Please do some research before you post. Where is your evidence that Binance is an "ICO Scam"? Binance is clearly past the ICO stage and has grown into an actual company. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/article

This article always rubbed me the wrong way as it's practically a condensed rewrite of Have You Ever Tried to Sell a Diamond? , published in The Atlantic in 1982. Much of this article is just quotes from the original. It bothers tha
