The paper was published 18 July 2018. The public inital commit of libra was on

No sympathy for this guy at all. Think just because you’re an “MIT fellow”
your claims to an idea carry more weight than people from other institutions
or organizations? Get out of here with this entitlement, tons of people come
up with exactly the same ideas all the time.

Plus, 9 times out of 10, it's the MIT types who lift ideas from others and
promote them with MIT's increasingly well-polished hype machine. Within MIT,
Media Lab is central to this problem.

Facebook's faithful copying is the large tech corp _standard operating
procedure_. Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple will start product lines based
on accurate rumors about what the others are doing, and then cancel them as
soon as their competitors do. This form of "copy thy neighbor" just happened
with something like three major R&D products/features, one of which was
cancelled and another leaked in the tech press.
