Investors love Binance for several compelling reasons. Binance, founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao (CZ), has emerged as one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. Here are some key factors that contribute to its popularity among investors:
Strong Market Position: Binance has established a dominant position in the global cryptocurrency market. It consistently ranks among the largest exchanges by trading volume and boasts a broad user base. The exchange's popularity and reputation attract a vast pool of traders and investors, ensuring high liquidity and a wide range of trading opportunities.
Extensive Range of Cryptocurrencies: Binance offers an extensive selection of cryptocurrencies for trading. It supports a vast array of digital assets, including major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP), as well as numerous altcoins. This wide range of options allows investors to diversify their portfolios and capitalize on various investment opportunities.
User-Friendly Interface: Binance provides a user-friendly and intuitive interface, making it accessible to both beginner and experienced traders. The platform offers a seamless trading experience with advanced charting tools, order types, and customizable settings. Additionally, Binance offers a simplified interface for novice users, ensuring a smooth onboarding process.
Robust Security Measures: Security is a top priority for Binance. The exchange has implemented several measures to safeguard user funds and data. These include two-factor authentication (2FA), withdrawal whitelisting, cold storage for the majority of funds, and regular security audits. Binance's commitment to maintaining a secure platform instills confidence in investors and helps protect against potential security breaches.
Wide Range of Services: Binance offers more than just a trading platform. It has expanded its services to cater to various investor needs. Binance features a decentralized exchange (Binance DEX), margin trading, futures trading, staking, lending, and a launchpad for token sales, providing investors with diverse avenues to explore and profit from different investment strategies.
Innovation and Adaptability: Binance has a track record of innovation and adaptability to market trends. The exchange frequently introduces new features, products, and services to stay ahead of the curve and meet the evolving needs of its users. Binance's ability to adapt to the changing landscape of the cryptocurrency industry makes it an attractive platform for investors seeking growth and innovation.
Binance Coin (BNB) Utility: Binance has its native cryptocurrency, Binance Coin (BNB), which adds an additional layer of value for investors. BNB offers various utilities within the Binance ecosystem, such as discounted trading fees, participation in token sales, and access to exclusive events. BNB has demonstrated significant growth and has become one of the most valuable and widely used cryptocurrencies, further increasing its appeal to investors.
Strong Leadership and Reputation: Binance's founder and CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), has established himself as a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency industry. CZ's leadership and vision have propelled Binance's success and earned the trust of investors. The exchange's commitment to transparency, compliance, and regulatory efforts has also helped build a strong reputation within the crypto community and traditional financial sectors.
Overall, Binance's strong market position, extensive range of cryptocurrencies, user-friendly interface, robust security measures, wide range of services, innovation, BNB utility, and strong leadership make it a preferred choice for investors looking to participate in the cryptocurrency market. However, it's essential to conduct thorough research and consider individual investment goals and risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.

LeoFinance utilized zealy.io in launching a campaign with the aim of mass adoption. Whether our understanding of the word “mass” is the same as in the mind of the development team, is another question. Let us just take the plain meaning of that goal without going into a debate about whether that is achievable or not. If the goal is just to achieve 5,000 Monthly Active Users, I think that is more realistic and if that is what is meant for mass, I am fine with that.
Now, in launching this campaign, those of us who participate in it are given quests to complete. One of these is labeled under CYOA-Finance Bro. Sixteen quests fall under this category. They are as follows:

Info for Bros
Finance Writer
Business Writer
Economics Writer
Crypto Writer
FinTech Writer
Politics Writer
SEO Lion
Hive Journalist
LeoVerse Journalist
Bitcoin Journalist
Ethereum Journalist
EVM Journalist
Blockchain Journalist
Alpha Hunter, and
Final Boss – The Finance Bro

I forgot how did I accomplish the first quest. As for the remaining quests, I find them very challenging. With my background in financial literacy, I can write about finance. Economics too would be an easy topic for me. Though I didn’t earn any formal degree in this discipline, I read a lot about representative economists from the Austrian School such as Ludwig von Mises, F. A. Hayek, Ron Paul, and Tom Woods. As for business, that’s not my field though at one time I wrote a research paper for someone taking a master’s degree in business while I was still writing at oDesk around 2009. There, I learn how to write SEO articles. But you know, any skill that is not utilized for quite some time, you will soon forget it and in the end, you might lose it. That’s also what I feel about thesis writing.
There was a time in 2006 when writing a thesis was easy. I thought that just using the same method I used in my master’s thesis, I can write one thesis every two to three months. But after several years of not utilizing the skill, simply writing a term paper now is quite difficult for me. I am now taking my Ph. D. in Intercultural Studies and we are done with the first three courses last February, but until now, I haven’t started yet writing our research papers. One is due on 31st May and the other two are on 31st July.
Returning to the above quests, crypto, and fintech is also not easy, but I can try. Politics, though controversial I can also try this, but please don’t be mad with me if we don’t share similar political persuasion. I am more inclined toward classical liberalism with its view of free markets, sound money, limited government, and low taxes. These ideas are unpopular these days due to the dominance of Marxist and socialist ideologies in the academe.
SEO, I can also try that. I just need to review how to find those keywords to write about. As for the six journalists’ quests, oh! I need more guidance on how to do it. The last two, Alpha Hunter and Final Boss, I am clueless.
I think that’s it for now. In the next post, I intend to continue what I started here and that is I want to break down a 5,600-plus presentation I did in November 2021 into separate articles as entries to complete the zealy quests.
Grace and peace!

