8 years ago, a guy sold his house and bet all his money on crypto.
➻ The money he put in had no guarantees and no roadmap it was just his belief.
➻ That guy was CZ, one of our favorite super active legends.
➻ And the thing he built is known today as…
Binance
➻ One of the biggest crypto exchanges in the world.
➻ But I am not posting this just to celebrate a birthday.
This is a pure reminder of how far crazy conviction can take you.
➻ We all can learn from his past how to grow in life when everyone else doubts you.
➻ When CZ started Binance in 2017, nobody thought it would work.
➻ Regulations were unclear
➻ The most important thing trust was low and Exchanges were seen as risky plays.
➻ But he didn’t care.
➻ He launched anyway.
➻ Built anyway.
➻ And kept going when most people would’ve folded.
➻ Introduced @BNBCHAIN, Binance Wallet, Binance Alpha etc.
And it doesn't end here.
➻ Let me tell you in short what Binance has achieved so far:
➻ 280M+ users
➻ $125 trillion in trading volume
➻ $BNB did a 5000x
➻ $70B+ paid to users via Earn & Launchpools
➻ Binance Pay serving 45M+ people
➻ He stepped down last year.
➻ But even after all that Binance is still standing tall.
➻ Because this was never just about one man.
➻ It was about building something bigger than yourself.
➻ Something the whole industry could stand on.
➻ Binance isn’t just an exchange anymore, It’s part of our crypto foundation.
➻ So if you’re feeling lost in this market just remember:
someone once sold everything to build the rails we’re all riding on today.
➻ Happy 8 years, @binance 💛
➻ Let’s see what the next chapter brings.
➻ And don’t forget the real support from the main leaders of Binance 👇

Keep building, CZ — THE LEGEND.
