Yeah, the same exchange that was hacked a few weeks ago and lost close to $40M...That doesn't give me enough confidence to buy BNB, especially if I'm planning to hodl for the long-term, plus, its centralized feature is a big red flag.

This and your explanation do not encourage me to pour money into this coin.

Anyone who believes their DEX will be completely decentralized is a fool.

This is nothing more than assumptions + 'hope and dreams'. The only people waiting to sign up on Binance DEX are the one that are already in the cryptosphere, the general public doesn't care about centralization or decentralization, I'd go as far as to say that the average person would trust a lot more in the main exchange rather than the DEX, mainly because they're used to centralized companies, businesses, etc.

Oveall, i'm not against hodling BNB, but those reasons that you listed are pretty lame, especially if I were an investor, because nowhere in your post you mention they key word any investor planning to hodl a cryptocurrency wants to hear: profits.
