   Of everyone I talk to within the finance community no-one (and I mean NO ONE) actually has interest in CBDC's besides the banks themselves. I frankly just don't understand why anyone should care. If they want to roll out a federat

    I'm looking at it right now and am struggling to understand how you interpreted his statement as Strike running on Tether. I see exactly one mention of Tether in the article: >Strike then takes the bitcoins and automatically convert
