If they just issued the tokens to some people who promptly transferred them into BTC, that is either paying some people ridiculous executive bonuses, or a completely fucked up scam
Thank you for sharing this video. I had not seen it before.
It definitely helped fill some knowledge gaps, so please send me more links when you find them, I like information and I try to learn.
But at the end of the day, what do we have? We already knew:
Personality promoters are only looking out for themselves and are generally scammers (Unlike most, I consider Charlie Lee in this group)
Pump and dump schemes are in this space since crypto trading started and will continue
Tether is most likely a complete, elaborate scam
There is a criminal element operating in this space I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point all the “personalities” in the video will be on the Interpol list
…and generally speaking, while very well made and presented, this video would fit perfectly on CNBC or CNN
Yes, we all know all the bad stuff, we are being reminded of it every day.
What is not so obvious is the good stuff. There is real development happening in cryptos. There really is adoption and use. More interaction is happening every day between conventional and blockchain players. The best minds in coding are working on implementing real solutions, and there is progress.
I bet a great video can be made showing what has been accomplished over the past 12 months and what is expected over the next 12.
I totally agree, and will try, but I am very picky when it comes to my information, so don't expect stuff too often.
As you saw in the video, the guy who runs Bitfinex, and essentially Tether too, doesn't even believe in the cryptocurrency space, and only gives a shit about how much money he can make off it, same as John McAfee, Chuck Lee, and a myriad of other cronies to boot.
All of them will be washed away, because platforms such as Steemit are proving that cryptocurrency actually has a use case, and I suspect more like the Basic Attention Token will rise up, and show the world that some, but definitely not all coins and tokens are actually useful and worth something.
The entire Tether – Bitfinex saga is just reeking. Nothing good will come of it.
When you see shit like that you almost understand the way mainstream players react toward cryptos. On the other hand, fuck mainstream, they only have to look a little further to find good stuff, but it doesn’t suit their agendas.
Of course it doesn't, but out of all this, I believe I will be able to buy the things I want over the next year at the prices I feel good about paying.
Looks like things are not going anywhere in a hurry. You probably will have all the time to get in at your leisure.
I’m in full boat for now. Maybe as time progresses I’ll make some adjustments but I don’t think I’ll add much, at least for a while.
Thanks for this one I will watch it later at lunch. Last night I ran across a fairly large fish who had almost all posts flagged down. Naturally I went poking around. Turns out he was a big promoter.
Looks like the Steemit community in general works to keep this platform running on an ethical basis.
UPDATE
Coinmarketcap shows a Tether increase in market cap of about $80 million as of yesterday 03/23/2018
Maybe Coin Market Cap forced them to trickle it in, so as not to mess with the charts... it wouldn't be the first time.
Is then Coinmarketcap in on the whole scheme?
Coin Market Cap always manipulates the numbers, so as not to put everyone in a panic, so in a way... they are white lying to the people.

I'ma go with scam, did you watch the documentary yet:
