Keynote: Tether A Psychohistory Implementation | Bitcoin 2026
What if a stablecoin company was actually building the foundation for civilization? In this Bitcoin Conference talk, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino borrows from Isaac Asimov's Foundation to explain why Tether is investing in Bitcoin, peer-to-peer protocols, self-custodial wallets, and decentralized AI. He breaks down the open-source Resilience Stack: Hole Punch, Keet, WDK, and QVAC SDK and why 4 billion unbanked people are at the heart of the mission.
