this doesn't make any sense unless tether is a required intermediate step to liquidating cryptocurrency, which it's not.
- b1daly 8y agoThat’s one of the problems. Liquidating “crypto to fiat” is not that easy.
- Roark66 8y agoDepends on the amount. If you suddenly have 1 billion $ worth of BTC to liquidate, then yes. It might not be so easy, but this is the same with any asset, stocks, bonds or commodities. If you want to liquidate less, why not use established exchanges? Last time I checked their limits were quite high.
