From "Stupid Kid" to Crypto LegendIn 2014, Changpeng Zhao — now famously known as the founder of Binance — made a bold move that raised eyebrows and drew laughs. He sold his apartment for 1,500 BTC when each Bitcoin was trading at just $600. His mother, watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but call him a “stupid kid” for trading bricks for bytes. Fast forward to today: those 1,500 BTC are worth over $167 million. The same apartment? It’s valued at only $1.5 million. CZ didn’t just bet on Bitcoin — he bet on the future. And he was right. Sometimes, it takes a little crazy to make history.
