Hear Your Stories, Share Your Own- #BinanceTurns8 Series Episode 1

Hear Your Stories, Share Your Own- #BinanceTurns8 Series Episode 1
Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, marked its 8th anniversary with a vibrant Twitter Spaces session titled Hear Your Stories, Share Your Own – #BinanceTurns8 Series Episode 1. Hosted by Binance Community Associates Diana and Mila, the event featured: Anndy Lian, a blockchain expert and best-selling author, and Sjuul Follings, founder of AltCryptoGems. The session offered a deep dive into Binance’s transformative impact, current market trends fueled by Bitcoin’s recent all-time highs, and practical advice for navigating the ever-evolving crypto landscape. With an engaging Q&A segment, the event also highlighted the voices of the Binance community, making it a fitting celebration of eight years of innovation and growth.
Binance’s Monumental Contributions to Crypto

Over the past eight years, Binance has evolved from a fledgling startup into a global powerhouse, boasting over 280 million users. The discussion kicked off with reflections on its pivotal role in shaping the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Sjuul Follings emphasized Binance’s success in onboarding new users, crediting its intuitive platform and robust educational resources. “Binance has made crypto easier for newcomers,” he noted, highlighting how the exchange has lowered barriers to entry since its early days in 2017. He also praised initiatives like Binance Labs, which have incubated groundbreaking blockchain projects, fostering innovation across the industry.

Anndy Lian, drawing from his long-standing relationship with Binance since its inception in China, underscored its leadership in security and compliance. He pointed to Binance’s pioneering efforts in collaborating with authorities to combat crypto-related crimes, a move that has bolstered user trust. “They were one of the first exchanges to build a comprehensive compliance department,” Lian said, noting how this focus on safety has distinguished Binance in a competitive market, from its strategic relocations, China to Japan, then Singapore to the UAE. Binance has consistently adapted, solidifying its position as a trailblazer.
Riding the Wave: Current Market Trends
With Bitcoin soaring to new all-time highs, recently surpassing $120,000, the session naturally turned to the state of the crypto market. Sjuul Follings observed a shifting dynamic, where altcoins are beginning to reclaim attention after Bitcoin’s prolonged dominance. “It feels like altcoins are finally getting a piece of the pie,” he said, predicting a potential rotation from Bitcoin to high-cap altcoins like Ethereum, and eventually to mid- and low-cap projects. He attributed Bitcoin’s surge to a combination of macroeconomic factors, including Federal Reserve rate cuts, institutional investments via ETFs, and easing inflation, which created a snowball effect of adoption and media buzz.
Anndy Lian, however, injected a note of caution. While celebrating the bullish momentum, he stressed that sustainable growth hinges on real-world development, not just speculation. “The price is running faster than the builders,” he warned, urging the community to support projects with tangible use cases. He cited examples like Bhutan’s collaboration with Binance Pay, the world’s first national crypto tourism payment system, as a model for practical adoption, enabling travelers to use cryptocurrency for flights, visas, and even coffee.
Guidance for New Investors
For the wave of newcomers entering the space amid this bull run, both speakers emphasized education and caution. Sjuul Follings shared a personal anecdote from his early days, describing his first crypto experience as “painful” after losing money on memecoins. “Start small, lose a little, and learn from it,” he advised, stressing the importance of transparency about the risks. He encouraged creators to highlight both the opportunities and pitfalls, ensuring new investors aren’t deterred by early setbacks.
Anndy Lian echoed this sentiment, advocating for due diligence over hype-chasing. “Find projects you trust and believe in,” he said, reflecting on his own journey from skepticism to conviction when he first used crypto to buy coffee. He also called for more builders to drive sustainable value, warning that without development, the current boom could falter. Both speakers agreed that Binance’s educational efforts—through content and user-friendly tools—play a critical role in equipping novices to thrive.
Community Voices: Q&A Highlights
The session’s open mic segment brought the Binance community into the spotlight, with listeners sharing stories and posing questions. One participant, Ahmed, asked about the speakers’ mining experiences. Sjuul admitted to dabbling in Dogecoin mining early on but losing access to the coins, while Anndy noted he’s invested in mining operations but avoids it personally due to high electricity costs.
A question about their biggest mistakes elicited candid responses. Sjuul reflected on losses from the Luna crash and a recent scam, underscoring the need for skepticism: “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.” Community member Ming, from the Captain BNB community, inquired how Binance could expand into Western markets like the U.S. Anndy suggested closer collaboration with Binance and a push into Asia to broaden their footprint, encouraging the team to leverage their mascot’s appeal.
The philosophical query, “What moment made you believe in crypto?” drew heartfelt answers. For Sjuul, it was the 2021 bull run, when crypto’s mainstream visibility, from Formula 1 sponsorships to bus ads, convinced him of its staying power. Anndy pinpointed the moment he used crypto for everyday purchases, realizing its practical potential beyond finance.

