So their “evidence” is that people use new tether to buy bitcoin after bitcoin prices have gone down. Fundamentally they don’t show that people aren’t buying tether but they falsely claim it is evidence of manipulation. The data could also be explained by folks purchasing new tether to buy bitcoin. The paper is from 2018 and tether has gone through numerous government investigations since with no major action. This paper lacks anything resembling real analysis and does not meet the standards of a scientific paper.

You think it’s not manipulated because institutions set up financial instruments that people can throw money into?

Have fun with your totally-not-manipulated bitcoin propped up by printing.

I bet you claim that the dollars in bitcoin ETFs aren’t real either. Bitcoin ETF is growing far faster than gold did. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/blackrock-bitcoin-etf-becomes-fastest-192152139.html

I’m not worried about bitcoin. I’m tired of the same nonsensical and unsubstantiated arguments made from ignorance. Have fun being ignorant.
