For all the western T-bill stablecoin operators and on-off ramp gateway founders I've chat with, they seem unaware that the overlap between USDT and USDC is less than 3%.

"Designers of CBDCs have foreclosed on this option, opting to continue levying a large, stealthy, regressive tax on their citizens. They have done so to protect banks and their own finance, both of whom have long benefited from this privilege." ft.com/content/7ad330…
"To the extent the Doomsters have impact, their net effect will be to place the national security types in charge, or at least to raise their influence. And how do they think that is going to work out (on their own terms)?"marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…

If Europe stopped importing Russian energy, what would happen? Energy exports (blue) pay for imports of goods (red) & services (orange). Without FX reserves to cushion the blow, imports would stop, recession would deepen massively & war in Ukraine would be far harder to sustain.
@least_nathan My dad personally helped over a dozen families migrate from Russia to Canada. In the last few days, many of them participated in pro-Ukraine rallies.
