The day before, a full-fledged launch of the Metal crypto-payment application took place, the creators of which believe that the development can seriously compete with the Libra project.
On his Twitter blog, Eric Finman, one of the youngest Bitcoin millionaires, along with Marshall Heiner, a former co-founder of QuickCoin, announced the full launch of the Metal app. According to Finman, the application has implemented such functionality that Libra can only dream of. The millionaire claimed that Metal is the killer of Libra.
Today @MarshallHayner & I are launching Metal Pay to the masses.
We're going to finally bring crypto to the People – in ways that Facebook Libra only wishes they could.
This. Is. The. Libra Killer. https://t.co/yNSSNsWEsr

Metal functions as a P2P payment application that currently supports various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Earlier, the application only supported its native token – Metal (MTL), which at the time of writing of this article is trading at a price of $ 0.37. It is noteworthy that over the past day the token exchange rate has grown by more than 20%, MTL now occupies the 106th position in the cryptocurrency rating in terms of market capitalization.
Note that a month ago, Metal began to cooperate with the decentralized social network Steemit, which rewards its users with cryptocurrency for activity on its resource. As a result, the native Steemit token received support from the Metal application.
