<p>Something is happening, yesterday in reddit many people could not withdraw their funds or cancel their purchase orders .<br>
And the administrator (who is binance and usually solves the problems) erased the posts.And today for more than an hour they arent trading because they are "keeping the servers" without warning before.  What happened?</p>
