- If USDT cannot be created at will but requires backing, it's not fiat in the way you mean (something from decree only). - we don't prefer fiat - fiat is not the origin of all evil. This is a misquote of the Bible verse. Man's rebellion against Gid is the origin of all evil. - I accept there is always going to be controls in place over me, even if it is only natural law. In all likelihood, people will always owe money to other people. But no, Ixwould prefer to not be a slave to anyone but Christ. - adding USDT to a platform is going to be useful to people who cannot access USD and need a widely accepted money they can easily use. Obviously I would prefer they use bitcoin, but this will bring them closer to bitcoin when they are ready.
