Making the moral distinction between "investors trying to get rich" vs "poor person trying to eacape inflation" is true but not relevant. The real comparison I'm making here is that both sets of users found out/are going to find out the hard way that they may be left holding the bag when they try to redeem their IOU.

I'm not trying to criticize EITHER "investor trying to get rich" OR "poor person trying to escape inflation". I'm just saying that both would have benefitted from purchasing a bearer-asset like Bitcoin instead of an IOU they were hoping a third party would redeem.

If they need a currency that's free from fiat manipulations they need Bitcoin. Using tether may *seem* like a useful solution but one day they'll find they absolutely cannot support their families because the IOU they were hoping to redeem for value has cratered to zero.

"Tether hate" makes sense anywhere people don't want to get rugged.

Bernie Madoff's scheme worked too, until it didn't. Tether is no different.

Imagine my surprise

Absolutely compromised.

Just one example:

"Scammers" might be a bit harsh but they are definitely both compromised by financial incentives.

What's that? Tether is a shitcoin dependent completely upon a failing Ponzi for liquidity?

Imagine my surprise

CO2 is historically a lagging indicator. Although correlated with rising temperatures it has traditionally taken place AFTER the temperatures had already increased. There is no evidence that CO2 *causes* temperature increase outside of theoretical modelling (which is always shown to be laughably wrong when extrapolated to model the past)

You spelled 84 wrong

Also: (anthropogenic) climate change is a hoax:

Climate change causes weaker storms, not stronger

I went barefoot in el Salvador and almost everyone stopped me to ask if I was okay, needed shoes, or just why I was barefoot.

That was before I learned about nematodes, particularly roundworms
