Counterpoint. Tether has grown into one of the most profitable, well funded companies on the planet. Their past growing pains are irrelevant to where they are now. They make $30-50 million per day with just 200 employees. They are the 18th largest holder of US debt, ahead of UAE and Germany. Last year, Tether achieved $14 billion in profit, surpassing Pfizer, Tesla, and BlackRock. https://www.bitget.com/news/detail/12560604740855

The pinnacle of fake it till you make it. Still a scam.

How exactly is it a scam now? Did they somehow fake treasury purchases? Can you describe something scam like about their business which doesn't also apply to JP Morgan?

If you wouldn't be so goddamn lazy, you would know, after searching for a minute that there is NO dollar backing. It's all just words. They have been caught with their pants down numerous times. Either you are a paid tether shill or you are actually that dumb

[LMYahooTFY]

So they own fake treasuries?

Ad hominem is as ad hominem does.

Your argument is “ah yes, it’s a scam, but look how much money it makes”

That doesn’t make it…less of a scam. I bet drug kingpins make bank too, doesn’t make them any more valid.

[smoovb]

define scam.

[udev4096]

Aren't you the definition of delusion. The past matters for a reason, it's the indication of how they started their fake scam. Sure, hard to touch them now but once a crook always a crook and taking pride in that shows your immoral nature in this late stage capitalistic era where money negates all the bad things you did in the past

Right, but isn't this... bad? Like so bad that it could bring down the entire capitalist system if it is allowed to grow unchecked?
