Did I say I did not find it deeply troubling?

You said

> Nothing about blockchains, DLTs, crypto, at its core is a scam to me

Which I took as an implication that you didn’t see Tether as a deeply troubling or a scam

Tether is an application, not a core technology. Stablecoins would fit that quote.

Tethers management is the problem - obfuscation and using other crypto as collateral instead of just USD.
