This post is much better than spreading FUD. We need more positivity in this forum rather than spreading hate and FUD. You don't need to be salty. 
We need to be practical and realistic. Not optimistic.
Many factors had been attributed to the little, sudden rise in bitcoin.
Tethers' crash
Mix-up of BTC/USD and BTC/USDT pair.
And u recently read a publication of a major whale buying $500million worth of bitcoin using tether.
Whatever the reason, it is temporary and has not caused enough pump to cause a bull run.
The contrast in BTC value on various exchanges does create an opportunity for arbitrage trading.
I think you are overestimating the role of Tether in the crypto community.
