Can anyone explain a rational political motivation behind this? I realize "less immigrants" is the hand-wavy explanation, but how does this benefit those in charge?

I had this thing and loved it but it WAS SO G$DD$MN LOUD!!!!!

It was like the sound of a pile of silverware dumped into a garbage disposal played at full volume over an AM radio.

Great controls, though.

IDK why, but this reminds me of earlier days of internet, when it was full of random, non-usable but funny content like this. Best things often don't make that much sense.

It's backed on air. Not even hot air.

So I should not believe attestations by third parties because they are all lies then? https://tether.to/en/transparency/?tab=reports

I guess that would be not much different than Moody's lying about debt ratings prior to 2008.

noone knows, but the real question is why any govt hasnt done any significative investigation or attack on tether? the only explanation i see (from the US pov) is that they actually collaborating in deeper investigations so they let it coexist, otherwise it makes no sense how legitimated it is knowing that it's pure fake money and it's not backed up at all

bitcoin wont be real till tether dissapears

how you guys interpretate all this price swings with barely no trade volumen increase?

i think the whole crypto narrative it's slowly dying, okay its ATH now, but yeah, we still got this huge elephant in the room called tether and well u know

I don't know. What's going to happen with Tether?

Soon this will all collapse, reaching all time highs isn't a good thing.

Pyramid scheme at best, ponzi scheme at worst.

I still don't know any use case for this other than speculation and people aren't even using it in the real world.

You know, the entire point of this website is to comment on articles with our own thoughts, experiences, and opinions - even if it's moralizing and/or grandstanding.

Can we stop discouraging comments in the comment section? It gets so tiresome.
