that suggests to me that the success of BNB is directly linked to how successful Binance is and will be in the future and that goes against everything that crypto stands for.
Ask 100 people and you will get 100 different answers of what they think crypto stands for, aside from the financial incentive they get from these "centralized coins." As long as the price keeps going up, who cares about the centralization and stuff? People is just care about how much money they can make.
Lemme give another example:
$ETH -> The pre-mine
$SHIB -> Vitalik got 50% of the SHIB total supply for FREE.
$USDT -> How much real USD they keep in their vault, definitely not 100%.
$XRP -> Also created from the thin air.
etc. etc.
