I'm guessing "Libra" in this case is probably a variation of Libre -- free -- rather than an astrological reference. But that's totally a guess and could be completely wrong.
If anyone actually knows why they named it Libra, I would love to hear the explanation. A quick search isn't turning up answers.
The joke (maybe, maybe not) in drawing the presumably intentional astrological connection has to do with the fact that the Winks and Zuckerberg have some ... shared history.
Well, I have no idea what you are talking about. Care to elaborate?
I just find how things get named interesting. I did realize it was a joke, but that doesn't preclude actually discussing why these things got the names they have.
IIRC the Winklevoss twins have a Bitcoin exchange called Gemini
Surely a coincidence
