I think USDC is making their move to introduce CBDC into the market.

And may I ask you, how?? USDC is a crypto company and CBDC is a "central bank digital currency". So not just USDC, rather any commercial banks can't introduce CBDC unless specifically authorised or instructed by the central bank of that country. So regardless of the fact whether the company had purchased a bank or not, CBDC is not something they can operate legally.

So the question is... Are you ready and prepared for the CBDCs?

If I look from the perspective of convenience, then CBDC is great. But if I am looking from the perspective of my financial privacy, then it's a bad thing that can happen in my life. Now choose accordingly.


Circle was founded in 2013. A month after Circle announced its decision to merge with Concord, the crypto firm declared it would seek a charter to become a full-reserve national commercial bank.

why are people now pushing the combination of cryptocurrencies and traditional banking too much? .. even though these are two contradictory things .. initially cryptocurrency was developed to be able to realize financial freedom from traditional banking, but now we are increasingly difficult to realize the original goal of crytocurrency

It's not about traditional banking or money.

It's about power.

I think we knew in the back of our minds that this technology (blockchain / crypto etc) could lead us down towards two roads.

One a dystopian future and the other utopia.

2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Justin Sun creates "the most decentralized Stablecoin" on: May 19, 2022, 12:50:21 AM
The founder of Tron, the well-known Justin Sun decided to launch a decentralized Stablecoin called Decentralized USD (USDD). The difference from all existing ones, according to Justin Sun, will be that USDD will be “the most decentralized stablecoin in human history.”
In his message on Twitter, he says https://twitter.com/justinsuntron/status/1517143091722940417 "The USSD will provide custody services for the $10B worth of highly liquid assets raised from blockchain industry initiators and use them as an early-stage reserve. The TRON DAO will set its basic risk-free interest rate to 30% per annum".

Do you think USDD will be more decentralized than existing decentralized stablecoins?



updated
On May 5, a decentralized algorithmic USDD stablecoin was launched on the Tron network, which is also available in Ethereum and BNB Chain. In addition, USSD mining in these networks was also announced.

I think he's trying to get people to short him. The protocol has pretty much the same mechanics as Luna / UST.

The only difference is Justin Sun has a LOT more money than Terra. They're small fish.

Would i short the man who bought this art piece for 78M+?

One interesting aspect if CBDCs are going to be launched they can be used as a trading tool instead of USDT since that is certainly not getting any comebacks and have failed the market but people do need some digital currency to trade from therefore I do think that if the time is right and the government is not creating any additional rules and unnecessary regulations regarding trading it can actually be good and it would ofcourse be backed up by the government so it won't be that volatile which what usdt lacked but should have been pegged 1:1. What do you think about it ?

After LUNA hyped, I think that it is better for platforms that provide staking services and for investors to stay away from investing heavily in stablecoins in order to achieve easy and quick profits.
The principle of proving staking in these currencies has proven that it has a point of failure and then the return is like 8 and 10 you will lose if the link between these coins and the value of 1 dollar is broken.

So I don't think this is good news, especially if Coinbase stock investments was bad and the cryptocurrency start a bear market, how will USDC be able to pay the 8% APY?

given that USDC is pegged to actual USD assets, what is the likelihood that in time some of its owners will exit this market, creating another catastrophe in the stablecoin industry? im not being pessimistic here but we need to consider worst possible scenario. we can't say, the people behind USDC will forever be loyal to their project. at some point, they may feel exhausted and just want to cash out their share.
it is a good question, how can they sustain the APY offered to their customers?

They got Blackrock backing them. I remember they were holding what ,like 11T in assets?I think personally the smartest thing is Mortgage Backed Securites (MBS) in crypto form , Give it backing so you can earn a yield over a period of time. Makes the most sense to me. Turn slums into A AA AAA. People are over leveraged on their mortgages and with the market acting the way it is , We are at a point when a lot of people are broke. Crime Rises , People can't pay their mortgages , and foreclose , Black rock swoops in and buys all of the property at a discount and then turns them into MBS on the Chain.


Ultimately if you print the money... Who governs you? No one. Are you accountable? No.  You can print governments GDPs. You can overthrow governments and cause coups... All you gotta do is Quantitative ease. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I think they're gonna use it as a means of bankrupting the citizens , and then take everything at a discount. 2008 is gonna happen again i believe truly...Just this time it'll be digital.

