Binance froze my funds for 30 days, then sent my withdrawal to the wrong address and blamed it on malware 🤡
Ethereum (Reddit)

I need to share what just happened because it’s absolutely insane and people should know how Binance treats its users.

Binance opened a bogus $197 “dispute” against me and froze ALL my funds for 30 days straight. Every single day I was threatened — my account would be suspended, closed, or funds withheld unless I paid.

After the 30 days expired, they closed the case themselves without my compliance. Fine, I thought, finally done.

I go to withdraw ~$2,300 BTC to my whitelisted Trezor address — the one I had saved long ago. I didn’t type anything, didn’t paste anything, just clicked the dropdown.

Guess what? Binance sends my money to a completely different Bitcoin address that is NOT mine. When I confronted them, they had the audacity to blame it on “malware” on my device. 🤦‍♂️

Here’s the kicker: their own system behavior proves that’s impossible. If the address had been tampered with locally, Binance’s backend would’ve flagged it as a new address and forced network selection + 2FA. That never happened. They admitted themselves that the transaction was processed as whitelisted. Which means the mistake was inside Binance, not on my machine.

So after 30 days of threats and frozen funds, my very next withdrawal gets “misrouted” to a random address, and they blame me. This isn’t an accident anymore — it looks like retaliation for not bowing to their $197 shakedown.

I have the blockchain records, I have the screenshots of their UI logic, I have the chat trannoscripts where they basically admit it went through as whitelisted.

This company is a predatory custodian that overrides its own security guarantees when it suits them. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. And the fact that they’re hiding behind “malware” excuses while bypassing their billion-dollar whitelist infrastructure is beyond laughable.

People really need to think twice before leaving any serious money on Binance.

ETH escrow services - helping DeFi users trade safely in P2P deals
Ethereum (Reddit)

With all the DeFi innovation happening, seeing more people move to P2P trading for better rates and privacy. Problem is - lots of scams targeting ETH holders.

Offering professional escrow specifically for Ethereum community:

- ETH and ERC-20 token deals

- Smart contract integration when needed

- 1% fees (way less than most DEX slippage)

- 300+ successful transactions

Also handle ETH exchanges with traditional payment methods for people moving between CeFi and DeFi.

Started a trading community focused on education and security. Too many good ETH projects and users getting burned by bad actors.

ETH veterans - what's been your biggest P2P trading challenge? Always looking to improve services based on community needs.

DM if you need escrow for upcoming ETH deals or want to connect with other serious traders.

mass adoption of Ethereum - what would be the real network value?
Ethereum (Reddit)

Assuming mass adoption is fully implemented on Ethereum (which I firmly believe will happen in the future), what do you think would be the fair value of the Ethereum network?

I mean, if the entire real financial world is brought on chain to Ethereum

I believe Ethereum will reach values that no other asset in the world will ever achieve

I would say at least $50trillion in market capitalization

What is your recommendation?
