As far as I'm concerned I won the argument. There are no public markets online selling that sick poo poo for Bitcoin.

If you know of somewhere that does sell it for Bitcoin you're probably a pedo. You deserve to die.

To address allegations head on, we wish to make a few things clear: All Tethers in circulation are fully backed by USD reserves. Full stop. Memoranda, consulting reports, industry leaders, cryptocurrency pioneers, and competitors have all confirmed this. Reserves have always, and will always, match the number of Tethers in circulation.

No, no, you don't understand, despite the fact the firm is not an accounting firm, has made no guarantees about anything it's saying about anything, and in fact is kind of eyeballing a napkin of unknown provenance that has written in lipstick "fundz r here" as its basis for its conclusions, and cannot in fact confirm that the company that hired it even legally exists, everything is on the up and up and you should totes put your life savings into tether.

Korean Cryptocurrency Exchange Bithumb Loses More Than $30 Million in Hack

Security concerns have plagued the digital currency industry and impacted prices

Seoul-based bitcoin exchange Bithumb said Wednesday it had lost over $30 million as the result of being hacked, the second cyberattack in two weeks to hit a major South Korean cryptocurrency exchange as safety concerns hamper the industry and weigh on prices.

Bithumb said it had lost $31.56 million (35 billion won) worth of cryptocurrencies and has temporarily halted withdrawal and deposit services. The company said it would compensate customers for all lost assets.

But they are using FUD, and the person spreading the facts likes them, so it should be "Facts I Dislike".

That definition of FUD only works in the context of "Yeah I'm spreading FUD. Facts U Dislike". It doesn't work in the more common scenario of calling out someone using the term FUD by saying "FUD doesn't mean Facts U Dislike".
