Binance are everywhere now, they are envading the crypto space and I won't be surprise if one day, BNB  is going to be sitting next to bitcoin.
Another good move by Binance, and to invest with the huge amount of money, they know it can help them a lot, and please OP don't think of a threat as there is no threat here, CMC just giving us information on the coins in the market, it's just an information and it's still us who will evaluate.

Please help me spread this!we can't allow this to happen. We MUST do something or the monopolization of Binance will end with crypto.
What the hell is going on?   coinmarketcap to be adquired by Binance?
Coinmarketcap sold for 400M. Cryptoindustry will belong to Binance.

Post edited: I don't know what the hell I wrote about end of decentralization, in fact it is the path to MONOPOLIZATION!!
Let me remind you that this is the guy that suggested Bitcoin's  ROLLOVER to recover the 7000BTC hacked to his exchange. Now he would be able to manipulate also the top1 cryptoaggregator.


I recently read this news and I was rather sad to this happening if in case the CMC owners will decide to proceed with the deal as that amount is kinda huge for them also. CMC owners can do a lot with that amount especially if they didn't care about their website and they only care about their ROI as it is their big opportunity, being offered by that amount.

But on the other hand, I am not so sure if CMC will still remain at the top if in case the ownership will be change because we cannot assure already whether the data that are being provided by the site are 90-100% accurate because we know that Binance will do everything just to make sure that the data that they provided will favor to them. I am a CMC user and I will likely look for other sources of data if in case this deal will happen.

This is actually good news. The CEO of Binance is bullish on bitcoin.
I dont use it, because I lost my password there a long time ago.

On the other side, Bitmex is a bearish exchange and have too much influence on the price.
If I'm not mistaken, Bitmex have three times more volume than the main exchanges combined. This happens because of the leverage they offer.
If anything, its Bitmex which is monopolizing the market, and Binance wants to bring some balance to it.

I dont understand why you relate the buying of Binance into decentralization are you saying that Binance as of now is decentralized?  What Im thingking on the other hand is maybe is time to make coinmarketcap improved its services by listing trusted coins and delisting such exchanges which uses bots to manipulate trading volume in order to attract traders.

But what if 2-3 years later Binance will own most of the largest utilized websites and services in our crypto sphere?
What services are you imagining here? The whole point of bitcoin is to not require trusting third parties. It is perfectly easy to utilize bitcoin without using any third party service, exchange, website, etc. It doesn't really matter to me who owns most services because I know I will never use them.

Unfortunately, the converse of this is that there are plenty of people who will continue to use any service, regardless of how shady, unethical, untrustworthy, or insecure, they are, or who they are bought over by.

what bothers me is that binance has a finger in every pie. exchanges, VC, token sales, "dex", trust wallet, visa debit cards, etc etc etc.
Now imagine just how many people and third parties across the "Binance" umbrella of sites and services have access to your KYC documents if you send them over.

Binance are rapidly becoming as untrustworthy as Coinbase, but since there is no shortage of people who are willing to give them their business despite this, they will continue to grow and take over more and more services. If you don't like it, then stop using centralized services.

Man is trying to be a Godzilla in the cryptocurrency space and if not for the intervention of many other prominent people, he would have successfully rollover that 7000BTC stolen from his exchange which will be totally against what the entire cryptocurrency and blockchain technology stands for.

He's not a miner or a developer. He has no power to do that. Absolutely everyone other than him would reject any attempt. He got laughed at and torn a new one for even thinking out loud about it.

It is something that people should remember though. It demonstrates major hubris and stupidity. So far he has not demonstrated the qualities that someone with that much potential power could do with.

Ultimately he's just another service provider that leeches off the real system underneath. He'll be forgotten dust eventually just like most others.

I believe the OP should know better that our opinion don't amount to something because the rightful judgment belong to capital market and if they choose to give it up to Binance so be it. Besides, this could bring some amendment of fake data information we once complain about.
Note : Could this be, the OP is fighting for himself cause he works for coinmarketcap and he might loose his position is the company is acquire by Binance?

Please help me spread this!we can't allow this to happen. We MUST do something or the monopolization of Binance will end with crypto.

What should any of us do now to stop a completely legal business? It is not the first or last time that such large companies invest their money by buying other companies, and I do not see how the fact that CMC is owned by Binance will change anything...

I find it much more dangerous that BTC is largely centralized in the way that the most influential crypto exchanges have millions of BTC in their possession (only Coinbase almost 1 million BTC), which just means that most people still haven't figured out what BTC really is.

