In the fast-changing and serious world of cryptocurrencies, the story of Binance Coin (BNB) is not without some amusing and strange situations that have become part of its culture and community. These situations range from inside jokes initiated by its founder to surprising paradoxes.
'4': The humorous code to combat fear and doubt
One of the most famous amusing situations related to BNB is the 'Meme of the Number 4' created by the founder and former CEO of the Binance platform, Changpeng Zhao, known as 'CZ'. The story began when CZ published a list of his goals for 2023, with the fourth item on his list being 'Ignore Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt (FUD), Fake News, and Attacks'.
This item quickly turned into a widely circulated 'meme' in the cryptocurrency community. CZ began to simply tweet the number '4' in his posts on X (formerly Twitter) in response to any negative news or rumors targeting Binance or the crypto market in general. The community responded to this amusing gesture, and they began to use the number '4' as a symbol to express confidence and ignore negative noise, transforming a serious communication strategy into an inside joke and a recurring funny situation.
The Paradox of the 'Richest Prisoner in the World'
In one of the strangest paradoxes in the history of cryptocurrencies, CZ found himself in a legally unenviable position, but it was striking from a financial perspective. During the period leading up to his serving time in a federal prison in the United States, the price of BNB saw a significant rise.
This skyrocketing increase in the value of the cryptocurrency, in which CZ holds a significant stake, has greatly increased his wealth while behind bars. Media outlets and the crypto community have shared this news with irony and astonishment, dubbing him the 'Richest Prisoner in America' or even 'in the World'. It was a strange moment that embodies the unpredictable and volatile nature of the digital asset world, where someone's wealth can multiply significantly even in the darkest personal circumstances.
Amusing glitches and unexpected anthems
Away from its founder, BNB and its environment have witnessed some strange events. At one point, Binance app users were surprised when the interface language randomly switched to Chinese, causing a wave of confusion and amusing posts on social media before the technical glitch was fixed.
Among the unusual situations is the emergence of songs on music platforms titled 'BNB Anthem'. While they are not official anthems, their existence reflects the extent to which cryptocurrency culture has permeated unexpected aspects of popular creativity, which is both strange and amusing.
These situations, ranging from the amusing to the strange, add a human touch to the world of complex numbers and charts, illustrating how digital communities can create their own culture filled with anecdotes and unexpected stories.
