> $100M is a huge amount in these shallow markets.

Is it? What are your sources?




Coinlib says USD trading volume today was $193M vs $5.2B in 3%-backed ersatz dollars (USDT). So that's 60% of a day's entire trading volume globally.

I very much doubt the USistan racketeer will demand its dues to be paid in full the day after tomorrow.

I also very much doubt that selling USD 100M worth of crypto over the course of a couple of months will have any sizable effects on the markets.


Especially when you’ve got companies like Tesla buying $1.5B. All it takes is one more midsize corporate CFO getting redpilled and converting a chunk of the treasury into crypto.


Tesla's purchase covered about 5 weeks of miner fees. It burned up long before it was even announced.
