In a Show of Good Faith Tether Drops off 2.5 million Pages of Documentation with the NY Attorney General.
Sorry to break this to FUD spreaders. Tether and Bitfinex produced more than 2.5M documentation pages in response to requests from NYAG. Discussions are progressing well. Business as usual after the 15th of Jan. https://t.co/VoEsRuJyyP

Tether Fear Uncertainty & Doubt (F.U.D)
The $1.4 trillion lawsuit against #Tether is over 1,000% larger than XRP's tiny $1.3B SEC lawsuit.

This is a CIVIL SUIT not an SEC of CFTC action against Tether USDT which is a Hong Kong, based company, that is not traded on US exchanges and not held by US customers.
Tether has over 2300 trading pairs across hundreds of exchanges and is a tiny 2.7% of the global crypto market cap $735.41 B (at the date of this writing), not just the BTC market cap.
The memes are AWESOME and hilarious however Tether’s tiny 2.7% is not what is behind the price of BTC.
Hand’s down our favorite Tether BTC meme. Kudos to the artist 😂😂😂 .

Another great Tether FUD meme spotted in the wild😂.
The $BTC and $USDT Ponzi Scheme in all its glory. Regulations will put an end to this madness that has corrupted the #Blockchain and #Crypto ecosystems since the takeover of BTC in 2014-16 and creation of $Tether in 2014. pic.twitter.com/KwIfsOI90c

If Tether disappeared today which we believe it will not because it is very useful and traders love it, provable by one look at its average trade volume of 6,136,270.83 (Nov-Today) it would only take with it its $21Billion dollar market cap (at the date of this writing).
If you are a Tether hater there are plenty of Stable Tokens out there to use. Traders who do not have fiat off-ramps MUST have some sort of stable coin while TRADING which is different from HODL’ing.
