Majority of my savings is crypto and it’s been good.

No going back for me. Ride or die homies.

most people would rather simp for the state than take sovereign control of their finances.

Exactly. I do trading bots with 3Commas but Coinbase Pro has more USDT pairs than other stables. I wish this wasn't true.

as the state slowly encroaches more and more upon peoples sovereignty over their funds, people will gradually be eyeing the crypto lifeboat more and more as well.

In my opinion, of course.

yep, and that's great for the space. The day will come where your stable options are plentiful and no one stable dominates the market share. On that day this Tether FUD might finally die because if it did fail it would go out with a whimper instead of a bang.

the separation of economic activity and state is the next step fwd for humanity.

this is just basic human rights and freedom. seems like it would appeal to most types of people on this board

but they've brainwashed everyone into thinking that crypto is just a scam and money laundering and tether is insolvent etc

fascinating that people can still read Bloomberg articles and think they're being forthcoming and honest. they clearly have an agenda

For me, the dollar is already in decline. Sunk cost.

tether has been audited more times than any bank in existence at this point


Yet have zero documentation to prove it.

They just provide attestation, such which amounts to trust us.

Waiting for crypto's flux capacitor to generate enough intrinsic value to buy me a DeLorean.

Lol, yeah those pesky external auditing requirements by the FDIC. They just ignore those.

FDIC requirements

FDIC financial report requirements

Or those pesky Dodd-Frank stress tests

Federal Dodd Frank stress test

Large firms like PWC who claim to be independent auditors for banks like JPM Chase never actually do anything.

Sure sure

So we are down to comparing Crypto to banks fricking up the economy in 2009?

Crypto has become too large and is way too backed by major financial institutions for this to ever happen. If USA suddenly banned crypto exchanges, it would literally crash the entire system.

Why are you the way that you are?

You just can’t help but say something completely asinine in every thread on crypto/fiat on this board.

A big thing is that most people don’t really understand it. The understand $1 bill. They understand the value of a dollar. They don’t understand the value of 200 Shiba that they had to pancake swap on Meta Mask.

If that’s an ignorant example it’s because I, like most others, am ignorant when it comes to crypto.
Until that changes, government propaganda and misinformation is going to be very effective at holding crypto back.

Not Dropping, but definitely leaning more towards Crypto.com (Indigo Visa) and their 10% rewards.
Along with Coinbase / staking / and their Bitcoin rewards card.
KuCoin for stacks of XRP.
Good luck. Centralized exchanges are no better than your typical bank accounts. I'm 100% decentralized and only use a cex as fiat on/off ramp.

I agree with you.

then there is a large group of the population who would rather simp for banks than take sovereign control of their finances

dweeb types who need a credit score to finance things. ignore them at all costs
