Paolo Ardoino Invokes Asimov’s Foundation in Tether Infrastructure Keynote

Paolo Ardoino used a Plan ₿ Forum keynote in Lugano to cast Tether as a long-term infrastructure builder, invoking Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series as a frame for the company’s role. The 45-minute address took place Oct. 24 from 5 to 5:45 a.m. ET (9 to 9:45 a.m. UTC) under the title “Tether – A Psychohistory Implementation.” Ardoino captioned the post accompanying the video: “Tether: a psychohistory interpretation. My latest keynote.” The remarks offered a broad infrastructure framing for Tether. Separately, the company’s USD₮ is a dollar-pegged stablecoin, while its QVAC SDK and Lugano memorandum are examples of other existing work.
