Thelonious08Kirsten Gillibrand voted with the Fascist who's destroying our 250-year-old republic.

⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯Good article in The Prospect about the coming STABLE and GENIUS acts, which will give an implicit bail out guarantee to crypto money laundering firms - sorry, i mean "stablecoins" - like <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Tether" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tether</a> and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Circle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Circle</a> (<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Coinbase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coinbase</a>). One of the two would also let <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElonMusk</a> print his own dollars.Senate <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Democrats</a> like <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/KirstenGillibrand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KirstenGillibrand</a>, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElissaSlotkin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElissaSlotkin</a>, and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RubenGallego" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RubenGallego</a>, whose election campaigns were supported by incredible amounts of crypto money, will probably make sure these bills become laws (because they are corrupt).Note that stablecoins are currently incredibly profitable businesses. After all a stablecoin is basically a bank where you spend nothing on anti-money laundering & other regulations, refuse to assist customers who have been scammed, and collect 5% interest from the US government while passing absolutely none of it on to your customers.<a href="https://prospect.org/power/2025-03-10-some-democrats-endorse-bill-allowing-elon-musk-create-own-currency/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://prospect.org/power/2025-03-10-some-democrats-endorse-bill-allowing-elon-musk-create-own-currency/</a><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crypto</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/senate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#senate</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nypol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nypol</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/USDT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USDT</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/USDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USDC</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/stablecoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stablecoin</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/stablecoins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stablecoins</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/finreg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#finreg</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/FederalReserve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FederalReserve</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MaxineWaters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaxineWaters</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/CApol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CApol</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DNC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DNC</a>

⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯<a href="https://mastodon.social/@daedalean" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@daedalean</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/@GhostOnTheHalfShell" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GhostOnTheHalfShell</a> for all intents and purposes there are really only two <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/stablecoins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stablecoins</a>:1. USDT (Tether - ~70% of the market) 2. USDC (<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Coinbase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coinbase</a>, technically through a company called Circle - ~25% of the market)the rest are tiny.USDC has actually done an audit or two and we know where the money is (it's in a blackrock trust). <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Tether" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tether</a> has been the subject of a lot of writing and speculation by me and many others for years now.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/KirstenGillibrand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KirstenGillibrand</a> works for the Coinbase / <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/a16z" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a16z</a> / <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Circle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Circle</a> axis of crypto evil so this bill is basically creating rules that would push Tether USDT out of the US market.Coinbase CEO has already made noise about how they will probably have to delist USDT. Circle CFO is on video saying that Tether is a counterfeiting operation.(fun fact: Circle USDC was the largest depositor at <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SiliconValleyBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiliconValleyBank</a> and if SVB had been allowed to collapse and $3.2bn worth of USDC had died with it the entire crypto industry would have gone kaput.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/moralhazard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moralhazard</a>

⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯Senator <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/KirstenGillibrand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KirstenGillibrand</a> (D-NY) is basically a wholly owned subsidiary of <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Coinbase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coinbase</a>, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/a16z" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a16z</a>, and the rest of the US crypto industry (as this Op-Ed in CoinDesk makes abundantly clear).Unfortunately she never got the memo about how the preferred nomenclature is now “<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/tokenization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tokenization</a>” and “RWAs” because “<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Web3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Web3</a>” just makes people think of monkey JPGs / <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/NFTs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NFTs</a>.What’s really happening here is that Circle / Coinbase are trying to get the US Government to legislate <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Tether" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tether</a> out of their market. While I support this goal I don’t think legitimizing Circle’s <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/USDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USDC</a> - who are, if anything, worse about compliance than Tether - is good policy. <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/opinion/2025/02/10/why-we-need-a-bipartisan-stablecoin-bill" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.coindesk.com/opinion/2025/02/10/why-we-need-a-bipartisan-stablecoin-bill</a><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/uspolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspolitics</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SenatorGillibrand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SenatorGillibrand</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DNC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DNC</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Democrats</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/NYpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NYpol</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/NYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NYC</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/NewYork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewYork</a>
