Thats the thing, tether could have printed small amounts like 10m per week to avoid attention.

But they are now printing 100m to 200m PER DAY. They know they are fucked and no longer care if it attracts attention.

Also, I'm thinking if for some reason a lot of people want to get out of the market, they convert their coins to tether and then convert the USD.
