I'm waiting patiently for the whole Tether printing scheme to fall and crush to finally purchase Bitcoin / Ether. However I'm not viewing them as inflation hedges so long as Bitfinex / etc. are allowed to continue with their obvious money printing scheme.

When most crypto trading volume is traded at trustworthy exchanges which actually hold dollars as much as they say they do, I'll trust $/BTC to be a fair market.

It's dumb escaping from Powell's printing machine straight into Bitfinex tether printing machine. BTC isn't the hedge people think it is so long as it's traded against fictional dollars. Tether's volume exceeds Bitcoin, so that's the scale of fictional dollars supporting Bitcoin right now.
