Binance is not that awesome as you would think. They might be 1st in alexa rank as they are hyped. but volume wise, they are at 10th place.

It's true, their security should be better (like the security of every other exchange, let's face the truth), but the support from all of those people mentioned in the article is a proof that binance is still huge.
Great article btw, i completely forgot that John McAfee is still alive ;d
