So far, crypto has become the centralized entity it claims to hate. It's clear as day that Bitcoin's price is being severely manipulated so whales can profit off of others' optimism and speculation. It's pretty clear what's happening. You almost never see such a volatile asset - that especially has a market cap over $150 billion - because the liquidity and high volume should be high enough to cover big orders to the point where market manipulation doesn't happen. It seems that BTC's price is being overly-inflated through Tether (USDT), a token back by absolutely nothing.
USDT managed to get success through market manipulation. Bitfinex flooded Kraken with a high volume of trades to give the illusion that the market valued USDT as much as USD, despite there being no actual cash reserves to back it up. Since Tether isn't backed by any commodity, asset, or even cash, what stops Bitfinex from printing more tether to give Bitcoin a false rise in value?
Bitcoin and the price of other cryptocurrencies rise because of Tether printing more tokens to manipulate the market, increasing the perceived "market value". This increase in the perceived value of Bitcoin causes an increase in hashrate, thus fulfilling the prophecy. What stops Tether from ensuring the failure of any currency they don't support? They can simply mint more Tether, repeatedly dump the currency, and then make it go to 0. It's hard because even if Tether was found guilty of fraud, it would still cause crypto market prices to plummet.