Looking Ahead: Binance’s Role and Community Wisdom

As Binance steps into its ninth year, the speakers offered strategic feedback. Anndy proposed enhancing services for high-net-worth clients with relationship managers and a premium “Binance Black Card,” alongside a stronger focus on Web3 and decentralized exchanges (DEX). “DEX is the future,” he asserted, urging Binance to lead in this space to onboard users globally, especially those unable to access centralized platforms due to KYC barriers. Sjuul, unable to use Binance in the Netherlands due to licensing, suggested prioritizing regional compliance to recapture markets and recommended more engaging, educational content to attract new users.

Their parting words encapsulated their philosophies. Sjuul advised, “No one ever went broke by taking profits,” encouraging prudent gains-taking. Anndy countered, “Trust is the new hype,” urging conviction over crowd-following. Mila, reflecting on Binance’s journey, highlighted adaptability as a key lesson, noting how listening to users and pivoting swiftly has kept the platform ahead.
Summing Up
The #BinanceTurns8 Twitter Spaces session was a celebration of milestones and a forward-looking dialogue on crypto’s trajectory. From Binance’s role in onboarding millions and setting security standards to the market’s bullish surge and the need for sustainable growth, Anndy Lian and Sjuul Follings provided a roadmap for the future.
As Bitcoin scales new heights and adoption accelerates—evidenced by innovations like Binance Pay in Bhutan, the insights shared here underscore the importance of education, caution, and community in building a resilient crypto ecosystem. With Binance at the helm, the following billion users may well find their gateway to this transformative space.

SUSHI / BTC prediction: SushiSwap showing signs of life despite shrinking exchange market share

SUSHI / BTC prediction: SushiSwap showing signs of life despite shrinking exchange market share

SUSHI is well poised to see growth. These are the additional comments that I have.

Let’s track back to around two weeks ago. GoldenTree Asset Management has invested $5.3 million into SUSHI governance token. During that period of time, investors were all excited about the news. Social media mentions spiked to around 0.851%. They gained 14% in 24 hours back then.

5 days ago, we saw a plunge of around 20% when they announced their newly appointed CEO, Jared Grey. He was being accused of being involved in a couple of scam projects and once sexually assaulted a horse. The token price went down to around $1.0962 at that point. Jared has since written his statement and shared it on his personal Medium page to address all the allegations. The token has since traded higher to $1.51 this morning.

All these price movements are driven by news and this is no way sustainable. The need for SUSHI to continue to build, find new niches and new products are important for its growth. SushiSwap started with a “vampire attack” if you remember, it has drawn so much attention back then, personally I hope to see that kind of drive back to the platform.

Retail investors got to know this. In order for SUSHI to grow, SushiSwap got to continue growing in popularity. As much as I believe decentralised exchanges are the way forward, the competition is very high and it is ever changing. SUSHI or not, it all depends on how strong your team is. I look forward to their new developments.

SUSHI / BTC prediction: SushiSwap showing signs of life despite shrinking exchange market share

 

Since facing major losses in the crypto winter of 2022 cryptocurrencies have been struggling to resurface. Bitcoin (BTC) is down by 70% since its November 2021 highs while SushiSwap’s SUSHI fell by 94% since its all-time high of 14 March 2021, as of 21 October.

