How is people buying tether and getting screwed related to you? What is the externality they are imposing on you?

Also even if that were true, it would show something else: the entitlement of doing something unto others to your own benefit. Isnt that always the reason to apply force?

Even the most stringent and controlled economies can prevent crashes. Thats not what the SEC does as a purpose or as a result. Let alone in this space.

Bitcoin is entering another stage now where its resistance to this will be tested, hard.
