Good summation. Not shocking of course, but still wild to see it all play out.

Agree 🧨

US District Columbia

Lights, crypto 🎬 Action!

welcome to the dystopian CBDC public-private partnership. its gonna suck for many

What altcoins are prospective CBDCs besides USDC?

Well Ethereum wasn’t just gonna save itself…

Would have gone*

Cash ban coming sooner than later

*Nikolai didn’t kill himself*

Trump is trying to do some Jedi mind tricks.

“These aren’t the CBDCs you are looking for.”

This makes the valuating CRCL a bit like determining the sex of the angels.

The new visa and mastercard? More or less the same

Those who praise stablecoins claim that unlike banks, stablecoin issuers hold 100% reserve funds of the money deposited by customers, so they are safe. But it seems they don’t know where the money is actually stored.

They hold it in cash or in fractionally reserved bank accounts. LOL.

Of course they hold it in fractionally reserved bank accounts. They just don't like when Tether does the fractional reserving on top of theirs.

Isn't USDT pretty much the same? They have openly admitted that they have onboarded US Secret Service and FBI to their platform. I think that it looks pretty much like a CBDC. What am I missing here...?
