What are your thoughts on Saifedean Ammous's presentation at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference on tether and stablecoins, and coming to the conclusion that on net, they will only result in ~3 trillion dollar's of new debt purchasing vs the 10 to 30 trillion you've forecasted?

OMG - another absolute BANGER from the man himself, Arthur Hayes. Arthur ALWAYS entertains and NEVER disappoints about the brutally harsh #fiat system we all live in today.

Newbie question: why would LATAM&Cie go USDT rather than full bitcoin given USD’s comparative dilution? They could go USDT solely for their entry/exit point to BTC - when no alternative.

Nice writeup with interesting targets.

I think the story makes sense. Europeans are clearly nervous about US Stablecoin efforts too:

"EU speeds up plans for digital euro after US stablecoin law"

Those multiples are crazy, but they sure build up a nice narrative. The stablecoin space will be one of the hottest areas to compete on. Unless Tether and co start sharing their yields on t-bills, they may face some headwinds soon.

Interest rates falling will also challenge incumbents.
