🇺🇸 Unwinding Tether, Celsius & the US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve (Ep. 50)

Show Notes

Welcome to the 50th episode of BitcoinHardTalk! 🎉 In this milestone episode, Simon Dixon explores the most controversial and complex issues surrounding Tether, Celsius, and the U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. This week, Tether, the world's largest stablecoin, is embroiled in a lawsuit from victims of the Celsius Ponzi scheme. Simultaneously, the U.S. Department of Justice is holding 95,000 Bitcoins, seized from the 2016 Bitfinex hack, which rightfully belong to Bitfinex shareholders. In a surprising twist, Trump’s Republican Party suggests using these Bitcoins as a strategic reserve asset, while the Biden administration quietly sells them off in batches of 10,000 Bitcoin at a time. Confused? 🤯 Don’t worry—Simon Dixon breaks down this chaotic series of events, offering insights on what it all means for the future of Bitcoin. 🚨 Want to catch up on previous episodes?