It's not supposed to make any sense. USD or Tether, you have to trust the issuer to maintain the value of the asset. Doesn't take much for confidence to tumble like a stack of cards if the market decides that there's too much uncertainty in your asset. Nothing's stopping you from creating your own centralized crypto and pegging it to whatever you feel like as long as you can convince people you have the underlying assets to maintain solvency. Tether claims to have nearly 70 billion dollars in assets so whoever wishes to put any of their funds into Tether better hope that those assets are real.

so pretty much this world is clown world and we live in a time where our money doesn't make sense. Got it.

Long Bitcoin , Short the bankers.

I think USDC is making their move to introduce CBDC into the market.

The problem with the US is that if you operate a money transmitter business in the US , you need to have a Bond for each individual state which starts at like 1M USD+. Other states have varying rates for their bond but it operates as an insurance for sending money.

Now Banking licenses are also hard to acquire but USDC (Circle) has purchased their own Bank and they are acquiring their own Banking licenses.

My theory is that with that , they can turn fiat -> USDC direct for their users.

The SPAC they held for the acquisition of the bank itself would allow them to become the bank. I think this is the one thing that was missing in the US regarding crypto. Coinbase couldn't do this but Circle i believe has been able to succeed and i think they will be catalyst to the CBDCs.

So the question is... Are you ready and prepared for the CBDCs?

What do you think this will do to the crypto market with USDC becoming the standard?

Tether? Any other stablecoins?

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Second opinions on Jasmy on: May 18, 2022, 03:26:55 AM
So i found this altcoin called "Jasmy"

Went from 1USD to 5USD and then it dumped to 0.01.

Suddenly it's on Coinbase and then all major exchanges afterwards. Perpetuals and everything else.

I found it strange so i did some digging and i found the people associated to the project are all Sony people.

So that peaked my interest. And i started looking into it and my intuition told me to dig deeper.

I did not know anything about Sony before i started looking into this. But i discovered that Sony itself is a Massive Behemoth who do not just do movies / video games and stuff...They do everything.

Did you know that Sony has their own Bank? I didn't. https://moneykit.net/en/

Did you know that Sony has their own insurance company? I didn't.

Did you know Sony has their own payments systems? I didn't. 

Did you know that Sony has people at the mega banks? MUFG example. One of their former presidents now runs their Sony Financial. Did you know that the same bank owns 24% of Morgan Stanley?

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation is the bank they're associated to on their website , which holds about  $2.18T AUM.

They're also the only crypto which is backed the FSA which is like SEC for Japan. seems to be very hard to secure one of these licenses. Now that got me excited. What in the world was Sony planning with this? It's an IoT Crypto... But if u look into one of the founders patents that is related to Sony... It seems to be implants that can monetize humans. They even own the patents for it.

https://patents.justia.com/inventor/kazumasa-sato

Then i found they were associated to this thing called "Line.me" which is like the Facebook in South East Asia. They partnered with them. If you look through the application , they have a full suite of services. Which can be monetized with Jasmy as it's backing and allows users to sell their data essentially.

I would tell you more , But my due diligence led to several entities like Greyscale / Santander / Genesis Trading / Coinbase ... Another one is interesting is Securitize.io. Sony invested MILLIONS into this...

They called this asset the "Japanese bitcoin"

But did i stumble into a Black mirror investment / episode?

If you guys can add any other insights or things to my crazy research and speculation... I would love to hear it. My friends think i'm a little crazy but maybe it's the lack of sleep but am i wrong?

Let me know your thoughts and insights. I'm going to do some more digging but man i think i'm going crazy looking into this.

Cheers!

How does any of these stablecoins have any value? And does it have to be pegged to something specifically?

Cuz Tether is backed by assets and reserves that aren't on-chain. The US Dollar is backed by the belief that it is worth 1USD but it's propped up by the fact that the US is the strongest military in the world.

If the Fed can print money out of thin air and Tether can too , How does this even make sense?

What is forcing someone from making their own "Tether" and saying its worth 1USD because i said so?

They're all right though , if you are successful as a trader , you should apply for a Series 7 to raise capital from accredited investors.

If you are legit , and know u will win, why not go after big money instead of chump change?
