some currencies have different consensus protocol, e.g. stellar. others are actively fighting it, e.g. monero. and even in the case of a takeover, forks are possible , ensuring decentralization

it's not just decentralization, it's competing decentralized currencies in a free market.

Well, this sort of meta-decentralization applies to all currencies including Libra.

I think you can either say that no currencies are decentralized or that all currencies are. In practice any currency gives up some axes of decentralization.

Yes, i m positive on Libra as long as it is possible to exchange it for any other crypto. I 'm afraid it's not going to be the case.
