Speculations Around Tether Energy

This post has triggered speculations in the minds of many netizens and Tether community members. It has forced many tabloids to ask questions like “Is the site real?”, Did Paolo really photoshopped the logo on a container and many more. In response to all of these questions, the Tether CTO has offered an explanation.

Four months ago, Tether, the protocol behind United States dollar-pegged stablecoin USDT announced its decision to invest in energy production and sustainable Bitcoin mining by launching Tether Energy in Uruguay. At the time, this was a major effort towards Bitcoin (BTC) as the company had earlier revealed plans to acquire BTC for stablecoin reserve.

Consequently, Tether collaborated with a local licensed company to commence the BTC mining activities. As part of the announcement, Ardoino noted that the mining operations will be carried out while leveraging cutting-edge technologies, sustainable practices as well as financial innovation. The focus is to utilize renewable energy sources to minimize the carbon footprint of mining in addition to generally preserving and sustaining the environment.

Tether chose Uruguay due to the existing infrastructure for renewable energy in the country. A very significant amount of the energy utilized in the South American nation is from renewable sources owing to the abundance of natural resources in the region. 

Tether Energy is Coming to Latin America

Since Tether Energy launched in May, the company has been pursuing partnerships with entities that have “solid local connections, outstanding and passionate personnel and that demonstrate deep respect for the environment,” per Ardoino’s explanation. 

Furthermore, he clarified that the controversial photo is real and it shows one of the control rooms which is still being worked on but is billed to commence operations soon in Latin America. 

The Tether CTO did not give out any other details about the specific location of the site, instead he shared a 3D clip to help emphasize his claim.

Shiba Inu Price on Black Friday 2023

Image
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has become one of the most prominent meme-inspired cryptocurrencies since its launch in August 2020. The developers behind the decentralized token have worked to build an ecosystem of projects for the SHIB community. However, the recent launch of the layer-2 solution Shibarium failed to significantly boost prices amid the ongoing crypto bear market. With Thanksgiving approaching, here is our Shiba Inu price prediction for Black Friday 2023. What is Shiba Inu? A Brief History Shiba Inu is a decentralized cryptocurrency that spawned from a meme-inspired online community. The token’s mascot is a Shiba Inu dog, which led to the name. In mid-2020, an anonymous individual or group known as Ryoshi started working on Shiba Inu as an experimental decentralized community project. Ryoshi intended to take the meme coin concept behind Dogecoin and build an ecosystem around it. Also read: Ben Armstrong Sues Ex-Colleagues Over Alleged Stolen Lamborghini After launch...

This is what a Trump capital gains tax  could look like

President Biden recently made a stir with his latest budget proposal, which included several provisions that alarmed investors. The first and arguably most important for anyone involved with the stock market is the proposed new and increased capital gains tax. Under the plan, the rate would reach its highest since the tax was established in 1913 at a maximum of 44.6%. The proposal immediately proved controversial, given how it compares to the original maximum of 7% and the 1921 Revenue Act maximum of 12.5%. It is also substantially higher than the rate set during former President Trump’s term when it was reformed not to exceed 20%.
