Sure, it's collateralized by ethereum - the problem with that of course is that ethereum is a completely manipulated price driven up by billions in falsely collateralized tether.

So effectively, you've linked DAI to the value of a coin that is set by tether. That being the case, the actual value of the collateral is in question.

That's why I replied that way.
