If that happens and people don't get mad, it will be truly, truly sad.

Most people here are pro ownership. If you think everyone should own their data (they should), why wouldn't you think that everyone should also own their money?

Crypto might be a 'scam', but at least I get to own the risks. Giving up ownership means that my money is just used by bankers to invest in their own scams, and when they screw up, bail them out again.

You can't be pro data ownership and anti money ownership.

Well that’s easy to say when everything’s is going your way haha, as soon as bitconnect and gox and quadriga hit the fan the first thing people did was yell “help! Police!! Why didn’t anyone stop this?!” That’s exactly what’s going to happen with tether.

And I would still be fine with it because, again, my money, my risk.

You have a chance to disrupt an ageing, slow legacy industry - banking - and most people here are rooting for the dinosaurs. Amazing!
