What is Binance Coin?

Source

Binance Coin, or BNB, is an ERC20 token tied to Binance, a popular online cryptocurrency exchange.

Just how popular is Binance?

It leads the world in trading volume with $1.6 billion in 24-hour volume.

Trading on Binance

Source

I've been trading cryptos since the MtGox and subsequent BTC-e days.

(That means that I've had plenty of time to make every crypto trading mistake known to Man! Lol!)

Compared to the old days when navigating an exchange's trading menu felt like entering a confusing, hostile territory, Binance is like Camelot.

In short, I'm tickled pink with my trading experience on Binance.

Binance offers both basic and advanced trading menus and array of flexible trading tools.

Binance is expansive; listing an impressive inventory of tradeable cryptos.

It is fast.

On Binance I've enjoyed instantaneous market orders, up to the second buyer/seller matches on limit orders, and refreshingly responsive customer service.

BTW, since Binance does not deal with fiat/crypto pairs, no AML/KYC is required; making crypto trading available to worldwide customers - no matter what their country's crypto to fiat policies may be.

Macro Play on China

Binance's token (BNB) enables me to easily have a stake in the Chinese Crypto scene.

Cryptos like NEO, ONT, TKY, etc. are highly liquid on Binance and traded with BNB quickly and easily.

Increasing Scarcity (Scheduled Coin Burns)

Source

Binance has an ongoing commitment to decrease the total supply of BNB in the market.

Every quarter since it launched, Binance committed to using 20% of our profit to buy back Binance Coins and burn them permanently.

Source

End Result for the BNB Holder?

A scheduled, pro-rated increase in Binance equity that feels like an annuity or quarterly dividend.

And this is without factoring in any market price activity!

Resilient during this Bear Market

Source

Even a cursory look at BNB's chart on coinmarketcap.com reveals how BNB continues to be a resilient, steady climber.

Discounted Trading Fees

Source

The first year launch offer provides a 50 percent discount on trades through Binance coin, and the discount percentage reduces by half each year.

That is, the second-year discount is 25 percent, the third-year discount is 12.5 percent, and the fourth-year discount is 6.25%, with the discount ending from the fifth year onwards.

Utilizing My Dust Bin

Source

WHAT IS CRYPTO DUST?

Crypto dust refers to a fractional cryptocurrency value. It is usually impossible to trade crypto dust due to the fact that they are less than the transaction fees.

Being lower than the minimum trading limit, it usually sits idle in user wallets. Hence, the term “crypto dust.”

Source

Every 24 hours, I empty my dust bin and receive BNB tokens.

Conclusion

Source

I've discussed my five reasons why I have BNB and why purchasing them was a No-Brainer for me.

But my list of reasons is just a hint of BNB token's total use cases.

Binance is my favorite exchange. As long as trading volume is good and Binance keeps burning coins, the price should be good. If there is a sea change to DEXs, it could affect the value of BNB unless Binance figures out how to add value in that space, which they claim to be working on.

I agree.

They appear to be highly innovative and adaptable.

Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Namaste, JaiChai

I own a whole 13 BNB lol but I might have to make a real investment instead of just holding a few for lower fees.

I love bnb and it keeps the costs down too while using bots

Getting some BNB is the same concept as investing in the equipment sellers during the gold rush.

You can't go wrong as long as Binance doesn't do something shady to undermine itself.

Interesting. I am new to crypto (only into it because of my interest in blogging on steemit). I have used coinbase and blocktrades, but that is it. May have to check Binance out too. :)

Glad to hear that Steemit got you into cryptos.

Namaste, JaiChai

I have yet to purchase an BNB, but you make it sound like a good buy. I'll have to take a deeper look.

I like it better than the Kucoin version.

Anyway, I can still remember when BTC-e effectively held my BTC and LTC hostage because of their exotic, ever-changing fee structure and minimum withdrawal amounts. (But at least their Troll Box was amusing. Lol!)

Back then, if one had the patience and skills, arbitrage could be moderately profitable.

These days, bots and specialized "best price service platforms" make individual arbitrage very difficult - unless you have multiple passports or some foreign friends who trust you a lot!

Speaking of BTC-e, karma's a bitch, no?

Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Have a great day.

Namaste, JaiChai

Great suggestion, might be something I may invest into.
Seems to stay stronger then most.

Another thing is the indivisibility of certain tokens like NEO, if you use BNB to pay the fees, you won't be stuck with a fraction of a NEO that is useless!
