Concerns over Binance's financial practices and the need for self-custody
There are concerns over Binance's financial practices, including commingling customer funds with corporate funds and questionable accounting practices. These concerns stem from the belief that Binance's operations and governance may not be as transparent or secure as they claim to be. This highlights the importance of self-custody, where individuals hold their own Bitcoin and have complete control over their funds.
