Educate me please, what are the negative possibilities on what CZ has been doing lately?
There are many. Look first of all at Binance's approach to their customers' data and privacy:

Your Personal Data will be protected and kept confidential, but subject to the provisions of any applicable law, your Personal Data may, depending on the products or services concerned, be disclosed to the following third parties:

(i)transaction counterparties;
(ii) other divisions or entities within Binance Holdings Ltd and our affiliates;
(iii) our joint venture/ alliance partners and business partners;
(iv) our agents, contractors, vendors, third party service providers and specialist advisers who have been contracted to provide us with administrative, financial, research, operational, IT or other services, such as telecommunications, information technology, payment, payroll, processing, training, market research, storage and archival;
(v) any third party business partners who offer goods and services or sponsor contests or other promotional programmes, whether in conjunction with us or not;
(vi) insurers or insurance investigators and credit providers;
(vii) the Credit Bureau, or in the event of default or disputes, any debt collection agencies or dispute resolution centres;
(viii) any business partner, investor, assignee or transferee (actual or prospective) to facilitate business asset transactions (which may extend to any merger, acquisition or asset sale) involving the Binance group;
(ix) our professional advisors such as our auditors and lawyers;
(x) relevant government regulators or authority or law enforcement agency to comply with any laws or rules and regulations imposed by any governmental authority;
(xi) anyone to whom we transfer or may transfer our rights and obligations;
(xii) banks, credit card companies and their respective service providers; and
(xiii) any other party as may be consented to by you, as specified by that individual or in the applicable contract.

I'm struggling to think of a single entity which isn't covered by that list.

Binance aren't just holding your personal information from KYC and tying it to all your trades and holdings, but now they will be tying it to which pages you view and which links you click on at Coinmarketcap, they'll link your IP to any miners running in their pool, they'll monitor all your real world purchases you make with their new debit card, they will likely even be tracking your web browsing through their new Brave "partnership". And with that information, they will quite happily share it or sell it with anyone they damn well please, including the government and other authorities. They are turning themselves in to the Google or Facebook or crypto. Sure, your trading fees are valuable to them, but your data is just as valuable on the open market. Binance are turning themselves from a simple exchange in to a data harvesting company, and that is concerning.

Well, as long as It's not illegally divulge then I am okay with it, I'm sure everyone understands everything before they sign up with Binance.
But then maybe as the crypto progresses, government will have to carefully check the TOS or the rules of an exchange if they comply with the standard, in short the government has to make a standard rules for regulating crypto exchanges or businesses.

I'm sure there will be more acquisition going into a different venture aside from exchange, what would CZ are planning here?

for typical investor like me, I'd think it's a good thing as Binance is growing and it like to dominate the market.
A reputable company will attract more people to adopt, I think this is what we need, or correct me if I'm wrong.


if Facebook sells personal data, we will find it easy for Binance to sell more than that.

They know the consequences, that's illegal and that might stop their big business.
If we believe they would do that, I think we should not also trust banks or any financial institution that requires and store our KYC.

What worries me is the terrible expansion of this platform at the expense of many of the well-known services that it is closer to what Facebook does and therefore it is wrong to trust such companies, if Facebook sells personal data, we will find it easy for Binance to sell more than that.

Do not forget that the company, despite being fully centralized, is trying to hide its headquarters and a lot of information. Lips sealed

I hope people will stop trusting these platforms completely. History proves that.

Spreading the scope of this company is great but we do know that it do becomes centralized.
Binance is a private company. It has never been anything other than centralized.

It is concerning that there is one (incredibly shady) company trying to stick their finger in every pie they can find (mining, Brave browser, CoinMarketCap, debit card, all in the last week). I am fully expecting them to continue to look for other avenues to venture down or other businesses they can buy out. It is certainly worrying that they seem to be trying to turn themselves in to ubiquitous, all encompassing, crypto company - the Google of crypto, if you will. It will be terrible for user privacy and security, and I would encourage everyone to stay away from everything they touch for your own safety.

However, the Binance has never been decentralized, and Binance acquiring all these things doesn't change the decentralized nature of bitcoin. Stop trusting third parties like Binance and use bitcoin as it was intended.

That's a genius way to use their famous brand to something low-cost but profitable.

And look at the bright side: In Bitcoin, more mining pools means less accumulation of network hashrate to a single entity.
If that pool makes it to the top, then the risk of a mining pool reaching the power enough of a 51% attack will drop significantly.

It's a win-win in a 90-10 way  Smiley

Im not that surprised that CZ would jump into other crypto-related businesses and yes this all for the sake of money and reputation. Spreading the scope of this company is great but we do know that it do becomes centralized.

On mining venture im sure that this wont be easy for Binance but at least we are seeing some competition against Bitmain.Lets see on how this thing goes.

So Binance has official venture into the mining pool business and hiring people from Bitmain.

I don't know how Bitmain will react to this, but I'm sure Jihan will not take this lightly. It will be a challenge to them to keep the majority of mining pool, but as guess Binance has the money now to put up a good competition. And yes, this is definitely all for the money, after-all all the moolah is flowing 24x7 here.

Well, centralization aside, I think it's understandable considering they're trying to make as much money as possible. If they can build their own mining pool then why not? After all, it's about money.

People are not that stupid after all. If he did try to do some stupid things I bet it will get noticed. Just like their drama with Steem fork.

They are trying to build a centralize system in my opinion because they are trying to themselves into all sphere of cryptocurrency. That's good from a business view that they are acquiring lots of subsidiaries but that can later give CZ more power to manipulate a lot of things.

Binance is topping the news daily with more news, acquisitions and more cooperation. It is planning to launch its first bitcoin mining pool which will be in addition to its already numerous offerings.

Yes, there is a #BinanceMiningPool coming soon. 👀

A new addition to our suite of #BinanceFinance products we offer including: Staking, Earn, Savings and Loans.#useBNB https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1245357138978861057
It is unclear exactly what the Binance pool will offer but unofficial sources have said that Binance has already hired professionals to work on this new project (Some of these hires come from Bitmain.)
