I keep seeing tweets from people claiming that all the gloating and piling on Binance only exists because some people want to push another CEX.

I keep seeing tweets from people claiming that all the gloating and piling on Binance only exists because some people want to push another CEX.

No. Fuck CEXs in general.

But Binance, and my followers know the tweets, the articles and the receipts, has been one of the biggest spreading cancers in this industry.

Not because it is centralised alone, but because of the scale, the influence, the opacity, the endless bootlicking, 10/10, listing, delisting, insider fraud, the KOL protection racket and the way it trained millions of users to confuse convenience with safety.

This is NOT about cheering for a competitor.

It is about watching one of the most powerful centralised entities in crypto finally run into the basic consequences of being too big, too shady and too used to getting away with everything.

Trump cannot just walk in now and turn a CZ pardon into a gold-plated MiCA bypass for @binance through some filthy backroom arrangement where political favour, corporate survival and personal benefit all magically meet in the same sewer.

Binance needs to open the books, disclose what has to be disclosed, make clear commitments and then actually be forced to keep them.

Like every other company that wants approval.

But apparently it is not that simple, and we all know why.

That is the whole point.
