Will Tether cause Bitcoin to crash?

It was around this time last year that I really had a look around for some quality information on Crypto and specifically what could derail Bitcoin. It seemed to good to be true as the price marched up and some reliable facts seemed needed. A tether collapse was seen by many as the biggest threat to Bitcoin getting stomped on. Why is it then that media a year later are reporting the big pump of Bitcoin and most Cryptocurrencies on October 15th 2018 as nothing of great concern? Tether is acknowledged as the catalyst but it is almost brushed aside as a concern.
