On: Facebook reveals its cryptocurrency Libra

[spaceflunky]

I don't know much about how to mine or obtain crypto currencies.

Can someone explain to me how I would get Libra?

You buy it from a trusted member node

So there is no way to mine it? You just buy it at a set price?

Does that mean that it is not really designed to be "invested in" the way people invest in bitcoin and others?

Correct. It's backed by a basket of fiat currencies (USD, GBP, JPY, EUR).
