How tough does one have to be to succeed?
In 2014, Zhao Changpeng sold his house in Shanghai, raising 1.1 million yuan, all of which he invested in #Bitcoin . Shortly after, Shanghai housing prices doubled while Bitcoin plummeted to a third of its value. Despite this rollercoaster, Zhao gained recognition in the cryptocurrency world.
In March 2014, during an event, Zhao met Xu Mingxing, founder of the domestic Bitcoin exchange OKCoin. By June, Zhao joined OKCoin as CTO, also overseeing the company's international affairs.
Less than a year later, Zhao parted ways with OKCoin.
In July 2017, he founded #Binance . Just 11 days after raising $15 million in public funding, the exchange launched. It quickly gained immense popularity among users. 🚀
