I commend you for that. But this Tether bank is not positive for bitcoin. The US needs to sell treasuries to keep printing dollars, and now that China and Russia ain't buying Tether is their best customer. Tether is dollarizing the 3rd world rather than orange pilling it.

They're trying to spread out the burden of inflation. It may just end up with more people realising that the dollar too, just like all the other fiat currencies, is not the bedrock they imagine

Or course. Strike is for spending and buying Bitcoin not for saving it. Simple way I explain it to people, self custody is like a safe in your house full of silver coins. Custodial is like a debit account at the bank. You wouldn't save money in a bank account for the same reason you don't save money in a custodial wallet. Not your keys = not your coins

Proud of you Jack
