... I am largely just responding to the parathesis portion of your post.. Otherwise I largely agree with what seems to be your points. Hahahahaha..
Tether hating seems to be in your username.
You maybe are coming off as one of those Tether haters, and aren't they labelled as "Tether denialists?" I am not claiming to be a Tether lover, but from my perspective Tether has always seem to defer to bitcoin and recognize bitcoin as the basis for their ability to exist, and surely the Tether deniers have been around since soon after Tether's entrance onto the scene (in 2014-ish). .
...and it seems to me that Tether has beat the pants off of so many of the denialists and the naysayers, including the time in 2016 or so? I cannot recall exactly when they had something like $800 million stolen from them in some Panamanian financial institutions, likely with winks and nods from branches of the US government trying to figure out how to take Tether down in terms of considering that they were sufficiently vulnerable to financial fuckery...and yeah, US government attacks on USDT while at the same time seeming to reach some agreements with them in terms of some allowance of back doors into tether and getting Tether to lock funds, cooperate with governments, which might even relate to surveillance arrangements, which seems to have had been the arrangement since some of the NY District cases were dropped in the past 4-5 years.
I am not claiming to having had studied these Tether matters in detail beyond just coming across these various dynamics within the bitcoin related space from time to time in which USDT has become a behemoth and not really seeming to pull some of the shady cozying up to government like the maneuvers that the Circle managers/leaders have been seeming to be inclined to practice.
I also get the impression that the USDT guys are really recognizing and appreciating bitcoin as the superior play, while the Circle guys consider appeals to government authority to be the superior play, and the Circle guys do not seem to hesitate to try to throw bitcoin under the bus when they consider that it might be to their advantage.. maybe partially evidenced by which side of the 2017 blocksize wars that each of these players fell.
I was a Tether supporter until they scrubbed their backed 1 to 1 with usd statement from their site, now they are nothing more than a untrustworthy bank as far as I'm concerned. maybe, or, perhaps, they bought something like 50K btc and 50 tons of gold, lol, making it NOT only backed with usd. That was not their use case, that is speculating. To that extent they never had $$ to begin with. They had treasuries...it is almost the same, but not exactly. I get your point though...my point was that they have "coverage", perhaps. That said, I have no USDT (and USDC after the bank fiasco).

That said, I have no USDT (and USDC after the bank fiasco). cash in a bank if usa based is likely to he better. i have no usdc and no usdt i do have cash in a bank. but i have much more btc than cash. i have a small amount of doge ltc trump solana and hard silver along with mining gear and I continue to stack and hold. not sell except for a small amounts sell ladder. from 113 to 277

USDC is Circle, it is a cutout of G.Ballsacks. I don't understand anyone that uses tokens from sources they haven't vetted. *not to mention on exchanges they don't vet.

Not to mention I like playing around in DeFi and I also like supporting all the Bitcoin things. I own some FBTC, MSTR, and even BLK to go along with wrapped Bitcoin. DeFi is pretty cool and there are cool ways to use Bitcoin with it.

Yes! Frankie's voice is exactly whose voice was in what I typed. You are right. I tried to make this AI thing, but I don't think I got it past almost good enough. I tried, though. Here, I'll post it anyway. This was yesterday. I believe it's still working....  It could be too late to call forth the future that I want, but it's not too late to call forth the future in which we all get rich.
