A growing coalition of supporters is launching a bank run targeting XMR and BCH today, aiming to challenge alleged short-selling tactics by exchanges. This coordinated move focuses on removing assets from custodial platforms to boost peer-to-peer cash transactions.
The BCH community is pushing back against what they describe as unfair short-selling by exchanges, particularly Binance. With ongoing concerns about Binance's transparency regarding its BCH reserves, skepticism among traders has reached new heights.
Participants encourage users to withdraw their coins from exchanges, stressing the importance of self-custodial wallets. A particularly vocal participant remarked, "This sets the standard for cryptocurrency projects," emphasizing the need for secure asset management in the face of market manipulation.
Skepticism Over Previous Attempts: Some community members voiced doubts about the effectiveness of this approach, suggesting it could be just another cycle of disappointmentβ"This has never worked probably because itβs the 40th time. Quality over quantity friends."
Active Participation: Despite the skepticism, enthusiasm persists among participants who consistently engage in buying and holding XMR and BCH. One stated, "Lol I mine and sell hundreds of dollars worth of XMR every month, does that count? π" This shows varied levels of involvement in the community.
Peer-to-Peer Mission: Advocates emphasize the urgency of withdrawing assets from exchanges, considering it a crucial step to safeguard against manipulation. The post noted, "We can have both, letβs get both XMR and BCH coins off exchanges"
"NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR COINS!"
The bank run takes place on the 1st and 15th of each month, mirroring previous community efforts like those seen with GME. Participants are encouraged to buy XMR or BCH from any exchange and withdraw to self-custodial wallets during the designated time window, ideally between 0:00 - 23:59 UTC.
With a scheduled bank run and increasing community enthusiasm, exchanges like Binance might face pressing liquidity challenges. Many participants are determined to increase their self-held assets, which could influence market dynamics significantly.
As the clock ticks towards the first bank run of June, all eyes are on community action. While concerns about previous attempts linger, the sentiment is clear: reclaiming control of these cryptocurrencies is paramount.
