P.S. On the one hand, it is quite right to show users who are under sanctions. But on the other hand, is this about decentralization?
So you are saying that it's right for Tether to act as an agency of the US government.
You say it's right for an international currency issued by a private company - which isn't even a US company - to serve the interests of one single government and of one single country (the most powerful one).
The international crypto community ass-liking the US government and their USD
But you care about decentralisation
Using an international cryptocurrency as an instrument of US gov politics is ok,
centralization/decentralization, that's the big issue for you
So between coin A that doesn't serve the interests of any specific country and coin B that does, B is better as long as it's more decentralised than A
Between coin A that helps people to overcome the problem of the devaluation of their national currency and coin B that is used to enslave and tyrannise,
crypto people prefer B because... hey, it's decentralised!
and anonymous!
no KYC!
Cool!