Since I know your position on what is going to happen with BTC in next few months, why are you even worried about something like this? You promised to return to the forum only when BTC drops to $1000.

Well, I come back to you when BTC reach 1k or 2k  in the next months.. and I would be expecting your answer here.

I am overhelmed Grin .. you are really in love with me

I don't know why everyone is just trying to bash the poster of this thread, i can't deny there's a bit of wrong choice of words with the MONOPOLIZATION but things he accused binance of isn't entirely wrong...... Man is trying to be a Godzilla in the cryptocurrency space and if not for the intervention of many other prominent people, he would have successfully rollover that 7000BTC stolen from his exchange which will be totally against what the entire cryptocurrency and blockchain technology stands for.

Already, many tradees have called out binance CEO for sending fake price alert through binance mobile app alert functionality, and he the CEO of  binance has many times accused CMC and other exchanges for having fake trading volumes. What do you all think will happen ls when he controls the most used price tracker and coin analysis platform in the whole crypto space. I smell something fishy too

Agreed. They should officially shape up or piss right off. It shows CZ to be seriously tone deaf to steer it in the way he does. For better or worse cryptoland is only heading in one direction. Anyone who doesn't make an effort to accommodate that is going to wind up damaging it.

Binance as an exchange already controlling a major chunk of the crypto market. If that is not termed as monopolization, then how come their acquisition of CMC can be termed as monopolization? Also how come it is an end of decentralized economy?

it does seem like a conflict of interest. an exchange running the single most influential exchange/coin ranking site---what could go wrong? Tongue

And some say CMC was owned by the Bytecoin/HitBTC/Freewallet/Changelly/Cointelegraph mafia so it didn't have the most fragrant ownership to start with.

But what if 2-3 years later Binance will own most of the largest utilized websites and services in our crypto sphere? I feel like that's the true danger of these moves: when you'll want to access a service and know that no matter what you go for you're going to use Binance's service, that becomes a Facebook-like shitty situation.

On the other hand though, I guess even if we try our best not to make a corporation head towards this move, there will always be someone willing to take in more power and more profit. Thanks God there are great people working on providing our crypto sphere the best services, but decentralized.

CMC's power was already a big problem. It had way, way too much and I'll guess it didn't expect to end up with so much. It wasn't run in a particularly responsible manner. I can't see Binance doing a worse job and people should already have been aware of its malignance.

It's natural for money to make money and drive towards consolidation. It's the way of the world. It's up to us to vote with our money and spread it around where possible.

OP,do you know what a monopoly actually is?
A monopoly is a company or business,which is THE ONLY OPTION for it's customers.Hence,they are forced to buy the products and services of the monopoly(or they could simply refuse to buy and use those products or services).Is Binance the ONE AND ONLY cryptocurrency exchange platform in the world?NO!
Is Coinmarketcap the ONE AND ONLY cryptocurrency market cap and price comparison service?NO!
Are customers around the world forced in any way to use Binance and Coinmarketcap?Nope...
I'm not advocating Binance(especially with the Bitcoin rollover shit),but they are not a monopoly.

CMC was already a poo with far too much power that it didn't deserve or earn. Nothing much will change. Perhaps Binance will be a bit more rapid to respond to the blatant piss taking.

And some say CMC was owned by the Bytecoin/HitBTC/Freewallet/Changelly/Cointelegraph mafia so it didn't have the most fragrant ownership to start with.

As for decentralisation, wut?

This is a billion dollar business, and Binance is on top of it, and as much as we don't want this to happen, at the end of the day, the people behind coinmarketcap will have to make more money out of their business and it just so happen that Binance is more willing. We can't really stop that.

So it's either you learn to accept that fact, or move on and not trust coinmarketcap when Binance takes over, you don't need to overreact to it and call it the end of decentralisation and crypto.

Your statement makes no sense! Rather, it shows that crypto market has grown into a serious business which is attracting millions dollar acquisition.

For sure, Binance will benefit more from the advertisement on the coinmarketcap after acquiring this. No decentralization of cryptocurrency will get affected this. It's still your choice to use coinmarketcap, beside that we still have a lot of alternatives to Coinmarketcap, just also like Coinpaprika(https://coinpaprika.com/) or Coingecko as what @btc_angela said.
For sure, after this, we can see some new alternatives of Coinmarketcap will grow.
