Many of you would have known @CZ as the face of Binance
But did you know how it all started ?
Let’s take a short journey back in time as a tribute to one of the greatest legends in crypto! 🫡
It all started when CZ got gifted his first computer by his Dad in 1990 costing around $7000.
During his teenage years in Canada, Zhao helped to support his family by holding down a number of service jobs, including working as a fast-food clerk at a McDonald's restaurant and a gas station, while doing this Zhao attended McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, where he majored in computer science.
In 2005, he moved back to China, eventually owning an apartment in Shanghai. In 2015, he sold his Shanghai apartment and used the funds to purchase Bitcoin.
So how did he end up leading the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world ?
This is thanks to CZ’s drive, grit, and initiative, which extends to the entire team, which is now 1,000+ strong and spread out in more than 40 countries, serving 180+ territories around the world.
He launched Binance through a $15 million ICO
In just six months after its launch, Binance jumped to No. 1 in the crypto exchange rankings, and it stays in that position to this day.
with the launch of BNB Smart Chain, the emergence of Binance Futures as a leading derivatives trading platform, and many more services.
In April 2019, Binance launched Binance Smart Chain, which has smart contract functionality and is an Ethereum competitor.
In February 2018, Forbes placed him third on their list of "The Richest People In Cryptocurrency, with an estimated net worth of $1.1-2 billion.
