I have a different take on bitcoin, tether, and dollars
Can also speak with authority on nation state violence
"Nothing makes you feel more free than taking another person's freedom"
and @profplum99 concerns with tether, bitcoin, and decentralization make sense yet I remain long BTC
They are correct on force, I worked in decentralized societies, they are dangerous because the state does not have a monopoly on violence
For those in the first world who have never seen a milita ride out of the desert, kill and enslave farmers, and the government cannot stop it because the 21st century slave trade pays better than the UN, the reality of decentralization is might equals right
I know, that isn't the decentralized future Buterin talks about while wearing a t-shirt with a cat fighting space invaders on it (love those shirts)
But we need to be real, disrupting the global centralized economy won't be like Uber putting taxis out of work
It will be war and faminine level disruption as old empires come alive again
For decentralization to rise the centralized global power of the last 70 years (US Hegemony) has to weaken
Yes we will be rich, but as the Big Short says,
"you can be happy, just don't fucking dance"

After much investigation and conversations with people on here, I\u2019ve formed a relatively robust theory of what may be happening with Tether.

Unless you want to ignore the threat of Trump's coup, Trump running our departments, pro Trump people running our inauguration & most of the people in charge of guarding the inauguration are white & therefor many of them are white supremacists & pro Trump. @benFranklin2018
If people were to pay more attention to @benFranklin2018 & take their words seriously, we'd be in a far better place. They argue that posts that one that this tweet is responding to are cringe & instill a false sense of complacency & security. Those voices are promoted on MSM.
This is b/c they don't want to promote any panic among the American people. They also realize that the same corporations serve Trump as them, hence we have a fascist threat.
Something that I notice too is that those who are the most likely to deny that Trump's coup is still going on & that it has a dangerous level of succeeding are white & older. P.o.C & younger people are not as likely to deny the problem.
The part to keep in mind is that older people & white people are more likely to benefit from a Trump dictatorship &/or be indoctrinated w/American exceptionalism. In terms of our gov't, there is no comparison b/t the 1960's & today. Today, our gov't is authoritarian.
Donald Trump will not be president in precisely 48 hours.

New 2020 cyber trends report now out!
The new Recent Cyber Events and Possible Implications for Armed Forces report gives high-level analysis on major 2020 cyber trends - direct link to report here:
Section 1: Overview of Solarwinds and the extended campaign that resulted in the breach of several US government agencies. A discussion on supply chain security management and how vulnerabilities compounded to make the attack possible (and un-detected).