How do the two tokens trade against each other and what does the SUSHI to BTC forecast suggest amid the current bear market? Here we take  a look at the SUSHI/BTC pair and some of the factors that may shape its exchange rate.

What is SUSHI/BTC?

SUSHI/BTC is the exchange rate between SUSHI, the native cryptocurrency of the decentralised exchange (DEX) platform SushiSwap, and BTC, the native coin of the Bitcoin Network.

Joerg Hansen, Caiz Development GMbh’s CEO, told Capital.com that the SUSHI to BTC value is calculated in the same way that a fixed exchange rate is calculated and is based on the rates of up to 100 exchanges.

Bitcoin is the pioneer cryptocurrency launched in 2009 by a creator or group of creators using the anonymous nickname Satoshi Nakamoto. BTC is built, distributed, exchanged and stored on a collective network known as a blockchain, and the token is used for peer-to-peer payments.

The cryptocurrency is secured by a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, which is how new bitcoins are mined. Miners gain BTC as rewards for solving mathematical equations that confirm whether a BTC transaction is legitimate.

Approximately every four years or once every 210,000 mined BTC blocks, the blockchain goes through a halving event, which is when the rewards given to miners are cut in half, decreasing the amount of bitcoins in circulation.

SushiSwap is a decentralised finance (DeFi) platform that aims to solve what it describes to be “the inability of disparate forms of liquidity to connect with markets in a decentralized way”. It creates automated liquidity pools through which anyone can swap a crypto token based on the ERC-20 Ethereum protocol for another ERC-20 token.

The platform’s Japanese food-themed ecosystem was launched in 2020 by an anonymous creator who calls themself Chef Nomi. The software is running on the Ethereum blockchain, and is often compared to other similar platforms like Uniswap (UNI) and Balancer (BAL).

SushiSwap uses a number of products to achieve full liquidity and decentralisation, and allows users to exchange, earn, lend and borrow digital assets, stack yields and leverage funds. In addition, SushiSwap has smart contract capabilities, which means it also supports the creation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

SUSHI coins are rewarded to users for maintaining liquidity on the platform. They can also be used for staking and governance.

SUSHI has a maximum supply of 150 million coins. Meanwhile, BTC’s maximum supply is capped at 21 million.

SUSHI to BTC price history

The SUSHI to BTC exchange rate surged by more than 235% in the first four days following its launch, up from 0.0002201BTC on 19 August 2020 to 0.0007436BTC, its all-time high. The SUSHI value in USD surged by 250%.

The SUSHI/BTC price chart shows that SUSHI was quick to dip against BTC as the exchange rate’s value lost over 95% of its gains in the following months, down to 0.00003331BTC by mid-November 2020.

SUSHI to BTC price chart, 2020 – 2022

At the start of 2021, SUSHI/BTC jumped 317.5% from 0.0001001BTC on 8 January 2021 to 0.0004179BTC on 5 February 2021, in line with a hike in the SUSHI price in USD as the platform announced the launch of MISO, a suit of open-source smart contracts.

SUSHI to USD price chart, 2020 – 2022

The bull trend in the SUSHI to BTC price chart lasted for the following five months and by 19 May 2021 the exchange rate reached 0.0005008BTC, up by 19.8% as the SUSHI ecosystem became compatible with the Polygon blockchain.

Following the positive trend, SUSHI/BTC fell by 60.2% down to 0.0001994BTC by 26 June 2021 and continued to fluctuate for the following four months seeing minor losses and gains.

By 16 September 2021, SUSHI/BTC reached 0.0003152BTC but within a month fell by 40%. Around this time, the BTC value in USD was picking up the momentum, surging by around 55% to reach its all-time high of $64,158.12 on 13 November 2021, up from $41,551.27 at the end of September 2021.

The SUSHI to BTC exchange rate continued to further decline and reached 0.0001069BTC by the beginning of December 2021. By the end of the month, the rate surged by 103% to 0.0002174BTC as the platform launched a migration to the Optics V2 bridge, but the trend was short lived.

In line with recent negative market sentiment, SUSHI/BTC has lost over 65% of its value with the pairing’s current exchange rate trading at  0.00006957BTC as of 21 October.

