    Apparently tether printed 1,500,000,000 USDT a couple days ago, backed by nothing at all, which is being used to buy other crypto like bitcoin. Wouldn’t this devalue those other coins? I don’t get how they can just pull that money out of thin air.

    • If they printed a massive chunk of money to buy Bitcoin, wouldn’t that push Bitcoin higher?nb
    • Yeah but then the bitcoin market is propped up by fake money, kind of making it worthless? If i were a crypto “bank” i wouldn’t cash out anything bought w USDTscarabin
    • or is it because the stable coins bind worth to fiat currency...they probably think they can do they same as a central bank. and those are fighting back.uan
