FADE TO BLACK.
The words "Buttcoin: The Future of Money" appear on the screen.

FADE TO BLACK.
FADE IN:
INT. DARK ROOM - DAY
We see BITFINEXED, a shadowy figure, sitting in a dark room. His face is obscured, and we can barely make out his features.
BITFINEXED:
The whole mess started with Tether and the inspector gadget guy. You see, Tether is a cryptocurrency that's supposed to be pegged to the US dollar, but there's been a lot of controversy about whether it's actually backed by dollars or not. And the inspector gadget guy is a pseudonym for a person who claims to have uncovered evidence of fraud at Tether and its parent company, Bitfinex.
CUT TO:
A series of clips showing various news reports and interviews about the controversy surrounding Tether and Bitfinex.
CUT TO:
BITFINEXED, still sitting in the dark room, speaking in a low, ominous tone.
BITFINEXED:
This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many other shady practices going on in the world of cryptocurrency. It's a Wild West out there, and a lot of people are getting hurt.
FADE TO BLACK.

INT. CRYPTO CONFERENCE - DAY
We see JIMMY, the same person we saw earlier, still sitting at his desk. This time, he looks excited and enthusiastic.

CUT TO:
JIMMY, still sitting at his desk, looking concerned.
JIMMY:
But then I realized all my money was in USDT, and that was a big problem. You see, USDT is a stablecoin that's supposed to be pegged to the US dollar, but there's been a lot of controversy about whether it's actually backed by dollars or not. And when the price of USDT started to fall, so did the value of my Shiba Inu coins.
CUT TO:
A series of clips showing the decline of Shiba Inu coin and USDT, as the prices plummet.
CUT TO:
JIMMY, still sitting at his desk, looking dejected.

FADE TO BLACK.
FADE IN:
INT. DARK ROOM - DAY
We see BITFINEXED, the shadowy figure from earlier, still sitting in the dark room.
BITFINEXED:
As I mentioned earlier, there's been a lot of controversy surrounding Tether and Bitfinex. In fact, they were already fined by the New York Attorney General, who made it clear that at times, Tether was not backed by dollars.
CUT TO:
A screen showing a statement from the Attorney General, JAMES. The statement reads:
"Bitfinex and Tether recklessly and unlawfully covered-up massive financial losses to keep their scheme going and protect their bottom lines."

CUT TO:
A series of clips showing the controversy surrounding Tether and Bitfinex, including interviews with experts and analysts who raise red flags about the stability and legitimacy of the cryptocurrency.
CUT TO:
JIMMY, still sitting at his desk, looking determined.
JIMMY:

CUT TO:
A series of clips showing the collapse of Tether and Bitfinex, as the prices plummet and people lose money.
CUT TO:
JIMMY, still sitting at his desk, looking grim.

It's a cautionary tale. The world of cryptocurrency is full of risks and uncertainties. You have to be careful, and you have to know what you're doing.
FADE TO BLACK.

CUT TO:
NARRATOR, still standing on the stage, looking shaken.
NARRATOR:
It just goes to show that you never know what's going to happen in the world of cryptocurrency. It's a wild and unpredictable place. You have to be careful, and you have to know what you're doing.
FADE TO BLACK.

INT. BUTTCOIN CONFERENCE - DAY
We see JIMMY, standing on a stage at the buttcoin conference. He looks dejected and defeated. The audience, made up of people from the old r/buttcoin subreddit, laugh and mock him.
NARRATOR:
As we've seen, the world of cryptocurrency is full of risks and uncertainties. And one of the biggest controversies in recent years was the downfall of Tether and Bitfinex.
CUT TO:
A series of clips showing the controversy surrounding Tether and Bitfinex, including interviews with experts and analysts who raise red flags about the stability and legitimacy of the cryptocurrency.
CUT TO:
NARRATOR, standing on the stage, speaking in a serious and somber tone.
NARRATOR:
But it was the actions of one person that ultimately led to the downfall of Tether and Bitfinex. The inspector gadget guy. You see, he's a pseudonym for Jean Chalopin, the head of Deltec Bank in the Bahamas. And it was Deltec Bank that held the assets of Tether and Bitfinex.
CUT TO:
A series of clips showing Jean Chalopin, the head of Deltec Bank, speaking at various conferences and events.
CUT TO:
NARRATOR, still standing on the stage, looking amazed.
NARRATOR:
And get this. Jean Chalopin made the information about Tether and Bitfinex public via a new cartoon called Buttcoin. Can you believe it? A cartoon was the catalyst for the downfall of Tether and Bitfinex.
CUT TO:
JIMMY, standing on the stage at the buttcoin conference, looking embarrassed and ashamed as the audience laughs at him.
NARRATOR:
But as we can see, the people of r/buttcoin are still lost and lonely, gathering at conferences like this one to reminisce about the old days when bitcoin was still the future of money.
INT. NEWS STUDIO - DAY
We see BITFINEXED, sitting in a news studio, speaking to a REPORTER.
REPORTER:
So, Bitfinexed, you've been vocal about your skepticism of Tether and Bitfinex. But I understand that you actually hold a considerable amount of Tether yourself. Can you explain why?
BITFINEXED:
Yes, that's correct. I actually bought Tether when they were less than a cent each, and I've been holding onto them ever since. To be honest, I treat them like little pet rocks. I don't have high hopes for them, but who knows, maybe someday they'll be worth something again.
REPORTER:
But isn't it risky to hold onto Tether, given all the controversy surrounding them?
BITFINEXED:
Of course it's risky. But that's the nature of the cryptocurrency market. It's volatile and unpredictable. And for me, holding onto Tether is a bit of a gamble. Maybe I'll come out ahead, or maybe I'll end up losing everything. But that's the risk I'm willing to take.
REPORTER:
But why do you think Tether has any potential at all?
BITFINEXED:
Well, I think that ultimately, Tether could end up being the future of money. It's a stablecoin, which means that it's pegged to the value of a real-world asset, like the US dollar. And in a world where cryptocurrencies are becoming more and more mainstream, stablecoins like Tether could end up playing a crucial role.
REPORTER:
Interesting. Well, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Bitfinexed.
BITFINEXED:
Thank you for having me.
