what a nonsense

I dont know if you are saying that im lying or that charging for listing a new coin is wrong, so here is the source link:
Code:
https://crypto-bridge.org/coin-add/

Charging for listing a coin in an exchange is a widespread behavior, but its always hidden from the public. Cryptobridge made it far more obvious than normal, this makes me believe that this practice is slowly being accepted by the public. Being listed in a new exchange gives a huge boost to any coin, and as you saw in clam, being delisted makes the price tank a lot. The market only took the initiative to put a price in these events, based in the size of the exchange and the difficulty to add a new coin, i think.

What makes me a little uncomfortable is the fact that they charge 0,25 BTC to any non-consensus wallet update. I am not an expert, but i think this means that any developer can make an undesirable change to a wallet and pay them to apply it. For POW you need to persuade miners to use the client you developed, but for POS things get problematic here: Exchanges have a lot of coins in their wallets, and exchanges like poloniex controls a lot of the network. If they follow this trend, someone can just bribe exchanges to apply any non-consensus changes they want. Scary  Embarrassed
