Tether's Sovereign Empire, Collapsing Bank Barriers, & AI Bots Using BTC
The Final Settlement podcast explores recent Tether developments, Bitcoin's price action around 70K, and the disconnect between crypto access and understanding among mainstream users. The hosts discuss why the crypto market is still in early stages despite widespread access, referencing negative reactions to Coinbase's Super Bowl commercial as evidence of continued skepticism among retail investors.
