Tether Crypto Controversy: What Twitter Investors Are Saying About the Stablecoin Now

Tether (CCC:USDT-USD) is starting up production again after a two-month halt and crypto traders are chiming in on the controversy.

Tether is going to town with its new printing, having added 2.3 billion tokens since the start of the month. That extreme increase in the stablecoin’s size has some investors on social media wary of the crypto.

Tether’s status as a stablecoin has it focusing on maintaining a certain price. In this case, the crypto tries to keep its price at $1 per token. Even so, there is some slight fluctuation to that price from time to time.

Let’s take a look at what Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) users are saying about the Tether crypto controversy.

#Tether (USDT) is a ponzi scheme, just not in the traditional sense. Tether manipulate the price of #Bitcoin & crypto higher to get more new real money in so that the earlier buyers of Bitcoin & crypto can cash out a little every so often. Indirectly Tether is a ponzi scheme.

Tether is the vast majority of all crypto trading volume. Tens of billions of dollars of alleged volumes, billions of tethers issued every week.
