Tether Quadruples Printing Press Speed, Prints $100 Million Per Day
The Bitfinex/Tether Danger is Very Much Still Present...
Tether is still printing, full speed ahead...despite the fact the price of Bitcoin has dropped from 15k-18k to the 10k-12k range, the speed of the Tether printing presses have quadrupled in rate. While over $325 million was printed in the entire month of November 2017...now Tether has managed to print $500 million...in 5 days. (And much more than that on other days.)
Now, there are over $2.2 billion Tether is circulation.
This is NOT "demand."
These are NOT institutional investors depositing money into Bitfinex/Tether, because there's NO way they would be printing a fixed amount each day to "meet demand." Really? Exactly $100 million of new deposits per day, huh?
The danger of a massive, quick collapse in Crypto is growing daily. Tether recognizes their part in the cherade, and changed their legalese to say that Tethers are redeemable...except in cases where they deem it not possible, fraud, questionable, immoral, illegal, etc., etc...(i.e., for any reason they want)...
...and, from my understanding, it's also not possible to redeem in the U.S...
(Kind of weird and ironic that you can't redeem Tethers, backed by the U.S. Dollar, in the country that issues it...no?)
This has smelled fishy for a long time...and the stench is getting worse.
Crypto has a bright future. Tether and Bitfinex...do not.
Get your coins out of Tether and Bitfinex ASAP.

Awww, man! A little fractional Reserve banking never hurt anyone!
What pisses me off most is that any collapse caused by Bitfinex/Tether will be used as an excuse to regulate the hell out of it...
Typical government for ya....
Hey, why doesn't some hacker end this stupid scheme b4 it gets bigger? It might not take much of a loss to burst Tether's fractional reserve bubble.
