Topic: Is TETHER a SCAM? (Read 306 times)
Earlier I thought it was a skam but recently they have proved they really have money on their bank accounts.
I don't think so, I think tether is a legit coin and has been in existence for a while now, they may have had some shady dealing in the past but i think it's been corrected when many people come for them to show proofs .
as for now it looks working and stable, it is a great tool and it is definitely necessary for the crypto world. What is not so clear is whether it can sustain a big market growth while maintaining its value fixed
Some of the tokens are scams since they run on a centralized software and at that the system can be manipulated by either the developer or the project owner him self. Unlike bitcoin that is highly decentralized, so scam is bound to happen.
I can't tell you their (Bitfinex) intentions when they first created Tether but I don't think it takes a genius to understand that things will go wrong, there is no way that the token value will remain unchanged at 1 USD. All it takes is an issue with the bank where they are storing the money and It's done.
Is it a convenient way to trade your coins instead of fiat that could take days? It definitely is, no one could deny that but If you're keeping them for long term storage? not suggested.

I completely agree, it all begins when people start to come to the bank for money and then the bank always has some “difficulties”, at that moment 1 USD = 1 USDT may stop working.
It feels like Tether's plan is just to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. First they issue some non-supported money and then after some market manipulations on Bitfinex they can turn it in to real cash.

Well in my own opinion, I don't think tether is a scam, if they are scam a lot of regulators would have taken them down for a long time, I think some competitors are trying to create FUD around them for their own platform to excel. No doubt tether is most dominant in the market
There is plenty of discussion on this one, Theter has gone a long way into proving the deposits but many questions like convertibility make it dubious.
Sure looks like a scam but the fact still remains that tether is the only stable coin that we have in the market right now. Even with the bear market the people who converted their coins to tether are not taking as big of a hit as the rest of us who left our money in other cryptos. They might not be meeting up with the monthly audit that they promises but they are doing a good job keeping the price of their coin stable.
so if we want to trade with the most stable coin in the cryptocurrency, maybe tether is the best choice because so far, the price does not increase too high and low and if the price increase, its not more than $1.5 and the decrease is not more than $0.98 and it will get up and down in many times. but we need to think that if we trade tether, our profit is not too big to depend on the other coins which can increase higher in the next hours.
Well they had a few audits and they went through it strong, I think that is the end of the discussion, tether isn't a scam and is actually backed by real dollars.
I use usdt only to fix the rate of btc I like before cashing out. Never store my coins in usdt for a long period.

Of course I do, saved a ton of money this bear market by utilizing tether and not keeping my money in alts that rapidly lost value
Cars to share how lots that tons of money?lol
Tether is one legit coins and haad lots of trusted members investing on this so i dont know why this OP putting words against a legitimate and semi successful coins
Or maybe hes just a frustrated investor of tether that didn't succeed on investing
I heard that Tether had strange transaction and news about 30mln stolen and so on. However, does smb like it? Do you prefer to use it?
I saw a paper like "audit" when they confirmed $2 ths bln on the bank account of Tether, but it is still questionable. Could it be a huge scam?

who said the scam tether was untrue news, we can see right now, the price of the tether is very stable, all the coin prices are down, but the price of the tether still survives
Tether is not scam but doing manipulations in the crypto market.As a result, the crypto market is badly affected.People are getting less trust.
I think it is not a major issue for crypto industries and it is not a scam. In the crypto market investors need to more careful and cunning about investing in crypto.
Scam it's or not, we need tether and things like tether, it's making crypto world more stable.
not at all. we don't need a shady altcoin that is creeping its way into the whole market and can fail at any moment if the company behind it decides to scam and run away or if finally US government decides they want to close them down because of all their claims about having USD reserves and all that drama. do you know what will happen to the market then?!
if anything, what we need is a decentralized stable coin not a centralized coin like tether.
in my opinion, the tether is not a scam although I am not yet to try to send my tether from one exchange to other exchange. but I believe that tether is not like what we think. tether is good for us and we can hold the tether if we don't want to buy and sell bitcoin or we don't want to convert our tether to fiat. maybe many of us don't know how to hold tether in the exchange so we think that tether is a scam.
I rode the last wave down because I was scared of Tether and hodl'ed instead of Tethering. BIG MISTAKE. I will be utilizing Tether if we have a crazy run once again. I don't want to take the ride down again.
Scam it's or not, we need tether and things like tether, it's making crypto world more stable.
It is still uncertain if it is a scam or not. We can check the news for further clarifications instead of going for the words of a source which is not legit or cannot guarantee on the accuracy of the news. If, still in doubt, it is better to avoid it for the time being.
I never use a tether in any exchanges because I don't know much about tether. I try to ask my friends about tether and it seems that they don't use tether too. maybe it's the same as the other coins but I don't think that tether is a scam because I see that tether is available on the big exchange and have a big volume in the transaction. but still, I really don't know about tether.
TETHER is the only option, if you need to buy cryptocurrency, so I don't think it is fraudulent. At least not now.
I have never heard of TETHER, so i really don`t know if it is a scan or not. Can you tell me what TETHER is? I`m trying to learn everything about crypto. Thank you!
I think that they are too good to be catched even if their game play dirty. No way to expose them!
Still, there is no an official statement from any bank, that all tethers are backed by the real dollars. We just see how they print out another 100 millions tethers monthly. We have to be accurate with it.
No, I don't think that Tether is scam. But, yes, I also heard the news of $ 30 million being stolen. But I agree with you that it cannot be hold for long term Investments.
I don’t think so because many projects are related with them also this creating good value in the market may be it can be hype but as far I know it’s not scam based on this situations there are many gossips based on crypto market so we should rely on trusted source.
It was blamed from last year with many FUDs that they can print money to manipulate this market. And they said that they have USD backed in the bank. Till this time many exchanges used it as a market, so i can say that it's not.
I don't think this is a scam. This is good currency and getting popular day by day. I hope this will have a good future potentiality
tether is a kind of crytocurrency so I don't think we should consider it as scam, but scam can be available here so one has to be smart enough to identify it otherwise he can be a victim but just because scam is present there that doesn't mean we should consider the whole site as a scam thing.
It is a simple matter that as long as there is popularity there must be scam. In case of crypto currency people must be aware of scams by gathering proper knowledge and researching them.
Even if it turns out to be a scam people will continue to use it. It's like the early days of a pyramid scheme those that use it and get out before it bursts will profit or reap the rewards (easy currency conversion during downtrends). But if you get left holding when it inevitably crashes they'll be worthless.

I guess there was no any problem with tether audit and it looks like they have the funds to backed tether coin with the dollar. Tether has been used to store for short term trading when the price was declining a lot. I remember that the lawyer of tether has been stated a lot about that.

I think more study needs to be done on the so called tether and there have been so many controversies surrounding it. When i first heard about tether in cryptocurrency and its stable value, i was so surprised.
Of course I do, saved a ton of money this bear market by utilizing tether and not keeping my money in alts that rapidly lost value
The topic is still in the discussion of tea board. It is thought as a scam or something wrong for its activity. But the creation of bitfinex was not likely to be scam , I guess.
In order to survive in the market of crypto currency and generate a profit form the investment, the investor must be very clever. This market is unpredictable with the fluctuation in prices and scam companies trying to scam the investors of their money. Before making any investment it is wise to conduct a proper research on the company and consult in forums and blogs.
