In the cryptocurrency world, there is a big shot named Zhao Changpeng. For those not in the crypto circle, this name might sound a bit unfamiliar. But did you know? Just last November, with a net worth of $90 billion, he defeated many big shots like Ma Huateng and became the richest Chinese person! Even more astonishing is that he achieved this super comeback from being a worker to a billionaire in just four years! So, how did he do it?
Before becoming a big shot, Zhao Changpeng actually lived an ordinary worker's life like most of us. He once fried fries at McDonald's, worked as a part-time coach at a football field, and even worked the night shift at a gas station. However, this ordinary life underwent a tremendous change during a card game in 2013.
That day, Zhao Changpeng overheard a friend talking about Bitcoin at the card table. At first, he might not have understood this new term very well, but after some exploration, he seemed to have found his wealth password. You should know that at that time, Bitcoin was extremely hot! If you bought Bitcoin for 30,000 yuan in 2012, you could become a millionaire a year later! This is no joke!
Zhao Changpeng was deeply attracted by the wealth legend of Bitcoin, and he decided to take a chance. To invest in Bitcoin, he even sold his property in Shanghai and put all his savings into it. You must know that owning a house in Shanghai is a dream for many people! But Zhao Changpeng chose Bitcoin without hesitation.
However, investing is like gambling; there are wins and losses. Zhao Changpeng's investment did not go as smoothly as he expected. A year later, housing prices in Shanghai doubled, while Bitcoin plummeted by 60%! Originally, a decent apartment ended up being unaffordable after Zhao Changpeng's operations.
Faced with such a predicament, most people might choose to cut their losses. But Zhao Changpeng did not do so. Even when he was losing heavily, he still clung tightly to the Bitcoin in his hands, refusing to let go.
So, what story will unfold next? How did Zhao Changpeng, after losing everything, become rich overnight and top the global list of Chinese billionaires?
To be honest, such a story sounds like a fairy tale, but Zhao Changpeng really did it! With his persistence and courage, he ultimately welcomed a new surge in Bitcoin. The value of the Bitcoin in his hands soared, making him a legendary figure in the crypto world.
Someone once asked Zhao Changpeng: 'If you were offered endless wealth but could never go home and were infamous, would you be willing to gamble?' For this question, Zhao Changpeng seemed to choose to accept the challenge without hesitation. Today, although his life is filled with twists and challenges, he still firmly walks the path he has chosen.
