    • That’s their internal name. I think Libra is their trademarked name.

    I’m sure no one cares as long as it’s liquid, for example stocks are pretty much fully liquid as far as an individual employee is concerned

      It's pretty risky to do anything but sell your company's stock as soon as you receive it, unless you have significant insider information to know that it will perform well in the future.

      Just sell it immediately? This is no different from regular stocks Lul. When I say liquid I mean it’s able to be sold immediately. You’re never obligated to keep the stock/crypto after it vests.
