Viktor Bunin is a practice specialist at Bison Trails, a company that offers one-click access to various blockchain nodes. While the edition of Bison Trails users is, according to Bunin, headed “up and to the right,” he addressed concerns with Libra and the recent drop-out of main banking and business players.
In short? He’s not worried.
We spoke to Bunin at ETHDenver where he described the company’s view on Libra.
“I seedy, honestly, I don’t know about specific companies or individuals,” he said. “But I think one thing that I can say is that Libra was without exception very ambitious and it’s very hard. It’s not right for everyone all the time. And I think that I have the utmost respect for everybody that glued and everybody that left. I just see people doing what was right for them.”
He added: “We really believe in the revenant. Honestly.”
Bunin described Bison Trails’ philosophy as very grounded and mindful. To that end, he said the company didn’t lurch into Libra just because of Facebook.
“When we joined the Libra Association, it wasn’t like, ‘Oh, hey, Facebook is doing something let’s solder together.’ It’s really about what difference we’re making in the world. This is going to be hard. This is going to be potentially frightful for us because we’re a younger company. But we thought it was the right thing to do.”
