Noob Question: Say Poloniex is hacked - would the hacker have any benefit from stealing the USDT?
https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/tether/
As it is a teathered crypto - is it only valid on Polionex? If it is stolen, can it be forked then or pulled back (ideally by the 'teather') to return the funds to the associated account (similar to ETC)?
Specifically - is USDT then safer than BTC on an exchange in the event of a hack?
Thank so much - I appreciate all of your expertise and insight!!
