Binance has been a good centralized exchanges that people that trade often like day traders and scalpers are using, but all these positive news will make newbies think it is the best.
It may not be the best, but at least practically the most popular, which will push this exchange to the forefront, which in turn will attract even more users. I remember well the time when the exchange had just appeared, and now it is celebrating
"$100 trillion in all-time trading volume, a historic milestone". The influence of this exchange will only expand with the growth of trading volumes and user base.
Yes it is one of the best but there are many exchanges that I have used that are also one of the best exchanges. The exchange that I prefer right now is MECX because it has reputable and also having significantly lower fee than all the exchanges.
An exchange that is more popular will undoubtedly charge higher fees, and in order to compete with them, other exchanges will reduce fees to attract part of the user base.
I choose an exchange not because of its achievements but because it is reputable and satisfy me better.
I understand you, and you, as an experienced bitcoiner are rational in your choice, but most ordinary users will be guided by a slightly different "
logic" that will be influenced by the achievements of the exchange. But in general, binance can be included in the category of exchanges that satisfy in terms of reliability and functionality. Although, this is more a matter of taste and experience using exchanges.
