How much determination and courage does a person need to succeed?

In 2014, Zhao Changpeng made a bold decision. He sold his house in Shanghai and used the proceeds of 1.1 million yuan to buy Bitcoin. However, soon after, Shanghai housing prices doubled, while the value of Bitcoin fell to one-third of its original value. Although this was a risky and unfortunate choice in the eyes of the outside world, it also made Zhao Changpeng stand out in the currency circle.

In March of the same year, Zhao Changpeng met Xu Mingxing, the founder of the domestic Bitcoin exchange OKCoin, at an event, and joined OKCoin in June as technical director and responsible for the company's international affairs. However, less than a year later, he and OKCoin parted ways for some reasons.

But Zhao Changpeng was not discouraged. Instead, he founded the Binance exchange in July 2017. He quickly opened the exchange in just 11 days after successfully raising $15 million. As it turned out, Binance was enthusiastically sought after by users as soon as it was launched. Zhao Changpeng's story tells us that success often belongs to those who dare to take risks and pursue their dreams.
