Excellent replies to everyone in this thread. You're spot on. Just out of curiosity, is there a marketplace for private APIs? I'd love if you could elaborate on the "charge someone else for it" part.

The goal is just for time to pass in the least unpleasant way possible, so moving to a fresh group would buy some time before the same problems become unbearable again. Pretty much the same reason we change jobs.

Very interesting and I agree that a blog post would be great on this topic. I think intuition is what I'm lacking here. It's unclear to me just how dangerous the situation is likely to be. Before this discussion, my understanding

I don't understand. Why would Tether send USDT if they didn't receive a true deposit of an equal amount of USD? That doesn't seem like it would help Tether at all.

I suppose I'll take option #1, if we're saying that "attestations" are not a form of auditing. It seems pedantic to me, but maybe your usage is correct in the regulatory/accounting world. To use GUSD as an example,

USDT has to be minted through the Tether Treasury. Exchanges cannot create USDT themselves. As I understand it, exchanges wire Tether large amounts of USD, and then Tether mints and equal amount of USDT and sends it back to exchanges.

I don't know how you can say attestations by CPAs and LLPs don't count. These offerings are pretty transparent. If you choose to use a stablecoin that's not backed by on-chain collateral, you're accepting the attestatio

I fail to see the problem. If USDT is worth $1 because everyone agrees it is, everything works fine. It's been that way for a long time and will likely continue. If there's a run on the bank because people believe it's not w
