I also remember the interview. If I remember it correctly, he also implied that Binance smartchain will very much be a big part of Binance's progression to become a more decentralized exchange where their jurisdiction might be will not be very important.
I honestly found it interesting at first that a company operating all over the world doesn't have headquarters. They're like a digital nomad. When I first read about Binance's unique structure many years ago, around the time it started growing big, I was kind of amazed that even employees are like CIA operatives, working in the shadows, even anonymously.
But then I realized later on that there are implications that make it actually risky for clients. I don't even care about tax responsibilities. I'm thinking of the company's accountability to its customers.
I reckon we also have to consider that the interview was made before 2018. I am not certain on the correct year, however, the cryptospace community was very different before when everyone encouraged decentralization. Presently the community wants regulation and regulators to enter the cryptospace because we were tricked to think that it will be safer to invest. It might also be because we were tricked to think that our coins will pump. I shake my head on this because the regulators do not care for our safety or if our coins will pump. They only want to control everything.
