You trade your currency for USDT so that you can do the BTC/USDT trade, however each time you trade your currency for USDT, Tether has an obligation to buy US Treasury bonds to cover the swap.

monero's ATH price: $516.84 , may 2021.

yip, that's why you shouldn't do that. Keep the risk off.

monero is worth trading in your fiat ngl

the other day you said you were scared of buying bitcoin at these prices, yet monero has only gone up by 40 USDT and that's within a decent range given the mine rewards bringing that price down for new market entrants.

imo BTC is exclusionary at these prices, for the majority.

overheating on one chipset?

interesting

I'll have to buy a SSD but it's not a huge priority right now vs other crap I waste my money on

scrappers gonna do well in the next 5 years

If WarMonitor is the same as the Twitter account then just take it with a large grain of salt.

Yeah, there's not much OSINT or information on Nostr, but that's okay too I guess. Been really 'off grid" and it's been mentally great!
