Because that's what determines how much you can exchange each BTC for - not necessarily in USD but in terms of goods. Those are substantially they only things that determine how much each BTC is worth. You have to trust they don't unravel or your net worth will be substantially impacted.
- randomhodler84 5y agoNah… tether is less relevant today than ever. Maybe in 2017/2018 it was another story. I suspect in 2022 the other stables will overshoot it anyway. Folks seem quite excited about UST as another algorithmic option today. We are still in price discovery phase for BTC, and will be for a while longer. There are 1.3M coins available for purchase today, dropping at about 100k/month. I feel this will have a far greater effect than some stablecoins. I feel nothing for wild swings to my net worth. If anything, it has made the very concept of money more nebulous to me.

It's all the liquidity in the entire market. It's more important now than ever.
