1/8 It’s time to set the binance record straight and let the world know the truth. The binance - DGB story starts with us refusing to pay the “listing fee” last summer/fall. And continuing to refuse to ever pay it for the last 12 months.

2/8 Several key members of the DGB community were accused of being Chinese spies last fall in WeChat groups attempting to undermine CZ... Groups none of us were ever part of or aware of since none of us use WeChat. Major miscommunication here.

3/8 Binance used our social media attention for the Citibank Tech4Integiry event in 2017 to gain attention for itself after first launching. Several twitter polls were won for DGB and a listing was “promised” on several occasions.

4/8 Many members of the DigiByte community repeatedly filled out multiple “applications” of listing for binance jumping through many ridiculous and unprofessional hoops that are completely hypocritical considering projects they later added.

5/8 Throughout the fall of 2017 and beginning of 2018 several fraudulent ICO’s were added, pumped and dumped on binance. Further entrenching and frustrating many DigiByte community members.

6/8 Here is a detailed written example of specific isntances of this pump and dump activity: medium.com/@edwardpumps/s…

7/8 Many of us realize this behaviour is not sustainable on any exchange and holds back the entire industry from really thriving. Nevertheless we attempted to “bury” the hatchet and encourage more positivity in the community.

8/8 I was told this weekend if I “publicly” apologized to CZ for my “mistakes” of refusing to pay a bribe and calling out P&D activity they “might consider adding DGB” in a few months.

8/9 For historical purposes: This was the request made directly by CZ to "owning up to ones own mistakes" on Oct. 8th. The "mistake" of refusing to be extorted. The "mistake" of standing up for #decentralized #blockchain technology like #DigiByte. The mistake of calling out P&D's

8/10 Sleazy CZ is a lying crook. He sent that direct to a DGB team member on Oct. 8th. By the way I am blocked by CZ & Binance now so I can't respond:

8/11 Nov. 6th, 2017. First @binance call for $DGB listing. We stated we pay no fee on call. Response - "you can't accept our listing way." "Whats your budget." Dec. 22 - we need to "pass evaluation fee." October 2018, "listing fee" becomes mandatory "donation" & public "apology"

8/12 - Nov. 6th 2017. What is your budget?" - Binance staff. "We charge a bit high"
