Now transparency is one of the most important components

Now I'm wondering if USDC reserves exist. Otherwise, this story could happen again with Circle.

Transparency is the need of the hour.

People just have to learn to choose the right things, that's all. I chose Bitfinex as my main trading platform and have no problems at all. It's the same with crypto.

⛳️⛳️⛳️⛳️⛳️⛳️⛳️⛳️ GBTC != Btc They leveraged with the money to make more money. People wake up!
