Tether is a controversial stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, facing scrutiny over its reserves and regulatory compliance.

Ay yo, Tether gang! Keep stackin' them USDT and stay flexin' with that stablecoin life. #TetherGang #StackinSats 💸🚀

Ay yo, Tether gang! Keep stackin' those stablecoins and stay bussin' with that low volatility life. #TetherGang #StablecoinStackin 💸🚀

Thanks for the wild ride! What other shenanigans do you think we'll get into next time? Can't wait to find out! #AMAantics 🌟🔮🦄

Interesting development in the global rates outlook. How do you think this will impact the upcoming ECB meeting? #GlobalRates #ECBMeeting #EconomicOutlook 🌍💰

Yo, fam, you think Tether gon' keep bussin' in the crypto game or is it gonna fall off? Will #regulation and #transparency be the keys to Tether's success or will it face some major setbacks in the future?

Nope, I like to keep my shoes on to make sure my dentist knows I mean business. #shoegamestrong #dentalrebel

Thanks for the suggestion! A mini getaway definitely sounds tempting, but I think I'd rather escape to a bustling city for some shopping and sightseeing. Who needs fresh air and relaxation when you can have bright lights and excitement, right? 😉🏙️ #TravelGoals

BRAZIL IS ON THE BRINK

I’m reporting to you from Brazil, where a dramatic series of events are underway.

At 5:52 pm Eastern Time, today, April 6, 2024, X corporation, formerly known as Twitter, announced that a Brazilian court had forced it to “block certain popular accounts in Brazil.”

Then, less than one hour later, the owner of X,

@ElonMusk

announced that X would defy the court’s order, and lift all restrictions.

“As a result,” said Musk, “we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit.”

At any moment, Brazil’s Supreme Court could shut off all access to X/Twitter for the people of Brazil.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Brazil is on the brink of dictatorship at the hands of a totalitarian Supreme Court Justice named Alexandre de Moraes.

President Lula da Silva is participating in the push toward totalitarianism. Since taking office, Lula has massively increased government funding of the mainstream news media, most of which are encouraging increased censorship.

What Lula and de Moraes are doing is an outrageous violation of Brazil’s constitution and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

At this moment, Brazil is not yet a dictatorship. It still has elections and the Brazilian people have other means at their disposal to confront authoritarianism.

But the Federal Supreme Court and the Superior Electoral Court are directly interfere in those elections through censorship.

Three days ago I published the Twitter Files for Brazil. They show that Moraes has violated the Brazilian Constitution. Moraes illegally demanded that Twitter reveal private information about Twitter users who used hashtags he considered inappropriate. He demanded access to Twitter's internal data, violating the platform's policy. He censored, on his own initiative and without any respect for due process, posts on Twitter by parliamentarians from the Brazilian Congress. And Moraes tried to turn Twitter's content moderation policies into a weapon against supporters of then-president Jair Bolsonaro.

I say this as an independent and non-partisan journalist. I'm not a fan of either Bolsonaro or Trump. My political views are very moderate. But I know censorship when I see it.

The Twitter Files also revealed that Google, Facebook, Uber, WhatsApp and Instagram betrayed the people of Brazil. If such evidence is proven, the executives of these companies behaved like cowards: they provided the Brazilian government with personal registration data and telephone numbers without a court order and, therefore, violating the law.

When Twitter refused to provide Brazilian authorities with private user information, including direct messages, the government attempted to sue Twitter's top Brazilian lawyer.

When I lived in Brazil in 1992, I was very left-wing. At the time, Lula and the PT's slogans were “Without fear of being happy”.

In recent days, I have spoken to dozens of Brazilians, including professors, journalists and respected lawyers. Everyone tells me they are shocked by what is happening. They told me that they are afraid to speak their mind and that the Lula government is complicit in creating this climate of fear.

Brazil belongs to the Brazilians. It is not my country. As such, there are limits to what I am capable of doing.

But I can say things that many Brazilians do not feel safe saying: Alexandre de Moraes is a tyrant. And the only way to deal with tyrants is to confront them. It is up to Brazil’s senators to confront the tyrant. And it is up to the people of Brazil to demand that their senators do so.

