One thing i noticed, the FBI mentioned Thorswap in that doc, its the only on-chain quick atomic swap -> guessing that's going to become a target next.
Seems like they don't understand that Thorswap is just a frontend aggregator (which also integrates Uni, Chainflip etc). I still can't believe that JP (the founder of THORChain) publicly outed himself earlier this year doh948""
 
I’ve been doing some research over the past few days on all of this, and my conclusion is that BTC is the coin to focus on. Its volatility means that you should only invest money in it that you won’t need in the immediate future, otherwise, you risk finding yourself in a difficult financial situation.

I do wonder where people have been living when I come across comments like this over a decade later

you can address vola by position size.
 
One point i'll make the Treasury released a presentation arguing for making private stablecoins involving the $ illegal in favour of a CBDC based on 'risk' of the underlying

Unsure what impact that will have, i.e if they do that, i imagine overseas someone will create a new stablecoin much like the Eurodollar was made, much like USDT initially but completely protect it self from the off from the US directly and indirectly so it can't be indicted/sued for initial failings (hence USDT proximity to the US these days to cover their asses).
 
One could also use good old cash combined with futures for price fixing but that would imply a fair amount of footwork.
There’s enough diversification opportunities on chain to advert issues

Besides only the plebs really withdraw everything for companies it’s easier to keep on chain for accounting

Can you please explain in what way to use futures?

Well we see that there are few stablecoins to trust here. Any other solutions?

There's tonnes of stuff out there from HKD, AED, SGD, CHF stablecoins... most track USD anyway (i.e HKD, AED, SGD debase and strengthen inline with the $) and CHF generally is stable against it as they are all proxies for the Dollar.

You then have treasuries on chain etc, gold on chain etc... and even non USD USD stablecoins (i.e not US firms or holding US Funds in US accounts/treasuries) but either proxies $ in overseas banks (offshore) or similar set ups.

The only reason USDT/USDC is successful is because its so liquid and it's basically American or protected somewhat by rule of law in the US.

Once those are banned you'll see the EURODOLLAR equivalent of explode.

That will be the ones mentioned above or even things like what ever is replacing DAI, the world wants Dollars, and even if the US bans it in the US others will find a way to provide the market with what it wants without the US having jurisdiction, just like the EuroDollar market, the US has no say on this and can't dictate when they are not using US financial institutions
 
yeah this. Plus a few "patterns" around this whole thing resemble past events (which I wont wanna go further into on a public forum, but its all public and one can come to the necessary conclusions by freely available material).

Usually it goes on smoothly until suddenly the music stops playing.
