Consider that the dumbest person you know is repeatedly being told 'you are absolutely right' by an LLM.
Pretty neat dashboard tracking stablecoin censorship:
stables.rip — On-chain stablecoin censorship tracker
Real-time tracking of frozen stablecoin addresses across Ethereum and TRON. USDT and USDC freeze intel, wallet checker, and censorship analytics.
