When I initially speculated on cryptocurrencies, you all told me that making money was as easy as breathing; now I'm feeling a bit short of breath.
These days, the bear market for BTC and ETH seems long and endless, but on Twitter, in friend circles, and chat groups, there’s a hot topic in the crypto world: Binance's Phase 2 coin listing voting event. Because some projects spend money to buy votes, I cast a vote last night and also enjoyed a 40 Yuan pig trotter rice.
Some say that spending money to buy votes is cheating, but I personally strongly agree with projects that spend money to buy votes; let me share my personal voting experience. I voted for a project coin for Binance's Phase 2 for 40 Yuan, and I actually started to learn and research this project coin—this is definitely a way to attract new users for the project and Binance exchange. If no money was involved, I probably wouldn’t even think about participating in the vote, let alone actually voting.
At the same time, I want to invite my family and friends to register for a Binance account, so that during the coin listing voting event, they can enjoy a few more meals of pig trotter rice. Look, I’ve also proactively started putting in effort to attract new users for Binance.
Where there are people, there will be a community; there won’t be absolute fairness and justice. In the U.S. presidential election, money is also used to buy votes, and even in village chief elections, there are meals and red envelopes to buy votes. Projects that spend money to buy votes aren’t necessarily good projects, but projects that are unwilling to spend money to buy votes are unlikely to be much better. If spending money to buy votes is considered cheating, what could be more real than cash?
In the future, more and more exchanges will learn from Binance's voting for coin listings, which means that each phase of the coin listing vote is essentially the project side spending money to have users promote and attract new users to the exchange.
In the past, the cake of coin listings was in the hands of a small number of powerful people in the exchange; now Binance has shared the cake of coin listings with its users, and I also got a meal of pig trotter rice.
Now I earn a living by delivering takeout; that’s the life of a delivery person.
