Post by: Joe200 on January 05, 2017, 03:13:40 PM

terther or USDT value same or equal dollar
equal US dollar
if one USDT same value US dollar, you can trade use tether dollar, in poloniex and bitfinex, value same USD not diference

I assume they are saying they have $11,244,909.07 in a bank and $10,896,577.69 worth of Tether issued.

Tethers are not worth to hold as there is a counter party risk if the devs do not want to honour their liabilites. Then the coin would crash and fall to near zero.
If I would like to convert my holdings to fiat, I might as well hold USD directly. It is much safer and I do not need to worry about any counter party risk.

I think that you might be mistakenly correlating the total Liabilities with issued Tethers. The Authorized but not issued variable is a key to this equasion. Tether's value is 1$ and will remain like this [as long as liabilities keep being honoured].

no peg appears to have ever survived in the long run. this has some decent backers at least but there's no way i'd be placing any faith in any peg run by anyone.

The difference is so small, I'd guess coinmarketcap is a few minutes behind. I think the figures look fine, contrary to the opening post. Though I may have missed something?

I also noticed that, when I tried to withdraw funds. It seems respective fee, so this is why Bitcoin price difference on different exchanges.

I read that 1 Tether will always be equal to $1, so where do you get $0.94 valuation?
