🪙❌🐙Tether’s USDT Faces Potential Delisting From Kraken’s Platform Within 2 Months

In a move that could have significant implications for the global cryptocurrency market, the US-based crypto exchange Kraken is “actively reviewing” plans, including removing support for Tether’s USDT stablecoin within the European Union (EU).

The potential delisting comes as the EU prepares to implement a new regulatory framework, Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), set to take effect in July. According to a Bloomberg report, the upcoming EU rules are expected to impact USDT, the world’s most-traded cryptocurrency.

🌐 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 As Russia Advances, NATO Considers Sending Trainers Into Ukraine | NYT

📝 Patrick Fox: "This type of military incrementalism is how nations walk themselves into wars. If Gen. Brown's instincts are correct here, it's the wedge to force direct NATO involvement."

"Remember when I told you all the other day the West doesn't have a plan? This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. If NATO is going to involve itself in the Russo-Ukrainian War, that is the last type of decision that should be made in fits and starts. It should be deliberate; done with a clear understanding of methods, means, and objectives involved."

"There are ways NATO could involve itself more seriously in Ukraine, I've written about them. Doing it haphazardly is a recipe for disaster."

"It's not like we haven't seen this before either:

"Non-Combat" Trainers leads to;

Trainers actually in combat leads to;

Aircraft to support trainers & the units they're attached to leads to;

Security formations to protect the bases the aircraft supporting the trainers operate from leads to;

Full blown US combat operations in country."

"While the circumstances are certainly not 1-to-1 in the above example and I'm abbreviating the sequence of events significantly - the parallels are becoming uncomfortably similar. This is also an example of why I so consistently harp on studying history. Understand what happened before and you'll have a better handle on what comes next."

"Yes, I just described, again in a very truncated fashion, US involvement escalation in Vietnam."

☢️ 🇺🇸 👨‍💻 Amazon recently bought a data center campus in Pennsylvania that is powered by a nuclear power plant.

Here's the crazy part:

🔶️ This campus alone will draw 1/3 of it's total nuclear capacity (which is the 6th largest power plant in the US).

🔶️ Still can't believe how Big Tech is staying out of the spotlight when it comes to the insane amount of power they require for their data centers.
