Isn't it curious that he writes a lengthy post about frauds made possible with the current banking system (trust-based reserve) and then doesn't find any use for cryptocurrency?

This is exactly the reason why Bitcoin was invented; its supply is mathematical and can't be over-inflated. Satoshi even included the criticism in the Bitcoin's Genesis block: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".

Obviously Tether (or any private stablecoin like Libra) is even worse than a regulated fiat currency, and should be strictly illegal.
