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".

I just wish it collapsed sooner. At this point the effect on the whole crypto sector, be it BTC, ETH or ADA will be unimaginable for most people.
