but, here’s the twist. nug is only a shadow government, meaning it doesn’t hold any official positions in the government. reports say the group includes elected ministers who no longer hold official positions. this is following a coup by the country’s military that recently ousted myanmar’s leader aung san suu kyi. so, technically tether can’t become the official legal currency of myanmar. fyi, the myanmar government banned all digital currencies in 2020. 😞
