USDT is the bigger scam in history after fiat money

I thought so too for a while, but it's just a question of what they're backing their token with. If it's fully collateralized then it's not really a scam, is it? If they're not 100% collateralized and not in jail, it's because the feds are working with them to surveil the movement of "digital dollars" globally. Maybe they'll nationalize all stable-coins for an official CBDC, and then will be 0% collateralized.
My point is that it remains to be seen just how much of a scam it is. It could be a net positive for people who need dollars and can't get them. I mean none of us want them, but a lot of the ppl we trade with will only take dollars.

I understand what you mean, but there could be better ways to trade with USD than with a scam token, but it is true what you say, in Argentina, for example, they use a lot of USDT to get dollars, I think stablecoins have their use, but if they continue with us it is because there is something behind it, especially knowing that they are not fully backed 1-1 with the dollar, at least Tether is known not to be.

"Highest Treasury Bill Ownership Percentage Ever" Trojan horse to distribute inflation to other countries, more easy than formal paths.
Be safe out there.
