I'm not advocating for tether. But it is not a ponzi scheme. And I think that most of the users understand what tether is - they are not excepting returns, they also understand tha…

Tether supply is 4.2 billion, Madoff defrauded 60+ billion, so tether is nothing compared to Madoffs scheme. Also, tether is stablecoin - people don't buy it for investment purpose…
