Fiat-backed stablecoins have now passed Norway in US govt debt holdings according to my rough estimate, thanks to an increase in stablecoin issuance combined with a decrease in debt holdings by Norway from Jan-24 to Feb-24.

Now that AT&T has lost all our social security numbers in a data breach, this is a great time for regulators to NOT ask what they should have done to secure it better, but why the phone company needed your SSN in the first place.

The one legitimate argument for bitcoin imo Fiat currency comes with certain strings attached to its usage. If you think that over time, governments will impose more rules on how you’re allowed to use dollars, people may want an option without a middleman.
I’m not a Bitcoin $BTC guy. Sell me. I admittedly don’t know a ton about it. What’s the best, most understandable, way to sell someone on $BTC? Because I have yet to be sold. And “endless hours of research” is not an acceptable answer here. Looking for simple and easy.

While I still prefer the US & G7 simply seize the $300B immobilized Russian sovereign assets, the apparent USG formula to take many years worth of interest earnings on the principal and use it for Ukraine is plenty good - $52B worth - if consensus can be reached. @ACGeoEcon
There's more than one option on Russia's blocked assets. The White House idea is to pull forward future interest earnings. Our team @ACGeoEcon calculated it would mean over $52 billion for Ukraine next year. That's more than half of Ukraine's expenditures in 2024:
