An alternative is using an eSIM with an “internet breakout” via another country.

Esimdb is a good place to start.

He could’ve skipped the intermediate steps and made it a one-liner by piping the sql dump over ssh right into the sqlite3 reconstruction command.

Depends what you mean by “holding” USD. Is it under your mattress? Or in a bank? Is it a bank in Venezuela or Lebanon?

Holding USDT is kind of holding USD. You just have Tether in the middle.

Main utility (value?) of stablecoins is to “bridge” USD fiat into crypto though.

Interestingly, crypto.com (exchange) keeps a “USD” balance for its customers, which is separate from its USDT balance. You can deposit/withdraw to/from your “USD” balance via fiat (bank transfer) or a basket of stablecoins like USDC, BUSD etc. Binance does this as well, and FTX before. They all kept USDT separate though. Worth considering why this is the case.

If Tether is insolvent then better to ban it earlier than later, before it becomes even “too bigger” to fail.

The other stablecoins are unaffected though…

> The Supreme Court asked them to block the delivery of content inside of Brazil, for brazilians in Brazil's territory.

If you read the article it’s saying the court is asking Facebook to block delivery of certain content globally, not only within Brazil. And they are threatening a local Facebook employee with criminal liability, which is the reason Facebook says it has complied with the order while appealing it.

The Brazilian Supreme Court is asking Facebook to block accounts globally, not only in Brazil.

He’s probably saying these are free apps which Apple doesn’t take any money for, and the money the developers keep are from ads or fees from clients and so on.
