I would love to agree to you, but I cannot.
Tether printing is just a meme, invented by conspiracy theorists on the level of r0ach.
It would be so good to be real. If it was, we would be at one million already, and able to eradicate poverty from Earth.
Unfortunatelly, it is not. Tether printing is just material for FUD, to drive the price down.
What strikes me in this case is the hipocrisy: everybody FUD over tether printing, but nobody FUD over fiat printing. If people where to FUD over fiat printing, in the same way they FUD over tether printing, bitcoin would have a higher price now.
About bear markets: 2013-2015 was a bear market, and didnt last 3 years. Bitcoin moves faster than the stock market, just do some research.
Lol now tether is a conspiracy.
It's just what it is, a lot of people are going to think forever that Tether doesn't have 1:1 resources at all times, and at least ins ome periods in time they are printing these Tether tokens without having the actual US dollar reserves.
If the process was transparent and the bank accounts were publicly auditable it would be less of an uncertainty but then again, providing such a service it's very difficult and you are pretty much forced to use off-shore accounts in private banking, it's just never going to be solved unless it gets audited by a bunch of different parties.
