This SHOULD be scary, unless we admit that Tether is just fake internet money representing how much the exchange owes you.
That means that these BTC gains are real. In real life if you bought stocks with "fake money" you might risk losing them. In crypto it doesn't matter as long as you take your shit off the exchange before shit hits the fan.
They must be pretty desperate. Printing new Tethers every day now.
kek
John Miller
120000 BTC gone last year... Yes, they are fucking desperate.
Dylan Bennett
It somewhat amusing how we completly move past the fact that dollars and euro's are at least as fake as this shit
Parker Cox
Every time bitcoin goes up, people sell btc at a higher value for more tether. So more tether has to be minted to meet the demand.

>it doesn't matter as long as you take your shit off the exchange before shit hits the fan. hmm, where have i heard this type of thing before oh right, every "i know it's a ponzi but i'm smart enough to get out in time" retard who lost his money says this
Exchanges love it since they don't have to comply with big rules when dealing with USD.
Juan Myers
this tether is just virtual FIAT they work like a bank, they act like a bank will they fuck us like a bank?
Jace Thompson
That what they want u to believe
Christopher Morales
SO they buy from their own user?
Eli Hernandez
You cannot change the supply of tethers without changing the price. If the price of tether changes from 1usd significatly no one would ever use it again
Parker Barnes
Possibly, but there ain't no FDIC to save you a starting chunk of change if they go under.
Alexander Brown
That's only a small percentage of volume
John Lopez
30m isnt that much. there is alot of money in the world. 30m is only a small percentage of the bitcoin market cap or even all alts combined
Leo Clark
Market cap ≠ Input money
Adrian Foster
Lmao what a scam, what a fucking glorious scam
Evan King
at this rate were going 1bn tethers by december, kek. theyre banking on cme to bail them out
Benjamin Ramirez
We're gonna get GOX'D again aren't we?
Jordan Bennett
go watch any large volume exchange. 30m is literally nothing. they see 600m+ volume a day.
Caleb Jenkins
>exchanges love being bent over a barrel by shady-ass bitfinex I doubt that
Christopher Morales
Exchanges wouldn't exist without tether, because supporting USD is too expensive and regulation is too tight.
