I believe the OP was attempting humour.
Yes. Pitfall of not reading the entire comment before responding.

Many prefer to be tipped in cash.
Why is this news?
Yep! The only thing anyone knows for "sure" is that cash is an absolutely terrible place to keep your money right now. Any kind of asset is better.
If you have cash, it may be a good idea to buy in this small downturn. Though I expect there will be more buying opportunities in the coming year.

It's crazy how an US company dominates the world's messaging market but not in the US
It’s not uncommon. Orkut back in the day was wildly popular in Latin America and India. WhatsApp is the same. I think users in NA have a lot of high quality options as against those in Asia and LatAm who don’t have much reliable options other than ones developed in NA.
oarla commented on How did Tether profit $13B in 2024 from USDT? antongolub.substack.com/p... · Posted by u/wslh
$13b on $113b =12%. With treasuries that is only possible with massive leverage, negative convexity, or other reindeer games. I doubt the prospectus will tell much. Good luck to everyone involved but I personally am envisioning a ten foot pole and all that.
13B it’s not entirely from treasuries. The breakdown is
7B from treasuries —> probably from the methods you described
5B from Gold —> believable if you notice how gold has done in 2024
1B from other sources. No idea what they are.
The article mentions that tether may not have been audited by a third party. So I’m not sure how believable these numbers are.

Handshake agreements will most likely fall apart in time due to changing needs and personalities. This is why contracts are absolutely needed, especially for the size of business Sriracha was involved in.
Except for the court ruling of 13 million in favor of Underwood Ranch, the article isn’t very clear in the amount by which the 2 companies disagreed so difficult to say if it was purely a clash of the 2 owner’s personalities or some other fundamental change in market that brought this sudden schism.
