Days like today, when price volatility – and thus transaction volume – is high, are exactly the kind of days you'd expect systems issues to manifest. As opposed to some random Thursday where no price action is happening.

Half the days are bad days. The volatility is wild. So why don't they have more issues if they are committing fraud is the question?

Not this bad

> This is only impacting the Bitcoin network. You can still withdraw Bitcoin on other networks like BEP-20.

But BTCB (Bitcoin on BSC/BEP-20) is not Bitcoin

To actually withdraw Bitcoin like this, you'd have to bridge your BTCB to WBTC on Ethereum, and from there bridge it back to BTC (using a custodial bridge, AFAIK there are no WBTC/BTC decentralised bridges)

You'd eat 2 sets of fees along the way plus gas, probably costing you 0.3% or more

If you want to withdraw to protect yourself against binance mtgox'ing, WBTC is probably safe enough.

Binance has DEX's, why would you trade it for WBTC -> BTC?

Which is also not Bitcoin
