yup China had some problems with the exchanges and people switched to BTS, it's no solution, but at least there is something doing Tether better than Tether, sadly unless you market to people not many stumble upon such gems, that chain has been working for years and I don't understand why people are blaming Dan for anything, he built a solid concept, systems are never awesome because they are run by people and we never amount to much but hey :D it sure beats having no say.
For the US I'm not sure what if anything has changed, hopefully people just realise their media has become a scandal, they've been shooting their foot with in lots of places, let's just hope they stop escalating conflicts around the globe. I have to say Americans are good people too, but like in most places someone comes along and sweeps the rug under you :D
