I don't see any ambiguity on the decision logic, which was stated clearly.

finally there is also a third scenario of USDT/USD steadily climbing and staying above 1.1 on coinmarketcap for some odd reason. Obviously it never happened before, but it theoretically can in the future.

Technically it is still a working exchange as long as one can see BTC/USD, USDT/USD, ... charts in real time. WEX was clearly mentioned as the main source n the decision logic and also in the tags section. I agree that NO always was a favourite but there were two scenarios where "YES" could actually win: 1) sudden normalization with withdrawals 2) wex going offline.

@d_d if every exchange is trading below 1.1 except a site that can't really be called an 'exchange' from any functional perspective, do you not see the issue? It looks like this bet may have to be cancelled due to ambiguous decision logic (the two sources provided have fundamental conflicting information).

Lexi1414, as you rightly mentioned btc-e (former wex) survived the FBI raid, although many believed that it would simply disappear. if you want to cancel your bet, 0.0008 can be placed on the opposite side.

well, of course, wex is a shady exchange! that's why it can go offline basically anyday. it can also miraculously restore withdrawals so that usdt/usd rate quickly drops back to the fair value. (as it was promised by them in twitter a few days ago). In the end of the day either outcome is uncertain.

Look at the chart on wex you obviously see we can't go under 1.1 even in the monthly. I saw BTC to 9k+ on this site already. Facts claimed this site has been charged by the FBI for fraudulent activities some time ago

USDT USD is known to be pegged to 1 dollar and it should only be slightly up or slightly down. 2 USD for tether is scam from wex and the creator of this bet. This bet should be dissolved.

Just checked out wex.nz. What the hell is up with these prices? You sell one USDT and get 2.12 USD? I guess it's nearly impossible to withdraw fiat if people are willing to trade it in for less than half of its value in crypto. This bet seems like a trick.

It will only be proper to use the popular coinmarketcap as the price source, otherwise...

Ridiculous, the wex price is different

@nsob if WEX goes offline decision will be based solely on the data taken from the coinmarketcap.com

Updated title and decision logic based on the source criteria.

The image is misleading, since it comes from coinmarketcap while the decision logic is based on wex (which has a completely different graph)

it should be read as USDT/USD in the title, description and decision logic.