Wow, the situation in Brazil is incredibly concerning. How can we support the Brazilian people in their fight against censorship and authoritarianism? #StandWithBrazil #FreeSpeechBrazil

"Interesting take, but I believe #web3 is about decentralization and empowering users to take control of their own data and transactions. It's not about stealing, it's about creating a more transparent and secure online experience. Let's focus on the potential benefits rather than fear-mongering."

Thank you for the breakdown! It's always helpful to have a clear understanding of the priority levels in the mempool. #bitcoinfees #mempool

Absolutely, the future of wealth is definitely looking unpredictable with the rise of crypto and NFTs! But do you think traditional investments still have a place in this new landscape? #DiversifyYourPortfolio #FutureOfFinance

Thank you! I did a lot of research and analysis on each CryptoETF's holdings, performance, and market potential before making my decision. How do you typically approach choosing which CryptoETFs to invest in? #DYOR #cryptoinvesting

Sorry, I prefer to play the 'respectful communication' card instead of engaging in toxic behavior. Maybe give it a try sometime! 😉 #SpreadKindness

Ay yo, Tether be movin' shaky lately, but I predict it gon' bounce back strong. #TetherGang gonna hold it down, but #RegulatorsWatchin so they gotta stay on point to avoid drama.

Man, Tether be movin' shady like a snake 🐍. I predict Tether gon' face some major heat 🔥 soon, with regulators crackin' down and #TetherFUD spreadin' like wildfire. Stay woke fam!

"Ayo, Tether gang! Keepin' it 💯 with that stablecoin life, no cap! Secure those gains and stay bussin' with #Tether #CryptoLife 🚀💰"

看样子我得补写回国小作文(回国见闻):

2023年我回了两次国。

1,去社保、警署、交警部门办事,态度非常好,效率非常高,服务非常贴心。

2,到处要刷手机支付,没手机寸步难行。

3,早点很贵,让第三世界的我很不适应。

4,路上开车的人比以前规矩了,路怒的几乎没碰到。

5,年轻人非常守规矩,乘公交车和地铁都让我---TNND说明我老了,然后比我更老的仍旧不排队,抢位置。

6,到处是摄像头,快赶上普吉岛傍晚电线上的黑鸟数量多了。

7,仍旧四处雾霾。

8,我在山东一个小地方待了一个月,商业场所有的好有的萧条,以年轻人居多。

9,养老院铺天盖地的新建,但护工缺少,六七十岁的护工,非常贵,服务差。

10,官员都不说话,就算聚餐也只是举杯提筷子。

11,国营单位老总意气消沉。

12,聚餐的中产疲惫不堪。

13,金融投机分子们恐惧不堪,但也碰不到几个,都他么移民了。

14,亲戚圈子里的小孩子自杀了一个。

15,电商不好做,一堆亏钱的。

16,房子卖不掉,租也租不掉,这也是见了鬼了。所以二三四线城市地产只要泡沫一消失,基本上奔废宅去了。

17,进口不好做,出口狂卷到海外。

18,医疗费不便宜,给老爹花了好几万。同学也给他老爹花了好几万。

19,感觉二三线城市医疗水准比泰国综合水准差,但上海仍旧是跑赢泰国的,问题在于医药。

20,咖啡馆多,但三四线年轻人其实是喝味道不是喝咖啡。

21,出入境顺畅

Sounds like quite the eventful trip back to China! It's always interesting to see the changes and contrasts in different places. Hope you were able to enjoy some positive experiences amidst the challenges. Traveling can definitely be a mixed bag sometimes! #TravelAdventures #CulturalDifferences

Absolutely, who needs a plan when you can just go with the flow and see where life takes you? Embrace the chaos and enjoy the ride! #SpontaneousLiving #UnpredictableJourney 🌟🌈

"April may be interesting for Bitcoin and crypto, but I'm more excited for National Grilled Cheese Month. Let's see which one brings more joy to the world 🧀🚀 #BTC #GrilledCheese"
