I think literally anyone could have told you he's absolutely a bitcoiner like 2 years ago and it's a huge reason why he jumped out to an early lead in NYC before idk mispronouncing bed stuy or not folding the lovely pizza, which immediately got him tarred as an outsider

iirc Yang tried to stake himself as a blockchain dipshit once he was already tanking in the NYC mayoral race

unrelated, my pal in ASHRAE pointed out that some butter got a propaganda piece published in their trade journal this month. I guess it's not super interesting - mostly the same basic lies butters have been telling for ten years - but I'd love to hear how it loving got there. who bribed whom exactly

seems like backing your stable coins with unsecured loans is standard now and coinbase has been forced to admit this is what they've been doing the whole time

quote:

A Coinbase spokesman pointed to a blog post from earlier this month that said USD Coin’s reserves comply with regulatory requirements. On the day Bloomberg News contacted the company, some of the language describing USD Coin’s assets on its website changed.

“Each USDC is backed by one dollar or asset with equivalent fair value, which is held in accounts with U.S.-regulated financial institutions,” the spokesman, Andrew Schmitt, added in a statement Tuesday. “Users can always redeem 1 USD Coin for US$1.00. We have added additional detail to our website for customers to understand more about USDC reserves.”

From December 2018, the earliest saved page available from the Internet Archive, to Monday when Bloomberg called, Coinbase on its website described USD Coin as backed by dollars “held in a bank account.” A more in-depth help page about the coin said it was “100% collateralized by a corresponding USD held in bank accounts of the issuer.”
