||1:Enter the Libra consortium.||2:The association, to be based in Geneva, will take over from Facebook before the first Libra has been spent, and manage the hard-currency reserves.||3:Facebook has enlisted 28 other prospective founding members out of an envisaged 100, each with equal voting rights and operating a node in a decentralised system which issues coins.||4:They include financial firms (Visa, Stripe), online services (Spotify, Uber), cryptocurrency wallets (Anchorage, Coinbase), venture capitalists (Andreessen Horowitz, Union Square Ventures) and charities (Kiva , Mercy Corps)—though, for the time being, no banks.||5:Not a libertarian alternative to the existing financial system, in other words, but a complement.

||1:进入天秤币联盟。||2:该协会总部位于日内瓦，将在第一批天秤币用完之前接管Facebook，并管理硬通货储备。||3:Facebook从预计的100名创始成员中招募了28名其他潜在创始成员，每个人都拥有平等的投票权，并在一个发行硬币的分散化系统中运营一个节点。||4:这些公司包括金融公司(Visa、Stripe)、在线服务公司(Spotify、Uber)、加密货币钱包(Anchorage、Coinbase)、风险投资家(安德森?霍洛维茨基金、Union Square Ventures)和慈善机构(Kiva、美慈)，不过目前还没有银行。||5:换句话说，这不是对现有金融体系的自由主义替代，而是一种补充。

With the non-profits it backs, ranging from Kiva , a microfinance website, to the Sunlight Foundation, which promotes open government, Omidyar Network practises venture philanthropy—developing a non-profit start-up in the same way as a new business venture, except for not expecting it to make money one day.

betterplace. org along with other internet platforms such as Facebook and Kiva are using the internet to improve the plight of the poor.

org和其它网络平台，如Facebook和Kiva，正在利用联网改善人们的贫穷境况。

Admittedly though, lending through Kiva doesn’t revolve around economic efficiency.
