David Marcus

David Marcus is known as the co-creator of Diem, a cryptocurrency project initiated by Facebook. He is the former president of PayPal and Vice President of Messaging Products at Facebook, where he ran the Facebook Messenger unit. In 2018, Marcus was appointed to the Board of Directors at Coinbase. Later, he became the co-founder of Lightspark in May 2022.  Before his expert introduction to the crypto business, Marcus Long had stood among the Silicon Valley first class as an early defender of Bitcoin. While heading tasks for Facebook Messenger, Zuckerberg tapped Marcus to lead Facebook's innovative work in blockchain and digital forms of money, bringing about the profoundly dubious Libra project. He is one of the top speakers who frequently attends Bitcoin and crypto events to be part of the evolution of cryptocurrency.
