There are no coincidences.

I wonder if their dissent will be used against them in a future court of “law” proceeding?

Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2zkxg5t have you all considered removing the purchase fees for anyone using Strike to receive their bi-weekly paycheck? Right now, it would be cheaper for someone to set up a recurring purchase (bi-weekly) of their whole paycheck from their bank account on payday instead of receiving a direct deposit into Strike. Just a 💭

Have one of the elves, who is out of breath from the fight, say “looks like this one is angry!” Right after that, it gets very quiet before the troll looks around the tree and roars. The music should be excited instrumentals

GM. #USDT will always be censorable (including on #Bitcoin and #lightning )

I’ll go out on a limb and say, day 1, this will be the case. Remove any ambiguity. Any wallet that accepts USDT on lightning will be censorable, and there will not be a single wallet which can accept USDT without the company being able to invalidate the tokens.

I understand and appreciate you being dedicated to your company. But I think you spoke with such conviction, stating it was I who was wrong, to now go back and say “I’m here to learn” is a cop-out.

So you’re telling me that USDT on lightning will be able to avoid all the current confiscation abilities Tether currently has on other chains? That Tether, the company, will have to honor any USDT tokens exchanged on lightning for actual USD?

Yeah, there’s no way. USDT on lightning will have the same confiscation abilities available to other chains.

Want to put some sats on it? I will bet you 10k sats that any wallet that has USDT abilities on lightning will be censorable. You say it won’t. 10k sats on it.

It isn’t about halting the transaction. It’s about what happens when you want that USDT to be worth something when you need to spend it. Tether needs to know where each of their USDT tokens is. You break the law, they can invalidate your tokens. That’s how the system works.

Putting things on Bitcoin doesn’t magically make them un-censorable. Tether is still a centralized company and asset.

Tether can freeze any account balance, invalidating it from being traded. Tether can flag any account to say it isn’t convertible to USD. Then the wallet software would pick that up, say it’s no good, and stop any transactions.

Tether is centralized. Just because the rails aren’t doesn’t make the USDT suddenly un-censorable.

Yes. The transactions are on lightning rails, but USDT is still issued by Tether, and can be seized/“censored” by them, no matter the rails.

“Budget-neutral” idea for the US to stack more sats:

Lower tariffs if paid in #Bitcoin

Just a thought…

You can just earn sats back for paying bills. Strike and nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq35amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdaexzmn8v4cxjmrv9ejx2aslhjmr8 looking out for the plebs.
