USDt is very popular in Latin America, more popular than btc
Which is absolutely insane to me. Why would people of a foreign country want to use the currency of a different nation?.... ESPECIALLY when they know the other nation can and will print more of the currency to enrich themselves at the expense of the foreigners using said currency.
Latin America is ensuring they always remain subservient to the politics of the US. They're literally choosing slavery. It baffles me. They should love Bitcoin.

On May 19, 2023 @DarthCoin writes about Taproot Assets, on May 31, 2023 @siggy47 also writes about it asking if it was good or bad. In one of the comments DarthCoin mentions the following:
"Taro, also known as TapAss, is designed to be used by corporations, businesses, financial institutions, rentals, or any other financial entity that needs/wants to issue digital assets and trade them or use them for their financial instruments.
Here we can say: a corporation like Microstrategy that wants to issue bonds or stocks and trade them in a decentralized way or move them between owners, without resorting to legacy financial systems.
tapass is not for the plebs to go buy a coffee! It will either fix the liquidity of their shitty node or speed up the opening of their on-chain channels, etc... Stop thinking about that!
TapAss DOES NOT SOLVE ANYTHING that can be broken. It just creates new friction."
Then he puts the following meme
He said it more than a year ago. He's not a prophet but...
Chapó @DarthCoin

Thanks for the reminder.
Yes indeed I am not a prophet, I just pay attention to all aspects and think with a clear head, don't fall for all "new thing" posted by influencers on twatter.
Also read a lot of documentation to see how things works. You don't have to be a super coder to read technical documenration, just pay attention to explanatiins in the abstract sections.
But unfortunately the greed of some peoole will fuck up bitcoin.
Many are jumping around to say that this tether over LN bullshit will bring more adoption of bitcoin. WRONG. This will push more clueless nocoiners into tether.
And tether = fiat = just one step away from CDDC.
People forget why we are here, in Bitcounlandia... To destroy fiat, not to make it stronger and used.

Yep, my company has customers there and also Africa. Its popular both places.
90% of those don't make enough money to consider savings, they are living on $300 per month - and its $300 in / $300 out, theres no luxury to consider investing in BTC to gain "58% 5 year CAGR".
They are solely after a transactional currency that offers relatively low month-to-month inflation. They are dealing with local currencies can inflate 10% per month. That sort of month-to-month inflation can be ruinous if you are living payday to payday.

Too many bitcoiners and libertarians live in a bubble of relative wealth and privilege
