How much determination does a person need to succeed?

In 2014, Zhao Changpeng made a bold decision - he sold his property in Shanghai and invested all the 1.1 million yuan he got into buying Bitcoin. Unfortunately, the housing prices in Shanghai doubled, while the price of Bitcoin fell to one-third of its original price. Although the investment did not seem to be successful in the short term, this bold move made Zhao Changpeng famous in the cryptocurrency field.

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, Zhao Changpeng left OKCoin less than a year after joining.

In July 2017, Zhao Changpeng founded Binance. The exchange officially opened 11 days after completing the public offering of $15 million. As it turned out, Binance quickly gained the favor of users and became a very popular platform.
