CZ's "rumor-busting" behavior puts himself in a logical dilemma.
#cz喊单
It is known that CZ posted a long tweet discussing a certain currency and directly attached a purchase link for the currency. Later, CZ stated that he did not call for orders for this project. Based on the above information, the following two possibilities can be deduced:
A. Assuming that CZ is telling the truth and did not call for orders → This means that CZ is "stupid" because he is completely unaware of the market effect of posting a tweet with a purchase link with his influence and status. As an experienced industry leader, this "ignorance" is obviously unconvincing.
B. Assuming that CZ is lying, he did call for orders → This means that CZ is "bad" because he knew that his tweet would trigger market follow-up, but he still chose to post it, and tried to cover up his true intentions by refuting rumors afterwards. This behavior not only lacks integrity, but may also mislead the market.
If CZ chooses not to refute the rumor, at most the call for orders will fail, and the negative impact is relatively limited. However, after he chose to refute the rumor, he fell into a logical self-proving trap: whether he was telling the truth or a lie, it would lead to negative comments. If it was true, it showed that he lacked judgment; If it was a lie, it exposed his dishonesty.
Summary: CZ's rumor-refuting behavior not only failed to solve the problem, but also intensified the public's doubts about him. Whether it was "stupid" or "bad", this move made his situation more embarrassing.
