Binance is China-owned so there's no problems, all criminal allegations are false, company is in great shape, and customer's assets are safe. What about Coinbas

You're posting pro-Binance, pro-China comments all over this thread > company is in great shape, and customer's assets are safe Do you have any proof of this? I assume that to know this for sure, you would have some insight into Binance internals?

  The sarcasm is so thick that even a non-native like me picks it up.

    The only thing thicker is me, apparently :P

      It happens :) The first few years on HN I was super bad at this, but after a while it becomes a bit easier and the posters history is usually a good clue. That said I still get it wrong plenty of times, especially in writing.

    Suggest adding a /s in the future to avoid confusion.

      the goal is communication is not always clarity the fun of sarcasm is knowing enough to recognize it if somebody is too out of the loop to recognize it and picks an argument, it's collateral damage

        That may be so, but in normal communications, such as speech it is tone of voice and possibly non-verbal hints that will indicate sarcasm. Online you don't have that and the 'collateral damage' can result in a lot of wasted bits from people reacting to the words rather than to the joke and this in turn can drown out the rest of the discussion.

        Adding a /s to a post is the internet equivalent of saying "just joking haha" after saying a joke. It ruins half of the fun.

        I understand why you might want to add a sarcasm indicator to texts including sarcasm. I'm not arguing against that point. I'm trying to show the other side of the coin: why some other people would not want to add those sarcasm indicators.
