Jared Tate, the founder of Digibyte, had some harsh words for cryptocurrency exchanges recently. He claims they are counter to what Satoshi Nakamoto would have wanted.

Jared Tate has been embroiled in a controversy that has left many in the cryptocurrency community divided. Recently, BeInCrypto reported, Tate publically said that Binance and Tron’s founder, Justin Sun, were “crooks.” Moreover, he said they were operating on borrowed time. In response to the drama, Poloniex decided to unilaterally delist Digibyte (DGB) from its exchange entirely.

Once again, I'm not siding with either Jared Tate and Poloniex in this case. But I would rather side with Changpeng Zhao and Justin Sun (both that I met twice personally in conferences).

This DigiByte "piece of crap" founder has to "shut the hell up" and mind his own freaking business!!!

I'm sorry to all of the DGB fans, followers and token holders here, but Jared Tate needs to stay in his lane and focus on improving the project. His rants against Changpeng Zhao and Justin Sun is so unprofessional and it won't help DGB much. It only wasted his freaking God damn time!

Currently, DGB is ranked 56th on CoinMarketCap with a price of $0.006 per token. Jared Tate, can you please just focus on "mooning" your token rather than wasting your saliva on Binance and Tron?

And also, Poloniex is also an idiot for delisting DGB instead of handling it professionally first.

I think without poloniex, digibyte can still continue to grow, so why should it matter that this is actually not worth broadcasting publicly, seeing politics in the crypto world is a bit annoying, but I don't support anyone here and also not a holder of digibyte, just hoping for problems This doesn't have to be big, I still see DGB in Bittrex and other large exchanges. I think it's good enough, I believe without Poloniex, Digibyte can still develop into big.

They delist 1 coin only because of an individual's problem. I'm not on either side, but I think Poloniex is behaving unprofessionally.

Yes I think too because where there is justin sun there is a scam you really have to stop the comedy of this guy.
This is the type of person who make bad blockchaine advertising.

What do you expect? Those people are ego-centric and will try to damage someone along the way. As far as Polo delisting DGB, then it's their call, just move on and see how it goes. We also need to understand that the people behind has it's own motive, so to each it's own.

But it's good that the DigiByte CEO is calling Tate here, he has every right. But I'm sure this 'war' will continue and I'm sure there will be no winners here. At the end, we are still working on one ecosystem and can't deny the fact that we're all affected.

This digibyte issue is really not an issue at all, poloniex delist digibyte and yesterday digibyte got listed on another exchange, its not a big deal at all, the only exchange that can have impact on a coin when delist is binance

I thought at first when Poloenix announced their delisting of Digibytes it was all because of something more deep which is like wash trading, maintenance costs, or lacking in volume. Turns out it was because the CEO's harsh words. And Poloniex's response them with a delisting DGB. You may call it unprofessional, but it's polo's rights to do whatever they want, including their action.

Looks like it's not a first for DigyBites getting on other's nerves. I think this problem of his with the others will last a bit longer and might get heated up even more. Just like OP said, they should focusing on increasing DGB's price instead of figthing here and there.

Poloniex is claimed to only contribute 1% of the dgb volume, of course this is insignificant compared to the dgb at ZBG, I consider to be a simple psywar, nothing else is interesting.

But the strange thing is seen when Poloniex takes steps so quickly, hopefully they don't make meaningful blunders just because of strong criticism/suspicion.

Poloneix shouldn't really have taken that action due to criticisms, the crypto world is full of criticism, so many individuals have criticized even the bitcoin, calling it a bubble, claiming it would crash in no time and so many other fake prophecies which have all proven to be fallacious. Criticisms are part of this modern world and organizations and company's must learn to deal with it.

Exchanges have their downsides, mostly centralized exchanges, but it's users just have to be careful with them, in the way they give out their information due to KYC requirements, and other things as well, but contrary to what Jared said, i do not believe Exchanges are on borrowed time in the crypto market, they are very essential and are here to stay.

not only delisting from the Binance is the reason of problems of the coin. Poloniex is also a very serious exchange and delisting from such an exchange raises doubts among the community and investors. when investors doubt then the coin has a big problems

It just private opinion will not give impact into DGB and crypto performance. We only need not agree and please don't share post like this in this forum. Send your complaint directly into DGB CEO and see the respond. The CEO can't answer your complaint he's not bitcointalk member. So, stay calm and let him go.

No offence @OP but i think you are also getting quite emotional here. I think Jared might be making all these strong accusations about Zhao and Sun because of the huge listing feels and other details that was published (https://chaintimes.com/dgb-claims-binance-asked-for-3-of-all-dgb-cz-responds) sometime ago.

I think he is just ranting because of this misunderstandings that happened in the above link or probably they might have had other issues yet to be disclose in the general public. 

This was not misunderstanding, it happened and dgb community was mad because of it. but it does not mean jared can talk it like this, spreading hate in social media will bring a negative impact for cryptocurrency. he should have acted as a grown and intellectual man, because he can be considered as a big guy in cryptocurrency.
what will other people think about cryptocurrency if one of its influencers like to speak hate like him?

Poloniex lost its popularity 2 years ago. He is late in supporting Bitcoin bifurcation. He didn't accept the new altcoins. Investors first went to Bittrex. Then Binance began to dominate the market. DGB was unfair!
