At the core of this phenomenon lies the unique ability of modern language models for hyper-personalization...

USDT as a Tool for Global Control: How Tether Turned a Stablecoin into a Mechanism for Freezes and Why Bitcoin Remains the Only Way Out
With a market capitalization of approximately $186 billion, USDT has become the digital dollar for millions of users worldwide. However, few consider that the token's issuer can freeze funds at a specific address at any time — and regularly does so.
In the last six months alone, Tether has blacklisted 2,362 addresses on the Ethereum and TRON networks, blocking $1.64 billion on them. Such decisions usually target hackers and scammers, but the very possibility of a freeze means that even on a non-custodial wallet, the holder does not fully control the tokens...
