In 2014, Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ and the founder of the Binance platform, decided to gamble everything he had. He sold his apartment for 900,000 dollars ๐ ๐ต, and put the entire amount into buying 1,500 bitcoins when the unit price was only about 600 dollars.
At that time, the decision didn't seem logical to many, and even his mother described him as the "silly boy" ๐ , thinking he had wasted his future.
But reality proved the exact opposite. Today, the value of that investment has reached over 167 million dollars ๐๐ช, while the value of the apartment he sold didn't exceed 1.5 million dollars ๐๏ธโ just crumbs compared to his current wealth.
That bold venture was the spark that ignited his massive project, the Binance platform, which became one of the largest cryptocurrency trading platforms in the world ๐๐.
