If you were a big Bitcoin miner and you knew that there was only $2,000 flowing into the ecosystem for every Bitcoin mined, which would you rather?: - Selling each Bitcoin for $2,000 to pay your electricity bills? - Selling each Bitcoin for $40,000 USDT, which you know is only backed by $2,000? Clearly the latter, because you make the same amount of money but get to keep 95% of your Bitcoin. The Tether fraud only makes sense if you assume that the miners aren't colluding, and that they don't make more money the more Tether gets devalued.
