But, euphemistically, wouldn't we prefer that our cardio-thoracic surgeon CONCENTRATE/FOCUS on‍ improving his skills & knowledge on cardio-thoracic surgery instead of dabbing into "hotel" ownership? 🙄
 
Maybe he should have stuck to what he is an expert‍ in. 🙄
 
It's not always so easy to know why other people do something that‌ makes sense to them but does not make sense to you??!!
 
One of the world's greatest athletes, an X-Men, couldn't cut it in another sport...and here we‍ have "average" humans trying to be leaders in several fields? Like WTF???!!!

Am I the ONLY one who⁢ sees these follies for what they are? 🙄
 
nah, same here. If one has (a lucky) successful strike, people⁤ often assume they can hit it the same way in several or even in whatever⁣ they touch.
 
He sold Tether in the beginning to Bitfinex, after Brock Pierce co-founded EOS with Brendan‌ Blumer and Daniel Larimer and they scammed people out of 4 billion dollars, but they‍ paid the SEC 24 million dollars so the SEC said all is forgiven.

It was⁠ common for US crypto people to get loans from Genesis instead of selling their crypto,⁤ now that they closed they are in trouble.

I can understand why the US let⁣ Tether operate, they basically promote and connect the Asian people to the US currency system.⁢
But capital outflow is supposedly a big problem for China, and Tether even operate in︀ HK, why does Xi Jinping let them continue their business?
Can someone explain this to︁ me? Stopping Tether would solve a very big problem for them instantly.
 
It works both ways. Many use tether to‍ pay for goods in China because banks just don't do international transfers very well.
 
One of the owners of Tether is a British Thai -Chinese linked chap if memory‌ serves.

-Chakrit Sakunkrit (Thai Name)
- Christopher Harborne (British Name)

You can research the funds‍ he's pushed into the UK political scene, this likely has a hands off warning to⁠ the US, and likewise his actions/activities here in Thailand would protect him for now.

This is MY circle of Competence!

China does NOT want this "problem" solved!︂ This isn't a problem for them. This is a life savior for them. It's too︃ long to write here. Too many documents I have to upload, but here is one:︄

***I do NOT admit knowledge of cryptocurrencies as I don't know who is who...even people︅ I've been doing business with for years. Think about it... some of you have a︆ wife you have known for years and you STILL wouldn't introduce them to a "courtesan"︇ smi(&%
Anyway, I just pretend to be shocked by the newly acquired information. This convo goes︈ on for a few pages and then we get into a call ... after he︉ "convinced" me to send USD₮ 😉

I'll explain in general terms.... our whole system (capitalist, democracy,︊ etc etc...whatever) is based on "some" pre-ordained politically privileged & connected individuals running a HUGE︋ monopoly (pleonasm, I know). Independent small sellers and independent small resellers with independent end users︌ take away massive profits from platforms like Amazon, Mercado Libre, eBay, etc., etc., that use︍ their excess cash to... we-all-know-what. Basically, feeding the regulatory capture system.

I can't use the︎ regular banking system to wire transfer USD 1.8M to my supplier in that WeChat convo️ for CPUs. It's not really a lot of money for CPUs. For context, it's only‌ a few (~250) Intel Xeon CPU Max 9480 CPUs. See below.

Imagine what the bank‍ monkeys will make me go through before I can wire my own money 😳 ....now multiply⁠ that by ∞ and that's how bad they will get when it is time for⁤ me to get paid with a "profit" cry&¤ . This isn't even my worst nightmare 🙄 .
My worst nightmare is shipping it, my buyer receiving it, wiring me my money, and⁣ then my bank freezing the funds and requesting from me an "Authorized Distribution Letter" from⁢ Intel allowing me to resell their specific product stupi#21 . Bank monkeys and their legal monkeys︀ don't care about "Exhaustion of IPR and jurisprudence". In ROI terms, I would be putting︁ at risk USD 1.62M for a gain of only 10% (180K). This is madness! China︂ knows ALL this. 😉

By the way, Intel and its assigns can do much much worse,︃ but no need to write a horror story so early in the new year. You︄ get the point.

If you really want to know more or want me to explain︅ more, shoot me a DM.
 
Same, in person the maximum I say that yes I heard‍ about crypto but I don't follow it. While the truth is I'm likely longer in⁠ it than anyone I ever met 😀 Unbelievable how many people openly discuss it in pubs⁤ and parties.

I start to understand it, this⁢ was a very insightful post thank you so much for it!
