we have gone around and around on this topic but I still don’t really understand your reasoning.
I am totally with you that Tether is shady and I wish it didn’t exist. If Tether is shown to be a fraud though why would that make the price of all crypto‘s and bitcoin crash?
Stable coins like tether are used to facilitate moving fiat currency into cryptocurrency. people will just use another one. if you already used your fraudulent tether to buy bitcoin then you wouldn’t have to do anything in this scenario, just keep holding the bitcoin.
so I’m just missing the mechanism why tether being a fraud means everything is a house of cards?
tethers are used by exchanges to create fake demand for crypto, along with each exchange tokens. It really costs nothing to BitFinex to print as many USDT as they want.
any market is balance between buyer and sellers. Remove 70% of “buyers” (stable coins), what do you think will happen with the underlying asset price???