Caiz Deveopment’s Hansen noted that in terms of technical analysis, the SUSHI/BTC price is struggling:

“Based on technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and important simple and exponential moving averages, SUSHI is currently in neutral territory and Bitcoin in a bearish one, which suggests that now is a bad time to exchange Sushi for Bitcoin.”

News driving SUSHI/BTC

At the start of October, Golden Tree Asset Management announced that it will stake $5.3m into SUSHI. Anndy Lian, chief digital advisor at the Mongolian Productivity Organisation and author of NFT: From Zero to Hero, told Capital.com that the announcement sparked enthusiasm in the online SUSHI community, but the hype was short-lived. Lian explained:

“Five days ago, we saw a plunge of around 20% when [SUSHI] announced their newly appointed CEO, Jared Grey. He was being accused of being involved in a couple of scam projects and once sexually assaulting a horse. The token price went down to around $1.0962 at that point,” Lian noted.

On 11 October, a Twitter user under the handle YannickCrypto alleged in a series of tweets that Grey was involved in a series of scam projects between 2012 and 2020. The user added that they met Grey in 2019. Other users chimed in, alleging that the CEO had also engaged in bestiality with a horse.

Grey addressed the scam allegations, saying they were “100% untrue”. But SUSHI did not resurface.

Caiz Deveopment’s Hansen told Capital.com that “sharply rising interest rates” have also been “poisonous” for the SUSHI to BTC exchange rate, as well as the declining trading volumes on cryptocurrency exchanges. He noted:

“Another important reason is the huge competition in the crypto exchanges. Since the bitcoin peak, the volume of the exchanges has fallen up to 60% this year. You can see a clear decline in crypto exchanges and coins like SUSHI because you don’t earn as much in fees at the moment.”

SUSHI/BTC forecast for 2022, 2023 and beyond

Based on the analysis of past performance, as of 21 October, the algorithm-based forecasting service Wallet Investor predicted that SUSHI/USD could fall to $0.0663 in 2023. The platform did not provide a price prediction for 2027.

In terms of its BTC price forecast, the site saw BTC/USD trade at $25,101.65 in 2023 and reach $46,783.81 by 2027.

While Wallet Investor did not provide a direct SUSHI to BTC forecast, data suggested that the exchange rate could be 0.0000025098BTC in 2023.

DigitalCoinPrice predicted that SHIB/USD could rise to $1.63 by the end of 2022. The site’s data, as of 21 October, showed that the coin was expected to trade at $2.18  in 2023 and $3.49  in 2025. Its long-term prediction saw the coin reaching $7.32 in 2030.

The site also gave an upbeat BTC/USD forecast, expecting the coin to grow to $24,108.19 by the end of 2022, $31,466.60 in 2023, $49,830.68 in 2025 and surpass $105,000 in 2030.

DigitalCoinPrice’s SUSHI to BTC forecast for 2022 expected the pair to reach 0.0000676119BTC and 0.0000692798BTC in 2023. The site’s SUSHI/BTC forecast for 2025 stood at 0.0000700372BTC. Its long-term SUSHI/BTC forecast for 2030 was 0.0000697143BTC.

Hansenalso  gave a bullish SUSHI to BTC price outlook:

“In my opinion, the SUSHI/BTC price will climb beyond what we have seen so far, mainly because of its popularity and resilience despite it being around since the beginning stages of DeFi.”

In order for SUSHI to regain past losses, the platform must continue to develop and “find new niches and new products”, Lian said. He added:

“SushiSwap started with a ‘vampire attack’ if you remember, it has drawn so much attention back then…As much as I believe decentralised exchanges are the way forward, the competition is very high and it is ever changing. SUSHI or not, it all depends on how strong your team is. ”

Remember that analysts’ and algorithm-based predictions can be wrong and shouldn’t be used as a substitute for your own research.

Always conduct your own due diligence on a cryptocurrency project before trading, looking at the latest news, a wide range of analyst commentary and technical analysis. Note that past performance does not guarantee future returns. And never trade money you cannot afford to lose.
