its called BTC went sub 10k and people bought in because they know its never realistically going to fall all that dramatically in the near future regardless of tether and bitfinex going belly up. people have way too much faith in Bitcoin since it hit 19k.

Federal courts will have jurisdiction. The Internet is a "channel of interstate commerce" per case law.

>> No.7105716

wait. what exactly happens when it is uncovered that they don't have the USD to back those tethers?

I assume people would desperately trade their tethers for less and less USD?
How would it affect the price of BTC negatively? USDT/BTC and USD/BTC would simply split into two separate prices, wouldn't they? I assume people holding USDT will even start buying BTC with it as a way to leave the sinking ship.

AFAIK Bitfinex is selling USDT and then buying Bitcoin, thus pumping the price up.

It means that everyone will try to cash out asap, which will create multiple sell walls like we have never seen in the history of mankind until we hit like 2k.

That's pretty damn close to '29 in a way; stock market bizmen would borrow money at artificially low rates, pump into assets, and collect profits, until it got to the point where the money invested wasn't real; there wasn't enough money to sustain the pump and boom, October 29th.

If it is the case that USDT can't be converted truly 1:1, Bitfinex should be closed down for good, just like government.
