Bloomberg has an interesting article on crypto, focusing on Tether. -- (link) - mara Oct 8, 10:07 8
- If you're interested in the Tether background, here are links to a few old ST discussions: - The Allfather Oct 8, 10:30 5
  - BTW, on the date of that first post, Tether was worth right at a dollar. Today, it's worth right at a dollar. That...shouldn't happen. - The Allfather Oct 8, 10:33 4
    - Having read the article, that’s the whole point of a stablecoin though, no? -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 8, 10:34 3
      - Yes but that's the trick in play. Bitcoin was around $11,400 that day. - The Allfather Oct 8, 10:41 1
        
        More importantly, given that episode, how the f*ck is tether even still around? -- nm - znufrii Oct 8, 11:02

      - But John Carter was suppose to vault him into Star status - eag Oct 8, 10:34
- having never watched it, but sort of knowing the cast, i assume that is Michael B Jordan? -- nm - Andie Oct 8, 10:05 2

raise your hand if you think you might have had covid at one point, but you had no diagnosis. *raises hand* -- (edited) - Diva Oct 8, 09:53 10
- I'd be surprised if I didn't. Never really sick but the number of people I was in contact with in Jan-June 2020 that had it is crazy. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 8, 12:48
