Binance Concerns: 

• Still a relatively low number of listed coins compared to Bittrex and Poloniex.
• Voting for the next coin costs BNB, why should users pay to give their opinion about which coin should be listed next? It would be reasonable to ask the founders of a coin to pay for the listing, but I do not find payment by the voters relevant.

Conclusion

Binance is one of the fastest growing crypto exchanges in China. Exchanges have been banned in China for now but this also happened in the USA for the first exchanges. If there is a reversal of these Chinese laws we can expect Binance the exchange and Binance the coin to boom in value. Even if there is no reversal in-laws, with time and lack of incidents Binance will mature into becoming a trustworthy exchange.
