In a recent podcast interview, former Facebook executive David Marcus revealed that CEO Mark Zuckerberg is a fan of Bitcoin. Marcus stated that Zuckerberg appreciates Bitcoin and they had many conversations about the topic while working on the Libra project. However, Marcus quickly shifted the focus back to Libra and discussed the challenges they faced in decentralizing the project. This revelation is not entirely surprising, as Zuckerberg had previously named his pet goats “Bitcoin” and “Max,” sparking speculation about his interest in the cryptocurrency. Marcus also discussed his current venture, Lightspark, which aims to improve the Lightning Network. He believes that Bitcoin is the only form of neutral internet money and is committed to refining the Lightning Network’s usability and addressing operational challenges. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $26,831, experiencing a 4.5% decline over the past four days.
