   @elomatreb yes, and I mean like, I know you're supposed to never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity, just I feel that with bitcoin, if you assume everybody is probably a scammer, you're right more than if you assume everybodys just in way over their head

     @er1n bitfinex is uhhhh very Special

     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tether_(cryptocurrency)#Alleged_price_manipulation

     the short version is they might be pulling the most hilarious scam via tether wherein they tell everybody that they have two billion dollars and then everybody just believes them

     @kaniini it's the old "tell everybody you have two billion dollars and no we can't tell you where they are from or show you any proof we have them, and then everybody goes 'yes this seems plausible' and lets you buy stuff with them" hustle

     oldest trick in the book!

     @will @er1n the main reason to hold tether is that you can't sell it because nobody wants to buy it

     @elomatreb oh actually here's the latest: they're insolvent.

     https://www.quadrigacx.com/

     (no word on whether it's legit that one guy died or maybe some employee or the guy who supposedly died ran off with the money or w/e, but they're definitely insolvent.)
