Stick with bitcoin and stay away from centralized crypto, especially stablecoins

[Ucy]

Ofcourse it's far better to trade with Bitcoin than use a centralized crypto controlled (or can potentially be controlled) by people you could clash with in the future, or your adversaries.

Besides centralized cryptos are definitely not true crypto. They are (like) fiat currencies which are typically under individuals, groups or centralized governments control who can force their will on users.
A crypto coin is true crypto when it shares thesame principles with Bitcoin or even has better principles

I'm not surprised by this at all, the tether is centralized, which makes it scary to hold and what makes it even more dangerous was when they signed a collaboration agreement with DOJ, FBI and other security agencies which I created a thread about back in 2023.  Tether Confirms Extensive Collaboration With DOJ, FBI and Secret Service

These freezed wallets linked to Venezuela are not the last, but should also be part of a reminder to anyone trying to be free that they should do it the right way and not trust a centralized system (tether). 

Tether froze $3.3 billion in assets for two years, which is 30 times the size of Circle In the next report, it is definitely going to be clocking 4billion dollars and above.

With billions of dollars Tether is making from government bond and treasury bills, if the united states offer them a bounty to go back in time to find Escobar,  they will give out his wallet and froze it quickly if he has one. How many times has the government accused them of not real, sue them for different reasons, we should have seen this coming, you can't operate a large sum of money and not be influenced by politics and the government forced approval on things, "it's either you work for us or we label you as money laundering enablers", that's it.

This alone is an awareness, if there are more people like Maduros that has government wealth, personal wealth settled in USDT would have move them by now, that's if they are smart to do so. This will even give Bitcoin more exposure and more liquidity for holders, they go no where with their funds even if the market is bleeding, more exposures and more holders for long term, the more they enjoy the profit they see, the more they want to stay instead of crappy stable coins that can be seized.
