Meanwhile, even the most enthusiastic bitcoin evangelists are realizing that a retooling is in order. Michael J. Casey, a senior adviser for blockchain research at MIT’s Digital Currency Initiative, recently wrote about how the crypto-winter has arrived, but it may lead to better things down the line:
The blockchain technology backing cryptocurrency is inherently secure, thanks to the decentralized — and public — nature of distributed ledger technology and the encryption process every transaction undergoes.
Unlike traditional payment processors, such as PayPal and credit cards, most cryptocurrencies have no built-in refund or chargeback functions, although some newer cryptocurrencies have rudimentary refund features.

Speculation is a prominent influence on cryptocurrency prices. As seen with the collapse of Bitcoin’s price in 2018, following a bull run from around $1,000 to just shy of $20,000 in 2017, experienced and inexperienced traders alike can go long for too long – expecting the price to keep rising and fearing missing out on the party.

Bitcoin (BTC) crashed to just $8,100 on Oct. 21 — but only if you were trading on Binance’s dedicated United States exchange, Binance.US.

Non-fungible tokens, in contrast to bitcoin, are each unique and cannot be replaced by something else.

Additionally, there are a few ways in which customers can reduce the amount of fees they pay. If customers choose to pay trading fees with Binance’s native token, BNB, the fees will be reduced by 25%. The second way in which fees can be reduced is by referring friends to Binance. If a user pays fees with BNB and refers a friend, the most they will end up paying in trading fees is 0.06% for each trade. That is one of the best deals in all of crypto.
