The New Bitcoin-Dollar System (Bad News)

Please help to support this channel's work:

From Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University ## Video Description > In this video, I discuss Mark Goodwin's thesis about the Bitcoin-Dollar System, which is a theory that Bitcoin adoption by the US government will be rolled out in such a way that helps to preserve US dollar hegemony, while encouraging people to continue to buy and hold US Treasuries via USD stablecoins. > Tether has become a key player in this game, and has positioned itself as the US government compliant stablecoin provider, enforcing OFAC-sanctions and onboarding the FBI and Secret Service. > Tether is now investing in spy satellites, along with Howard Lutnick who runs Cantor Fitzgerald, which is Tether's main custodian for its holdings of US Treasuries. > Meanwhile, Senators Gillibrand and Lummis have put language into their stablecoin bill that will make algorithmic stablecoins illegal in the US, thus ensuring that Tether and other companies that buy massive amounts of US government debt will continue to take market share and help to fund the US federal government. > I'm here for global Bitcoin adoption, not to support projects that further US dollar hegemony and help to finance an out-of-control US federal government. originally posted at

How Tether Helps To Fund The US Government

Please help to support this channel's work:

From Matthew Kratter's Bitcoin University ## Video Description > In this video, I discuss how Tether helps to prop up the US government by buying its debt and extending US dollar hegemony in the global south. > Many Bitcoiners seem content to look the other way, often because they are directly or indirectly on Tether's payroll. > Are we as Bitcoiners still going to be cheering on Tether when it is the #1 buyer of US Treasuries in the world in a few years from now? How are Bitcoiners going to rationalize supporting it at that point, when it's buying more Treasuries that Japan and China combined? > Here are the stark facts: * Tether exists only by the grace of Uncle Sam who refuses to go after the banks that hold Treasuries for Tether. * Tether helps to prop up the US government by buying its debt. * Tether spreads US dollar hegemony wherever it goes. > It's high time to "cut the tether" that's holding back humanity. > I don't care that Tether has been buying Bitcoin for its treasury or that it invests in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Those are two activities that any smart and successful company will do anyway. > Just because the drug lord is paying for your schools and hospitals doesn't mean that you wouldn't still be better off not living under a drug lord. > As for me, I want to use Bitcoin to help to defund the US government, not to expand its funding through USD stablecoins. originally posted at
