      I think I looked at what tether was recently. I was like what is it. because someone said you can get it to buy crypto. so I looked. and I think I found the same. that it was backed by "nothing" "debt lent out to people as a gurentee" but who where those lendies. "who ever they deemed safe to them" I was like umm no this doesn't seem very good

Then you have these crypto scammers eroding your coins while the US government erodes the value of the dollar which is what all these cryptos are based off of. Also its unlikely the US government will crash the dollar to zero while the same can't be said about these crypto exchanges and coin developers just running with your money.

      yes there are some shady things going on...
      even more so on the fiat currency side.
      BTC is digital gold. LTC is digital silver.... (faster and more liquid). ETH is distributed finance and cloud contracts.
      The USD has the "woke" military and oil (major commodities) behind it.
      There are other stable coins that could replace Tether ...they seem to be more honest (not difficult).
      Tether may well cause another BTC/Crypto winter - yet it always recovers.

    I've been on a 'To Catch A Predator' binge watch recently, and there are some STARK similarities between the statement of Bitfinex and Tether being owned by the same people to an excuse one of the predators made.
    Right off the bat, he came in and said 'I'm here to meet Adriana... she's twenty-two.' Completely unprompted! Just blurts out 'SHE'S TWENTY TWO' because in his mind he has to insert that into the conversation somewhere because it's a flat-out lie and he has to get the truth covered up fast. That EXACT same cadence, the same hesitation, the same 'inserting something nobody goddamn asked about' happened in that statement.
    'We're owned by the same people but we're not affiliated or anything like that... dollars are all there'.
    DOLLARS ARE ALL THERE.
    He just blurted that shit out immediately, unprompted, because he's LYING and needs to 'subtly' insert it into the conversation somewhere. Just like a predator blurting out 'she was twenty two' even though it makes no sense to bring that up right there and then.

      Anyway I remember the interaction you referenced, it stuck with me too and you're spot on!
      They just couldn't wait, they needed that info out, it was in the front of their mind as it was their prepared lie. So they just spit it out, unprompted, without realising that just draws more attention to their deception.
      I'm not a body/speech analysis diehard, I think it's much less certain that some people think and everyone is different... But that just seems like such a enormous tell, something innocent people would not do.

      Tether wasn't supposed to be any of they. Tether was supposed to be a trusted place to (indirectly) transfer actual cash between people buying and selling crypto currencies. If Tether actually refuses withdrawals (rather than having small print allowing them to refuse withdrawals), it's as big a problem as if a large bank did the same.
      Now the problem is that some shady people got involved, not that Tether was ever meant to be an inflated coupon.

    just the way Potter ways “dollars are all there” is a huge red flag, not “all the tether is secured by dollars” or “the dollars are there in our vault” or even “THE dollars are all there” - just “dollars are all there” classic sign of lying, vague indefinite statements, yes dollars are there in the world but are they in your vault securing tether???
