What there is is a stablecoin revolution, or in other words, growing demand for dollars and financing for the United States.&#xA;- For years it was said that tether was a scam, and now it turns out that tether is the key to everything and is financing the US government. Tether is not going to fall; it is the new form of financing for the US and, incidentally, tether is the most profitable company in the world.&#xA;- Monero grows stronger every time it is rejected by the system. It is a clear message, but Bitcoiners are happier with ETFs and the price suppressed through paper Bitcoin.&#xA;&#xA;Bitcoiners are not as smart as you think. This year has been a good lesson in humility.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
