100%, but privileged keyboard warriors in their ivory tower don't get that & angrily tweet "bad tether" while sipping their soy latte. At the same time, a person in the Global South is busy trying to convert their funds to dollars from their failing local currency - USDT is the solution for them
@mttjon You moron, did you ask a Nigerian if they care about 2% interest when their local currency, the Naira, devalues 90% against the dollar? Interest does not matters to billions of people - any form of dollar is better than staying in the local currency. Clickbait ivory tower BS
The number of people being doxxed at the Bitcoin Amsterdam YouTube live stream is unreal - the camera goes every 2 minutes or so and shows people’s faces in the crowd like it’s a baseball stadium Jumbotron. Just why would you need to do that
@BitcoinMagazine ? I blurred them here for privacy
@BTC_broo@BitcoinMagazine I am not advocating that everyone should mask up - but it should be common sense that the organizer does not constantly expose the crow like they did in a live stream
On 31 October 2008, Satoshi published nine pages that explained Bitcoin to the world.
Today we’re explaining it to everyone else.
Two pizzas, 10,000 BTC, 21 million coins, and one key you never share. Everything you need to know, in a comic.
Happy 18th birthday, Bitcoin whitepaper.
No offense at all and agree with you, all for permissionless money aka Bitcoin - but if you can prevent people from losing money and freeze you should. End of the day it’s a dollar on a blockchain and not Bitcoin. Super net positive - tether would have not done that, markets would have taken an even bigger nose dive
@luchopoletti@paoloardoino tether is a centralized dollar stable coin issuer with the ability to freeze funds - I don’t think they make any secret around that. I am glad they did, I have some little balance in Binance still and glad they acted so fast. After all it’s theft
As a precautionary measure in response to the Binance incident, we have temporarily paused USDT transfers between Ethereum and TRON.
We will provide an update as soon as transfers have been resumed.
