Binance “Dust” Now Convertible to BNB

One of the major complaints from traders using Binance is “dust.” When trades are executed between trading pairs to revert back to the main coin, i.e. BTC or ETH, there are tiny fractions of the other coin remaining. The totals remaining are below the minimum amount to be tradable – 0.005 BTC or around $4.50 right now. Binance has finally addressed this issue with a “Convert to BNB button.” With one click, traders can convert their dust to Binance Coin.

This is Regulation - Wells Fargo Fined $1 Billion

Zero of that Billion in fines is planned for customers who have lost money or were in other ways negatively affected by the poor business practices in place by the major bank. Regulators have required that “plans” be created to compensate customers. The fine was levied for three major issues taking place.

1. 2013 to 2017 – Employees unaware of mortgage fees assessed arbitrary fines

2. 2011 to 2015 – Enrolling and assuming automatic payments for car insurance to members without their knowledge – 570,00 affected

3. 2015 to 2017 – fired 5,700 employees for creating fake accounts in order to meet unrealistic sales goals

This is a prime example of why many people strongly support the open-ledger communities of blockchain technology.
