The middle finger to the IMF crooks nocoiners is going to be a little bit more costly, to our fellow bitcoiner.

Haven't seen this much snow in one dump for a few years now.
Hope you're in Mexico, JimboToronto!
Hope you're in Mexico, JimboToronto!
Nope, right here in the Big Smoke. We would have been in Mexico by now if Omicron hadn't screwed up air travel.
Luckily we knew it was coming and got salt down before it started. Got our grocery shopping done yesterday. Woke up this morning, sat down at the Hammond and played some snow songs. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Remember the "Mel Lastman" snowfall in 1999? That was a snowfall, twice as deep as this.
We basically treated today as a snow holiday and took an extended siesta this afternoon and then my wife made a big pot of traditional Mexican hot ponche which I spiked with 12-year-old Demerara rum. Warmed us right up. Now we're thawing some well-marbled flatirons. Yum.
We're waiting to see which thaws first, Omicron travel or our lake in Muskoka. We love life downtown but we also need country living.
Life is good.

I agree that the Tether fud is, in general, fairly silly.
But I do want to say.. I am also not entirely comfortable with some of the trends I see happening with Tether.
There are lot's of two faced "Bitcoin Maxis" not only cozying up with Tether, but are actually using it via Ethereum at the same time of lambasting Vitalic and all the people on twatter with x.eth after their name.
I see a lot of nuance here. For example, I think I like the idea of using Blockstream's tether on their sidechain more than Eth for structural/scaling reasons. But I am still somewhat bothered by the tension between using Tether in place of Bitcoin... by so many people who have preached the "BITCOIN ONLY" gospel from the beginning.
....
But something just seems wrong about these idealists embracing Tether.
It bugs me. But I have not worked through all of it yet, I guess...

I can't say I know that much about Tether, as I haven't had any interest in it to look into it too deeply.
Having a stablecoin pin its value on a fiat is already a laughably bad idea. But to back a so-called "stablecoin" without being able to prove that it's actually pegged to the fiat dollar, much less able to prove its pegged to anything at all really, nor to be able to verify who holds it or how much, if the collateral backing it (fiat) is there and accessible 1:1, seems actually far worse than backing digital fiat to me.
And beyond just making day trading easier, what purpose does it serve?

Good one, but would be more appropriate to place an image of a gorgeous naked woman under the 100k party sign...

Then he publicly lied (well, or you interpret the facts by publishing unverified information). I mean, coinbase has been focused on working with alternative coins since its inception, not to mention the fact that at the initial stage of development Coinbase was called Bitbank.Just because you say that doesn't make it true. That's a lie. They were not, and they launched with only bitcoin on their broker platform. Some of us that were around then know that, because we were there.
Stop spreading misinformation.
