Binance: attention and incentives · 26 Jan 2026

I have to say, it is almost cynical to watch how many people and accounts suddenly “discover” the courage to call out Binance, CZ, the Trump/ MAGA network and things that have been visible for a very long time.

I have to say, it is almost cynical to watch how many people and accounts suddenly “discover” the courage to call out Binance, CZ, the Trump/ MAGA network and things that have been visible for a very long time.

Yes, this tweet is uncomfortable, but I have been uncomfortable this whole time, long before most of them, and people are finally starting to wake up.

And now that it gets attention, everyone joins in and acts like they just uncovered something new.

You are about a year late.

But fine. Better late than never. Now let actions follow words.

Mute, unfollow and disengage from accounts that constantly push propaganda, hate, shilling and misinformation. Stop buying new worthless JPEGs memecoins or hypes.

Be conscious of which projects, platforms and narratives you support with your attention. Pay attention to who is serious and who is just jumping on the bandwagon.

What worries me is how quickly all of this will be forgotten the moment the next flashy pump token, the next Trump hype cycle or the next Binance narrative appears.

Or the next “anti-scam” and anti KOL coin that calls itself a movement even though there is nothing behind it, nothing before it.

I have seen this happen many times.

If you have truly understood what is going on, prove it through consistent behavior, not just loud posts while it is trending.

Otherwise, all of this is just a farce.
Just like it is nothing more than a farce right now.
