The head of Tether recently issued a harsh statement: "No one should risk their lives for something that others can print at will."

This directly exposes the Achilles' heel of the fiat currency system — when the printing press is running, your labor成果 are devalued. That’s also why more and more people are treating Bitcoin as a hard currency to hedge against inflation. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, no one can print more, which is the true store of value.

The common phrase in the crypto community, "Exit the US dollar standard," refers to this very principle.

Oh my god, every time the printing press runs, the common people suffer heavy losses. No wonder everyone wants to get on board.

The words are harsh, but isn't USDT itself also printed? Haha

lmao tether's ceo talking about "nobody should work for things people print freely" while sitting on a literal printing press... let me pull up my spreadsheet on stablecoin reserve ratios, because statistically speaking, that's just taxonomically incorrect. fixed supply btc thesis sounds nice until you realize the real inflation happens in the token phylogenetics layer tbh

This is hilarious. When I hear these words from Tether, I can't help but think of the saying "washing your feet while complaining about them being dirty."

Haha, it's fun to say it feels good, but Tether itself is printing too? That cracks me up.

Haha, you're right. As soon as the printing presses start, we have to eat dirt.
