Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76098766 Tether, a so-called “stablecoin” which aims to maintain a value of one US dollar per tether, has been described as the “ticking time bomb” of the cryptocurrency world which could trigger the next “bloodbath” similar to the 2014 collapse of the Mt. Gox exchange. A key critic of tether and its owner Bitfinex, a cryptocurrency exchange registered in the British Virgin Islands, is a blogger going by the handle Bitfinex’d, who has published a series of detailed blog posts, tweets and YouTube videos outlining the scheme. In effect, Bitfinex has been accused of creating tether out of thin air, without corresponding US dollar deposits, in order to pump up the price of bitcoin. While Bitfinex insists all new “USDT” are backed by real dollar deposits, new tether issuances have coincided with dips in the price of bitcoin. [link to www.news.com.au] Read the last sentence of your article. Tether is actually keeping the price of bitcoin down. I know the other day they had some Tether FUD which caused a big increase in the price of Bitcoin overseas as people were fleeing tether and purchasing bitcoin, litecoin and other stuff. |

Read my post above this one. The creation of new tethers after a pullback is to stop the decline and goose the price back upward so the tards go put more money in. |

Seriously, we've already had Tether FUD, Multi-million dollar hacks and exchanges blowing up and still the price keeps on chugging. Tether is a nothing burger. It crops up every now and then when People like Tone Vays or other twitter hacks need some clickbait. |

Nobody had ANY issue with Tether until Tone Vays decided to start calling it a scam on his YouTube videos. That's LITERALLY when it started. Guess what? The dude calls ANY coin other then BTC a "scam" LTC, any block chain start up...Ethereum...those are all "scams" according to him The reason this never got very far is because nobody who is actively aware of whats going on in the crypto space takes that guy seriously.
