bitcoin was birthed when god alien satoshi nakamoto was displeased with the current financial system, particularly the government bailouts of banks. tether is the very thing satoshi tried to fight. if you really, truly, believe in satoshi's vision and many teeth you must reject tether and kill the now corrupted bitcoin and instead by my newest icodaonft: satohi's teeth

by their own admission it's only backed by 3% cash, and the rest is ambiguous mystery funds that may or may not just be shares of their own company

idk what else you need, there's some articles on :gerard:'s site but if "the price is entirely supported by a few shifty guys who won't tell you where their money is except to tell you they don't have nearly as much as they claimed" isn't enough to put them off I don't know what else would

Reminder that tether isn't even its own crypto. It's just certain tokens on other blockchains are declared as counting as tethers too. Definitely will be super easy to gain control of that money supply if they have to actually prove reserves.

When I heard their lawyer on that poddcast zealously defending the bitfenix loan I knew what their "reserves" were. I'm sure they can always find more IOUs in a shoebox somewhere.

we here at tether and bitfinex, two separate companies that just happen to share several ceos and an address, are happy to announce that an unrelated third party company, which by some strange coincidence also shares our address and ceos, is going to come in with billions of real actual dollars and will completely 100% back tether 1:1
