    The Tether cryptocurrency, which is also known as USDT, was officially launched as Realcoin in 2014, but has since changed its name.

    It’s described as a “stablecoin”, which is a type of cryptocurrency that aims to keep crypto values stable.

    Tether aims to do this by pegging the price to a regular “fiat” currency, like US dollars, Euros or the Chinese yuan.

    Tether claims to keep values steady by holding reserves in that currency in a bank.

  • CRYPTO AND BLOCKCHAIN SCAMS

    Cryptocurrencies operate on blockchain networks.

    Scammers often claim their blockchain is “in development” or “about to be released,” but all legitimate cryptos will have an accompanying website to verify the currency.

    Users can type the name of the crypto into any search engine with the phrase “blockchain explorer” or “blockchain scan” to find the connected blockchain, if it even exists.

  • WHAT ARE RED FLAGS OF SCAMS?

    Gizmodo shared that other red flags of the SQUID coin being illegitimate was that the website that the creators launched was filled with spelling and grammatical errors.

    The hamster then runs on an “intention wheel” that chooses one of 30 different cryptocurrencies to trade.

  • A CRYPTO-TRADING HAMSTER OUTPERFORMS MARKET

    He determines which currencies to buy or sell by running on his wheel or walking through one of two tunnels.

  • WHAT WILL SHIBA INU BE WORTH IN 2022?

    Plenty of cryptocurrency fans have predicted Shiba Inu’s value for 2022, but you should take it with a pinch of salt as those guesses are nowhere near guaranteed.
