Spamming mempool now means more panic to the average Joe in these days he's overly panicked. Does he want to make people change their minds about withdrawing from exchanges? Or does he try to cover some exchanges that can now claim withdrawing issues? I don't know.

As much as I dislike CZ and Binance, spamming is not really the word here.
I said it when the FTX dama was going down, with everyone rushing to get their $10 or even $5 out of that exchange you're going to have a delay, and if the same happens now at Binance they have no choice as to start consolidating all the deposits of everyone to either pay up or use the satoshis deposited.

Looking at this kind of tx:

Imagine you have $1k in 200 inputs, and this is one for hundreds of deposits, if they are running low on coins they must do this, there is no other way.

If they touch the cold wallet there is panic!
If they touch the reserve deposit there is panic!
If they consolidate the wallets there is panic!
If withdrawals are delayed for more than a day, there is panic!

Besides, isn't this what we're preaching for, for everyone rushing to get their coins out?

And if he really wanted to panic the markets he would have put something double, what's an extra 20 BTC for him, especially since his own pool will be mining one-seventh of it?
