This is the thing I find surprising, too. It seems every time this topic comes up, a bunch of goons shout it down and joke about kiddie porn and drugs and bubbles. But it just keeps climbing and more and more legitimate uses are appearing as well. I have nothing invested other than believing the goon speak. But at this point, I wish I had just bought some or mined some on a lark and not listened to all the people who didn't do the same. Because I would have made a pretty decent amount of money for very little work.

I think at this point that is how a lot of you feel. You could have made some $$$ but didn't so now you are invested in saying it's bad rather than admitting you were wrong. It still may play out as a huge stupid scam but as time goes by, it is starting to look more and more real.

Ask yourself, if you had invested $100 in 10 bitcoins a few years back, would you have? I mean knowing what you do now?

25780. I am going to demand sub-25k and it has to stay there for at least twelve hours before I hold my "crypto is burning" party. I know that's moving the goal posts a bit, but given how unstable things are, there can be some wild momentary dips that are quickly spackled with Monopoly money.

FTX/Alameda is a direct customer of Tether - if Tether is redeemable, they should be able to make an easy arbitrage profit on this. Moving actual dollars around isnt instant though.

Looks like this did happen, Tether had about $1B in redemptions today and these guys probably made a ton of money on the trade:

Every $ that is redeemed gets Tether a little closer to the harder-to-liquidate or non-existant assets.... :munch:

When I read these things, I read them like they invested $450,000 and lost it.

Not that they put in $100, saw it go up to $450,000, then it tanked.

Am I correct?

I think it is more that they put in $100, it went up to $50k, so they thought “to the moon!” And dumped in another 400k taking out all sorts of shaky loans and home equity.

Tether claims that they back every dollar's worth of Tether with an actual US dollar. The scam is that this is a lie and they've actually been fined by the US government over it.
