Binary Thinking

Phrase. Denotes a system of thought that predominantly considers things in an "either, or", "right, wrong", "black, white" way, ignoring any subtleties or consideration of third or more alternatives.

In philosophy, this is know as a "bifurcation fallacy".

People who habitually think in this way are usually fairly unintelligent and unimaginative.

Binero

Binero is worthless paper Monero held on Binance and other centralized exchanges. Not backed 1:1 by actual Monero on the blockchain as only a fraction of deposits are backed by actual Monero and available for withdrawal. Remember, if you don't hold your Monero in your own private wallet, you don't own Monero. Not your keys; not your Monero.
