Cryto money is fake money

Wen lambo

AML FRAUD THIEVES

..and yet Crypto is up 8% in last 24 hours...go figure!

STFU! Features got banned.

The crypto world needs regulation to combat institutional bad actor, such as . Due to lack of regulation gets to lie and spread fake news like this one, with the aim to manipulate the market and does not get punished for such behavior.

Are there really no standards in journalism? If you had a semblance of honesty you'd re-write that headline immediately. My biggest advice to people is to stop paying attention to all legacy media: they trade in your hysteria by disseminating click-bait headlines like this.

This is why I always said media’s sucks!!! Really sucks!!! Binance is Not banned at all.. the UK just don’t allowed one of the features on the platform only!!!

Bullshit from uk fake news.

RYAN_BROWNE_ you should really correct your article.

They are not allowed to operate a UK business & they don't. As much to do with Binance not agreeing on AML regulations and change operating model as to do with the FCA. A more mature leadership at Binance would have come out with such a statement ahead of the FCA.

Fake news.

coinbase will get bigger then $coin

xrparmy

Nope

Except, they didn’t. Come on, you fell for this FUD as well. I thought you had a research team?

Ehh

Gets banned from selling trading modules.. like shorts/longs you mean..Good all exchanges should ban these products allowing people to leverage debt manipulate markets is WRONG shorting to destroy normal investors is vile

If the UK are banning then we are all buying!

This is why I don’t trust MSM there is no real journalist anymore. They literally just copy each other driving their own narrative.

I’m a little confused!

MrAndyDavis snapped my money out fast

Soon they gonna resolve it don’t be panic guys

Gone are the days when journalism was real and fact checking was creditability. Well, even global media has compromised values of research.....

You think you can stop us? Nice try but you will lose!

Organized FUD

Anyone able to clarify then if it is safe to hold GBPs with Binance in the UK in order to get their savings interest on GBPs?

FUD !!!!!! Only derivatives are 'banned' and not on We can all still trade its fine. Don't listen to the FUD

'Bitcoin should be part of every investor's portfolio' 'The fraud FIAT is inherent to the FIAT system and we can see it today in the USA...the dollar as hard money is a joke' - Ricardo Salinas Pliego RicardoBSalinas (Mexican billionaire, 3rd richest)

Regulations which ban voluntary and peaceful actions are evil.

Binance and whales are friends. Bitcoin is a game and Technological Problems, Transactional Problems, Regulatory Challenges, China’s Bitcoin Crackdown, Regulating Bitcoin in the US, UK ban (Binance), scam, fraud, money laundering, not decentralized and emission. Few understand.
