If I could do things over again, on today's internet, I like to believe Weird Gloop is the type of organisation we would have built rather than ending up inside Fandom's machine. I guess that's all to say: thank you Weird Gloop for achieving what we couldn't (and sorry to all who have suffered Fandom when reading about Minecraft over the years).
[1] That's a bit of a cop out, we did have options, the decision to sell was mostly driven by me being a dumb kid. In hindsight, we could have achieved independent sustainability, it was just far beyond what my tiny little mind could imagine.

For comparison Taylor Swift's album Reputation did ~500,000,000 streams in the first few weeks after it launched, granted that was available on all services and not just Tidal: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-42564917
I'm a little suspicious of the numbers, given Taylor Swift has a wider appeal than Kanye and her album was on all services but you could sign up for Tidal for free and the article is clearly wrong when it says "a claim that would have meant every subscriber played the album an average of eight times per day" so I'm inclined to say Tidal are telling the truth because if they did inflate the numbers then they would not have needed to inflate them from, say, 25 million to 250 million which is what the report seems to suggest.

The point of Tether is that for each USDT there is a corresponding USD in an account belonging to Tether. If Tether were printing USDT to keep 1 USDT valued at 1 USD then they would be violating what Tether is publicly stated to be.

Due to network congestion and manual processing,
we have closed ticket payments using
Cryptocurrencies — Hopefully, next year there
will be more unity in the community about scaling
and global adoption becomes reality.
We have, and always will, accept cryptocurrencies
for our conferences, up to fourteen days before the
event. However, due to the manual inputting of data
in our ticketing platforms when paid in cryptocurrencies,
we decided to shut down bitcoin payments for last minute
sales due to print deadlines.This is a longer article on the subject of poorer health outcomes for minorities, covering the situation for black women and one family's experience, which is very much worth reading, but here are the key points:
Statistics:
* A black woman is 22% more likely to die from heart disease than a white woman
* ...71 percent more likely to perish from cervical cancer
* ...243 percent more likely to die from pregnancy- or childbirth-related causes
Reasons:
* Black women are more likely to be uninsured outside of pregnancy, when Medicaid kicks in, and thus more likely to start prenatal care later and to lose coverage in the postpartum period.
* The hospitals where they give birth are often the products of historical segregation, lower in quality than those where white mothers deliver, with significantly higher rates of life-threatening complications.
* [Black women] are more likely to have chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension that make having a baby more dangerous.
* Black expectant and new mothers frequently told us that doctors and nurses didn’t take their pain seriously [...] numerous studies that show pain is often undertreated in black patients for conditions from appendicitis to cancer.
* An expanding field of research shows that the stress of being a black woman in American society can take a significant physical toll during pregnancy and childbirth.
* Black women are 49 percent more likely than whites to deliver prematurely (and, closely related, black infants are twice as likely as white babies to die before their first birthday).
