persistent rumor, but one day in the distant future; they’ll possibly accept some cryptocurrencies. interesting side note - amazon did help fund the zerocash protocol.

Excerpt- Earlier this week, Monex Inc, the company that recently acquired Coincheck, revealed plans to expand the exchange to the U.S., claiming that the U.S. and Europe are more advanced than Japan in terms of regulatory clarity and “attracting institutional investors” to crypto.
Did they? Do you have a link to the initial investors?

Yeah, that’s not surprising…Jeff Bezos has often talked about “making too much money” to the point that he legitimately has a hard time spending it. You make $50 million per day…you run out of things to spend it on pretty quick (while remaining within the bounds of the law and not simply throwing it away).
To that end, he and Amazon put funding out for virtually any legitimate request for research and development funding regarding technology.
The DARPA contribution isn’t surprising either…the Head of Strategy (SVP, #2) at DASH was a DARPA and DOD director for years before crypto also.
The first story, @kek tell your mom!

Awesome, Bitmain funded USDT competitor. That won’t be controversial at all.

probably a waste of time… imo, US mint will be deploying a dollar token within the next year or two.
Its really just another pairing, which is good for trading, it just seemed pertinent given the current affairs (someone on the OTHER thread didnt like it)

@kek @Autotunafish Unfortunately, I am thinking this will not be a good thing for the market. Historically, direct conflicting competition for pairs have not been a good thing for crypto. The BTC/BCH schism is believed to have set back overall crypto adoption efforts years. USDT (love it or hate it) is one of the highest traded crypto out there. Competition in crypto is good, but direct conflict creates division and confusion which has already demonstrated to be bad for crypto.
tbh, don’t care about USDT or any other stable coin. US mint will be offering the real deal in the coming years. won’t be bad for ZEC because USD will still be an inflationary pos, and thiers law is valid.

Its an experimental, optional, inexpensive, anti-censorship measure that can apply to cryptocurrencies and lends itself particularly well to Zcash (I think thats what it is anyways!)
