The truth is these dumb niggers think that because the tether market cap isnt the same as bitcoin market cap, then there is no correlation.
They claim BTC/USD is the pair that makes the price, but it’s actually BTC/USDT. Tether has ties to CCP, which also owns 65% of all bitcoin miners.

Now we're in 2021 and there are $25b tethers. If this hasn't been backe dup by real deposits, then there's only $1.5b in loans to bitfinex backing the other 90% of the crypto market. This bomb is going to explode.

Ah yes, squiggly line, the famous CEO willing to put his reputation and career at stake.

Lets play around with this though. Even IF Tether really did have this amount stored with the bank for longer than the day this letter way written, why not just get an audit? And if nobody will audit you, as you claim, why not just be open and transparent? The CEO and CTO have disappeared, there are no headquarters, and the CFO spends all day on Twitter replying to Whale Alert tweets of $500,000,000 tether prints as "this is normal demand". Why not just state which assets are backing Tether, if you claim to have $25b in backing, rather than obfuscating everything with "loans to affiliated entities" and other such non-language? Just say you have x cash, x btc and x loans to Bitfinex aka yourselves?

Nobody needs the price and liquidity at this point. Especially to jump ship (to what if everything is going to 'go back to the stone age') You've had new ATH every few days with ample opportunity to sell. It isn't like there is anybody here saying "oh shit another 1k and I'll finally be green and can dump these bags". Anybody sat on 100+ BTC will have been holding since it was cheap and any exit at this point is a good exit with 100+.

The reason why people are like this is because crypto is in part a philosophy. It touches upon post/trans humanism, accelerationism, dystopian concepts, privacy, security state etc etc. Things get pretty fucking weird which is why it can be so cringe. People desperately want to see fiat inflate into infinity and crypto scale into infinity bringing about some 40k citadel compound shit. Bunch of losers who aren't making it in the real world so want the world to match the fantasy in their heads and think they'll get there by staring at a computer and clicking on a screen 24 hours a day (like fucking usual).

I'll explain to you Bitfinex's position here because you seem to be mentally challenged.

Bitfinex purchases a certain # of a crypto like ETH or Bitcoin, then they flood exchanges with USDT liquidity when they need to pump that coin. As that coin pumps, they 2-3x their position and start unloading that coin. They did that with ETH the past 2 weeks, notice their cold wallet and how ETH starts crabbing when they start offloading and taking cash value:
