Two weeks ago, I criticized Binance in a long-form tweet and what followed was a bizarre and disturbing exchange with a Binance senior executive.
A few days ago, I similarly criticized Tether in a long-form tweet and yet another albeit much more civilized and far more exhaustive debate ensued, this time with Tether’s Chief Technology Officer (and primary financial spokesperson), the famed Paolo Ardoino, who responded with 18 points and a slew of other tweets. Today I tweeted my fourth and final response. (And yes, you read the right, Tether’s CTO, not their CFO or CEO, is their primary spokesperson when it comes to Tether’s financial condition.)
Unlike my exchange with the Binance executive, overall, the Stark/Tether/Ardoino exchange has been a terrific, dynamic and civil discussion of ideas, triggering millions of views and lots of commentary from the Twitter-sphere (some made excellent points while others offered the usual blather of personal ad hominem attacks — but all very interesting nonetheless).
