.....Because of the credibility that comes with that tie to the dollar, Tether are often used to buy other virtual currencies like Bitcoin.

In recent months, however, many investors have been raising alarm bells about Tether. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of new Tether were created; almost always when the prices of other virtual currencies were heading down. The Tether were used on the Bitfinex exchange to make big purchases of Bitcoin and other tokens, helping push their prices back up, according to multiple analyses of data from Bitfinex.

“This became more and more concerning, because every time the markets went down, you have seen the same thing happen,” said Joey Krug, the co-chief investment officer at Pantera Capital, which runs several virtual currency hedge funds. “It could mean that a lot of the rally over December and January might not have been real.”

Bitfinex had contracted with an American firm, Friedman, to audit its records and prove that its operation of Tether is above board. But last week, Bitfinex said it was cutting ties with Friedman, after waiting months for it to finish the audit. That news generated more suspicion.

“It’s a signal to the market of what those who have scrutinized the situation already believe: There is a problem here,” said Jill Carlson, a former trader at Goldman Sachs who now consults with a variety of virtual currency companies. “The dissolution of a relationship between an auditor and a company is very rarely a good sign that the company is behaving in accordance with market best practices.”

You're being shafted by KQ now you're unable to exit because of the abyss of stock consolidation. ...Ni kweli nyani haoni gubaye uliona la mwenziwe.

Yes, I agree, cyrptocurrencies are here to stay but not bitcoin and other coins which are being bought as assets, do you buy cash as an asset?

Money market is in existence since time immemorial. Currency pairs USD/KES, GBP/CAD,EUR/AUS etc trade 24/7 ...The same concept is applied in digital currencies just like in traditional fiat money.

@Spikes & @Mukiri.

I asked a few days ago and I'll ask again.

Kindly, describe for me how you convert cryptocurrency into KES, credited in your local(Kenyan) bank account?
