They are investing $250. The author realizes that this is not a great trade. It’s a proof of concept.

My take was this is less about proving a concept and more a nerdy/amusing/I don't mind losing money way of saying "I strongly believe Tether is a house if cards that will blow over at some point".

Hence the last line - "for the eventual pleasure of saying “I told you so”."
