, a group of companies that will have an equal say in how the cryptocurrency is managed. Almost 30 firms have joined and Facebook hopes another 70 or more will enter the fold in the future.Read Facebook’s Project Libra white paper hereWho’s In:Visa Inc. and Mastercard Inc., the world’s largest payments networks, as well as PayPal Holdings Inc. are on board. For Visa and Mastercard, it’s a chance to offer the world of cryptocurrencies the same services they provide in card payments. All three companies know the challenges of building a network and can offer expertise in encouraging consumers to use the instrument and cajoling merchants into accepting it.Companies such as Uber Technologies Inc., Lyft Inc., and Spotify Technology SA keep millions of credit cards on file, and they risk losing customers when people get a new card or number. E-commerce firms also pay higher “card not present” rates when processing payments, so anything that can reduce these expenses is welcome.“Libra has the potential to bridge the gap between traditional financial networks and new digital currency technology, while reducing the costs for everyone,” said Peter Hazlehurst, head of payments at Uber.International companies, including e-commerce firm MercadoLibre Inc. and telecom giant Vodafone Group Plc, signed onto Libra, too. Blockchain technology and stablecoins are potential solutions for the messy world of cross-border payments, which suffers from delays and high costs.Who’s Out:Large banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc., already have their own payments businesses that reap billions of dollars in fees. With regulators still deciding how to treat cryptocurrencies, banks and investment firms are treading cautiously.So far, no large brick-and-mortar retailers, such as Target Corp. and Walmart Inc., are taking part. The industry is always interested in lowering the cost of accepting payments, but traditional merchants have historically been hesitant to accept cryptocurrencies due to volatility and lack of consumer adoption.The largest U.S. technology companies, Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc., Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Amazon.com Inc., are noticeably absent. Many of these firms have their own digital payments businesses and some are experimenting with blockchain technology. Apple has poured scorn on Facebook for repeated privacy missteps and other big tech firms are trying to avoid being associated with the social-media giant.“This is very early -- 27 organizations right now, 100 by the time we launch,” David Marcus, head of the Facebook blockchain team that’s spearheading the project, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. “And by that time, I definitely expect to see banks in there, I definitely expect to see other large technology companies and I definitely expect to see more diversity of organizations in terms of geographical distribution.”Square Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey is a cryptocurrency fan, but even his firm isn’t part of Libra at launch. Square’s cryptocurrency team made its first hire last week and it’s Cash App is a popular way for consumers to buy and sell Bitcoin.Here’s the full list of founding members and partners:Andreessen Horowitz Anchorage Bison Trails Booking Holdings Inc.Breakthrough Initiatives Facebook’s CalibraCoinbase Inc.EBay Inc.

Management Turnover Adds Even More Uncertainty for Uber Stock
Uber (NYSE:UBER) shares dropped another 3.3% over the past week, after the company announced some surprising management changes. On June 7, Uber announced COO Barney Harford and CMO Rebecca Messina are leaving the company.Source: Shutterstock For a company with a huge amount of near-term uncertainty, this latest Uber news was frustrating for investors on many fronts. The timing of the announcement is suspicious at best and yet another reason investors should think twice about buying Uber stock. Suspicious TimingIt's probably very difficult for Uber stock investors not to be cynical about the timing of these management departures. The Uber IPO happened just one month ago. The company and the executives involved would likely never admit it, but there's no way these departures came completely out of the blue within the past month.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 7 Top-Rated Biotech Stocks to Invest In Today Uber and/or the executives leaving knew what they were doing. Announcing a management shuffle right before an IPO creates uncertainty in the market. It might weigh on IPO demand and valuation. Announcing the departures right after the Uber IPO creates too much suspicion that the company was withholding the announcement. Announcing the departures one month after the IPO creates enough plausible deniability that the company/executives won't get too much heat.I don't know if Uber or the executives leaving are to blame. Either way, this announcement was carefully timed. There's nothing deceptive or fraudulent about the timing of executive departures; however, this was a Public Relations 101 move to make the announcement after the dust settled on the Uber IPO.You don't have to take my word for it."While the timing of these executives departures so soon after the IPO will raise some eyebrows for investors and add more pressure on [Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and company] in the near-term we believe this move is better to happen sooner rather than later," Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives says."This news comes as a shock to the Street and clearly one of the last things investors wanted to see with the stock currently coming under pressure." Uber Stock IPO a FlopEver since the overhyped Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) IPO in March, I have been pounding the table for investors to stay away from these big-tech IPOs.Former Kase Capital hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson recently summed up his thoughts on these IPOs very bluntly. Tilson said he has never participated in a tech IPO and doesn't plan to any time soon. In fact, Tilson went as far as to say the U.S. market is currently in an IPO bubble."Mathematically speaking, they've done studies and it's the single worst place to invest," Tilson said. "There is no surer way to lose money in any strategy than buying hot IPOs."Tilson's comments echo the sentiment of one of his biggest influences, value investing guru Warren Buffett.The general idea with these tech IPOs is that they tend to happen when company insiders believe the market value is highest. Value investors know when a stock is at its highest point, it's time to sell, not buy. IPO investors are buying many of these stocks at the absolute worst time. Not only is the valuation at a relative high point, IPO underwriters and the financial media hype these stocks so hard that the market gets whipped into a frenzy.As a result, more than a month later, Uber stock IPO investors are underwater on their investment. Where to Go From HereThe timing of the executive departures is yet another example of how IPO investors often get played as suckers. The question for investors at this point is what to do now.Management turnover is just one of many unanswered questions for Uber stock investors. Uber seems to be reshaping its corporate structure. The company's losses have mounted as its business has grown. Growth is slowing.According to Reuters, eight out of the 10 largest tech IPOs of all time generated a negative overall return of between -25% and -71% in their first year of trading following their IPOs.As I have said before, long-term Uber stock bulls that believe in the company have a valid thesis. Uber may very well end up being the Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) or Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) of transportation. However, both Amazon and Netflix have experienced decades of strong stock market returns, nit just one year. * 10 High-Yield Monthly Dividend Stocks to Buy Uber stock investors should consider letting the dust settle for a year before they buy the stock. In a worst-case scenario, Uber gets its act together and investors have to pay a higher price a year from now. They would also be potentially be making a much safer investment than they would be today.As of this writing, Wayne Duggan did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
