RE: Tether (USDT) Explained - Is Tether a Scam?

in #boxmining7 years ago

i still don't understand .. if they are taking bitcoin for tether .. someone is doing the tether for bitcoin the other way --- i still don't fully see the scam-

lets say the coins are worth less ... and you do a tether for btc translation . where does the btc come from ? there is no way to perfectly arb out the risk and have 100 percent offset 100 percent of the time.. is there cash back holdings considered btc at times??? even then there is risk to them on one has yet to properly lay out the scheme.. ok so tether is worthless and the scam was that its worth a dollar .. i still don't see the full picture yet besides offsetting risk to other exchanges but still the other side of the trade isnt fully explained anywhere.. my 0.02 they have taken the cash and invested it in a bond or CD .. and gone fractional reserve banking with tether.. and that will continue till it doesn't .. aka when the tide goes out you see who is swimming with out a suit.
