🔸Changpeng Zhao (CZ) was born on January 1, 1977 in China, but fate led him to an amazing success story.
Having moved to Canada due to difficult times in his native country, Zhao began his expat life with part-time jobs at McDonald's and gas stations. ⛽️
However, Changpeng did not give up and continued to develop, successfully entering the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Montreal. He already realized then that he wanted to connect his fate with trading on the stock exchange. 📈📉
Zhao gained extensive experience working at various companies, including the NYSE and Bloomberg, where he took his first important steps towards success. At that time, he participated in the creation of a unique system for trading orders on the exchange and developed new solutions for traders.🚨
However, Zhao's true calling found him later, when he learned about Bitcoin in 2013.💰
This was the turning point, and he decided to invest his savings in cryptocurrencies, despite the instability of the market.
A truly inspiring moment was how Zhao responded to the Bitcoin price collapse by selling his house and investing in BTC at $600. His persistence and belief in cryptocurrencies led to the creation of his own exchange, Binance, in 2017.🔸
Binance was a revolutionary initiative, offering a user-centric approach to cryptocurrency exchange. They have made huge progress over the year, releasing their own BNB token, improving the user interface, and significantly reducing fees.
The result was not long in coming - Binance became the leading crypto exchange in the world. 🔥
Changpeng Zhao's success did not go unnoticed, and his fortune skyrocketed into the billions of dollars, making him one of the richest people in the world.
And I can’t help but insert my favorite quote here 🤑💰
