What do they mean to "block Libra"? To block merchants using it?

If yes, I think it won't matter at all. EU already have real-time electronic payments and mostly everyone uses contactless cards or appley/android pay.

I think the benefit of Libra, as peer-to-peer money is valuable for countries in Africa or other parts of the world where cash is king and unsafe (due to high crime rate).

How is this going to make a difference? Either I steal your wallet or I steal your... wallet.