#1. My all time favorite and largest hold is SME, and with good reason. SoMee is one of the most underrated decetralized social media platforms out there. SoMee keeps their Community Updated Daily, Consistently and often in their Telegram channel here: https://t.me/Someeofficials

The SoMee Devs are top of the line Devs like i haven't seen in many other platforms. The Devs are squashing bugs and adding features to the site daily. They have German Actors and Actresses in the Platform, along with Influencers and famous people. They are and also have been featured in the Nasdaq,

#2. PoB: Yes, this project really called my attention because of its similarities to Bitcoin, Limited supply at 21 million like Bitcoin and a halving every four years of rewards very similar to Bitcoin. I love the PoB platform which i have enjoyed even more than Leofinance as it is super user friendly, and you can stake tokens from many project through their platform. I have close to 11K PoB now and am looking to continue accumulating at these prices.

#3. MemeHive: I am very thankful to the MemeHive Community for teaching me the proper way of Mememing by sourcing images and Memes properly. For this i have accumulated close to 1 Million Meme tokens. From using their layer 2, i noticed that they have a very close relationship with the Lolz currency. The future looks bright for something like this, coupled with Pepe and other Meme coins on the Hive Network! Much props to that team.

#4. Leofinance: Although i was really enjoying this platform. Lately it is falling from grace, at least as a Social Media Platform for me. I love their Dex and strongly believe it is the best and most comprehensive DEX i have ever used. In fact, nothing comes even remotely close to their DEX. Their. Token is taking off yes, and i bet there are good reasons for that.

#5. Pepe Token: Yes, i have posted about this one before. I will cover this one much much more, as more and more features are implemented. This one has the potential of being far superior than the Ethereum version regardless of whether it makes you rich in the short term or not.

#6. Archon: I really intended to buy a lot more of this one but was disappointed that i could not find any platform at all for this. I can't view anything on this, and i can't even use their app on Hive Keychain nor Hivesigner. Hence, i cannot test anything. The only place i can find to stake this oddly enough was on the PoB Web-App. I was going to get 15K of this one for now but changed my mind because i am not really happy with this one at the moment. I tried posting with their tribe tag in order to get answers, and for nine hours no one answered. So, i deleted my post...

Pepe's explosion caught many by surprise. But is it really all that surprising? Has Pepe not been pretty famous for sometime? Now we have Wojak, Pepe's friend, who's token came out on Ethereum. Can Wojak be the Next Meme Coin to explode?

If you believe this may be the case. Then you are going to have to be patient. Remember Shiba Inu did not explode immediately after we saw the Dogecoin Explosion. I strongly believe this Pepe explosion may very well lead Wojak to explode as well sooner or later, just like Dodgecoin led to Shiba Inu's explosion.

Polygon was founded in 2017 by Jaynti Kanani, Sandeep Nailwal, and Anurag Arjun, with the aim of addressing the scalability issues facing Ethereum.
The Polygon network is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, which means that it operates on top of the Ethereum blockchain to provide faster and cheaper transactions.
The Matic Network was rebranded as Polygon in February 2021 to reflect its broader mission of building a multi-chain ecosystem that supports interoperability between different blockchains.
Polygon uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which is more energy-efficient and faster than the Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism used by Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The Polygon network supports a wide range of decentralized applications (dApps), including decentralized exchanges (DEXs), gaming platforms, and NFT marketplaces.
The Polygon network has seen significant growth in recent months, with the total value locked (TVL) in its ecosystem surpassing $10 billion in May 2021.
Polygon has a native token called MATIC, which is used to pay for transaction fees and provide governance rights on the network.
The Polygon team is actively working on a number of initiatives to improve the scalability and functionality of the network, including the development of new Layer 2 solutions and partnerships with other blockchain projects.
Some notable investors in Polygon include Mark Cuban, Coinbase Ventures, and Binance Labs.
Polygon has been recognized as one of the most promising projects in the blockchain industry, with Forbes naming it as one of the top 10 blockchain projects to watch in 2021.

About to scoop some more $PEPE on Leo. The hive version of Pepe has way more use vs the Ethereum based one.
