My question is do they intentionally cause the "withdrawl issues" as a customer retention war tactic? They know everyone will flip to Binance where liquidity is through the roof as well as price as a result of demand. If they watch the outflow of coins from their exchanges they know they are in trouble.

Look at Kucoin who at December was gaining crazy ground in the exchange competition to all of a sudden lose the battle overnight. They just reoppened their customer acquisition referral payments to try to pull people back again. The other exchanges are in trouble...

We're at the point where it's going to be Binance, or a new, decentralized exchange will be on it's way.
