I think it is using both, and Ethereum erc20 too. See here: https://tether.to/tether-update/
What excites me most about this update is the following:
âTether on Trezor
The Omni Layer team has also been working with the TREZOR development community to complete the integration for Tether USD and other Omni on Bitcoin-based assets with the TREZOR hardware wallet. Compatibility and release announcements will be forthcoming.â

Agreed. Tether (Omni token, so MAID too) on lightning also sounds great. I donât see a date on the post though, so not even sure when it was from.

I heard: Tether is hoarded by Bitfinex. For months, they donât have banks. So Bitfinex says USD = Tether. But the world outside disagree. And Tether page says their banks are blocked by USA.
If Bitfinex has most Tether then Tether is âBitfinex Coin.â
Can we trust Tether after that?

On coinmarketcap I see now at nr 23 USDT, ~2.2B total, with a mention of BTC and OMNI and not of Ether (like e.g. ERC20 Golem) or Litecoin.
So I assume that those 2.2B are only on OMNI layer on Bitcoin.
And in case of OMNI on Litecoin or ERC20 USD tethers, that these will have another entry on coinmarketcap.
EDIT: https://wallet.tether.to/transparency â So 2,6% on ERC20, the rest on OMNI/Bitcoin. Nothing on Litecoin. Also GitHub - OmniLayer/omnicore-lite-deprecated: Omni Core on Litecoin was last updated in april last year, so that effort seems to be abandoned (for now).

I agree and so does Warren Buffett: âWide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing.â
I have a friend who has been investing in crypto long before me. He has made a killing, yet he doesnât really understand even how blockchain works in terms of its core technology. He also doesnât understand that BTC has failed in terms of its oringinal purpose, and is now just a clunky storage system of value. Anyone can make money. It takes people with vision the make a new world.

Iâve been working recently on a song about the Safenet. How dare you call me a fanatic, sir!

Yeah itâs good to market now so that we can get more app devs and investors to make the MaidSafe community big & healthy

Feels like high and mighty groups just donât believe that safenet is possible and might see people parroting the claims that maidsafe shows is possible, which makes naysayers target the so-called plebs who seem like they donât know what they are talking about except for a perceived hype-claiming. Or the price is low and the last 50-100 or more replies are based around groundless fluffy fud and barely even exist as a weight of merit. âHaha this sect actually thinks a 99% more efficient and effective technology can exist. And it can reboot itself after a calamity??? Hahahahahahahahahaha. Cue beta. Oh shitâŚâ

Was reading the story about David and Goliath. How cleverness and doing things different than what is the norm can overthrow an much stronger (perceived) opponent. I see many similarities here with our David (the beautiful cult we are! haha 
)
That makes me like that we are dropped out of the top 100 spot. While it seems that it is a bad thing I do find comfort in it. I am a long term investor. When the crypto scene starts to get taken down by governments (imo when not if) then flying low could be a blessing - much bigger fish to fry than maidsafe. This is very dangerous technology that is being built here.
What makes me personally weather through these âstormsâ of greed mania of wanting more more more is that even though I strongly believe maidsafe can and will deliver I do not put all my portfolio into maidsafe. Only a portion of it. I think a good part of the agitation in this topic throughout last couple of years comes from people being overinvested in maidsafe and that brings a lot of internal tension when the market does not yet reflect the same enthusiasm as the maidsafe investors feel. That is why I will keep on recommending people here that even though this is a remarkable project do not put all your money into it.

I do find it all rather amusing, the people so concerned about mkt cap.
Once the network is live, iirc, no one will truly know how many coins are in existance anyway.

Now im buying some nice cheap tokens again, with cmc spot 90 its becoming an bargain. Just hard to track the progress the weekly pappers are pretty technical, so no idea what the roadmap is for launch now but i doubt it will be 2018 while we actually expected it to launch in 2017.
I think it will drop much further. Back to 30 cents a piece. Whales are bored of it.

Yea i believe so aswell i putted order up down, i think many people are bored with it thats why it dropped to cmc spot 90
People see the big gains on the early coins and are basicly playing the get rich fast game, but eventually innovation will win and will get what is deserve, but i think many still see maidsafe as vaporware. âi know people gonna attack thisâ

Most coins are red. BTCâs arse is falling out even. Another week or two and the whole thing will pump again. Sad really.
Testing the new blood, we all knew that an correction would happen, but we are all still sad about it
I think we are close to the reversal level, a lot people expect 8k thats why i think it will not come there.
Will the whales allow people to buy in that cheap idk. I bought back today btc at 9400 and pretty happy with this level.
Although most coins are red a lot did have a nice rally before that happened.
Iâm really struggling with buying Maidsafe at the moment, Iâm only looking for $50 worth.
Poloniex has had me in review for 3 weeks, Bittrex doesnât accept new users and shafeshift says âcurrently unavailableâ next to Maidsafecoin. Does anyone know the best (and fastest) way to buy it?

Okay, so what Iâm doing is buying Etherium on Coinbase (where I already have an account) and sending it to Cryptopia to trade for MSC.
