Paxos accidentally mints more than twice the global GDP in PayPal stablecoins

Paxos accidentally mints more than twice the global GDP in PayPal stablecoins
Paxos, the issuer of PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin, accidentally minted 300 trillion of the supposedly dollar-pegged token. For context, this is approximately 2.5x the global GDP, and around 125x the total number of US dollars actually in circulation.
Paxos later announced that the mint was an "internal technical error", and that they had burned the excess tokens.
While PayPal promises its customers that "Reserves are held 100% in US dollar deposits, US treasuries and cash equivalents – meaning that customer funds are available for 1:1 redemption with Paxos," there clearly isn't much in the way of safeguards to ensure that is always the case. As with most stablecoin issuers, Paxos merely issues self-reported and unreviewed portfolio reports, and monthly third-party attestations (not audits) of reserves.

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.

SCOTUS looks ready to erase another key piece of the Voting Rights Act, this time by striking down Louisiana’s Black-majority district for “relying too much on race.” Let me translate…they’re opening the door for states to erase Black and Latino districts that usually vote blue.

the only reason the young fash used to be shy about saying this shit out loud was that we made it unacceptable for them to say this shit out loud

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.
