Gate's collapse resets the lower limit of the crypto circle—why is choice more important than effort?
The Gate incident is a tragedy for all Web3 workers.
An old employee who has worked for four years was scolded three times by the boss over a minor disagreement, then forcibly kicked out of Lark, not allowed to hand over tasks, HR treated coldly, and compensation promises unsurprisingly fell through.
How bad can the treatment of Gate employees be?
Can you believe it? A full-time worker earning 5000 RMB is still being PUA'd every day: 'You need to have a fighting spirit'?
This is not a modern company at all; this is a slave workshop packaged as a modern company.
Would you dare to give KYC, wallet permissions, to a team with this salary level?
This is not an exchange; this is a breeding ground for gray operations.
Gate doesn't want to ensure safety; it simply doesn't regard people as human.
At the same time as working hard at Gate, some people quietly achieve financial freedom.
Many people don't know that early Binance employees were paid directly in BNB.
Back then, 1 BNB was only $20 to $30, but those who held it saw it rise to over $700 in 2021; after one bull market, A8s and A9s were everywhere.
Why is there such a big gap among exchanges?
Because Binance knows very clearly:
To build the industry leader, you must first make employees wealthy.
And Gate only wants its employees to shut up and work, not to cause trouble or defend their rights.
Binance not only treats its employees well, but also has a broader vision for its users.
Think carefully:
$BNB early users, those who hold numerous coins, even if just holding $BNB without moving it, just hodl it, can lie back and enjoy the wealth effect in one bull market after another.
Although Binance is not perfect, at least it dares to think, dare to act, and dare to share the wealth.
Gate won't even guarantee the most basic labor rights, not even 5000 RMB.
How can you expect it to be responsible for users, for the industry, for the future?
Essentially, the reason Binance is Binance is not luck, but vision.
There is a truth in investing: the essence of investing is investing in people.
CZ once said: 'Don’t fight the industry.'
While all exchanges are busy trying to recruit new users,
He is confronting the Democrats, leading lawsuits, and helping the entire industry survive and create a future.
It is precisely CZ's spirit of 'keep building' and willingness to be responsible for users that makes Binance the only industry leader in web3 history that has lasted for countless years.
Today Binance is the industry leader, and tomorrow Binance will still be the industry leader. I believe that Binance will continue to be the leader in the future.
He is the last idealist in the crypto circle.
He is the only one who still remembers that he 'is the industry leader.'
You can say he is conservative, you can say he is old-fashioned, you can say he doesn't like memes.
But only CZ is still seriously doing things, doing the right things, and keeping building.
In this industry filled with gray operations, cutting韭菜, and rug pulls, being with the right people is more important than hard work.
Choosing CZ and Binance means choosing the side that is willing to take responsibilities, dare to enter the market, and has an idealistic spirit.
You chose Gate? Sorry, the boss directly scolded you three times with 'F*** you', and you still have to defend your rights yourself.
Imagine if this friend had joined Binance when entering the industry, how far would they have gone by now?
