1. New to Canada: The Ambitious Teen in McDonald's Kitchen
Close your eyes and imagine yourself at 16. You just immigrated to Canada, starting from scratch. The language here is unfamiliar, the culture vastly different, and life is full of challenges. To help with household expenses, you fry fries at McDonald's and work night shifts at a gas station. In the quiet of the night, exhausted, you look up at the sky and silently ask, 'Is this my life?'
Every morning when you wake up, you silently remind yourself: 'No, I want much more than this.' That desire to change your fate is like a flame buried deep in your heart, although weak, it has never been extinguished.
2. Programming Enlightenment: Finding Direction in the World of Code
Later, you successfully enrolled in a computer science program at university. From the first time you encountered code, those numbers and logic seemed to flow like a river in your mind. You found that programming is not just a skill, but a tool that brings clarity to chaos and turns ideas into reality.
After graduation, you got a coveted opportunity: to develop a trading system for the Tokyo Stock Exchange. There, you experienced the world of high-frequency trading for the first time, and the power of fintech fascinated you. At that time, you may not have realized that the future would tightly bind 'finance' and 'technology' together.
3. Going All In: Bitcoin Makes You Bet Your Life
The year is 2013, and that's when you first heard the word 'Bitcoin'. At first, you thought it was just a toy for tech geeks, but as you delved deeper, your intuition told you: this is a revolution that could fundamentally change the traditional financial world.
Despite the doubts of friends and family, who said, 'This is just a scam,' you resolutely decided to sell your only house and invest all your savings in Bitcoin. You told yourself, 'If I don't take this gamble, I might regret it for the rest of my life.'
Every night back then, you stared at the price fluctuations of Bitcoin, your heart racing with the market's ups and downs. In those agonizing moments, you kept telling yourself, 'This is not gambling; this is the future.'
4. Founding Binance: A 72-Hour Crazy Sprint
In 2017, the cryptocurrency craze swept the globe. By then, you had accumulated enough industry knowledge and resources, so you decided to take one last gamble: to found your own exchange, Binance.
From project initiation to platform launch, you led your team to complete core code development in 72 hours. During those days, you hardly slept, and team members survived on coffee and adrenaline. In that small office, the sound of keyboards clattering was like music, and everyone knew this was a historic moment.
After launching, Binance skyrocketed, becoming the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world within six months. This speed and scale shocked the entire industry. You finally stood at the peak of the crypto world, but you also knew this was just the beginning.
5. Facing Challenges: Firm Belief Against the Wind
As you became an industry giant, you also bore unprecedented pressure. From global regulatory scrutiny to hacker attacks, and the baptism of a bear market... every difficulty felt like waves trying to knock down your ship.
But whenever you felt exhausted, you would recall those nights at the gas station, remember the dream of frying fries, and tell yourself, 'This is a long-term battle; the greater the challenge, the greater the opportunity.'
