    Skip ad. Bitcoin is pumped through ridiculous leverage and printing of “stable” coins like tether. The scam hasn’t unraveled yet, but that doesn’t mean it won’t.

      Do you know that Tether and Bitcoin are different things? Because it seems like you don’t.

        People defending Binance and Tether are either:

        • Clueless and haven’t done any research
        • Brainwashed
        • Part of the Binance/Tether cartel
        • Paid to do it
        • Lying to themselves
        • Aware of the truth, but want their bags to continue to be propped up by fraudsters

        Which one are you?

          IDGAF about Tether, IMO it will collapse one day, and the world will be better for it. It’s a currency whose basis is “trust me bro”.
