The founder of a top cryptocurrency exchange #Binance, a man who went from being an unknown to the richest Chinese in four years! A gambler with the highest net worth of#500billion, selling his house to make a top-notch bet! An investor with no fixed place to live!

Today we will tell you about his life story

Changpeng Zhao, a person who does not need much introduction in the cryptocurrency circle, was listed as the "richest man in cryptocurrency" by Forbes Magazine in February 2018, and his net worth exceeded $1.39 billion in May 2018. And the story of everything starts in 1977.

That year, along the Blue River in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing, one of the most important sons of this land was born there.

In the late 1980s, Changpeng Zhao moved to Vancouver, Canada with his family. His father was a professor in China who was later labeled a "pro-bourgeois intellectual" and expelled from the country. In his teenage years, Zhao Changpeng worked a series of hard and poorly paid jobs as an employee at McDonald's and a gas station. But the boy with extraordinary intelligence and vision eventually stood out, and he later attended McGill University in Montreal, Canada, majoring in computer science.

…………

In 2013, Zhao Changpeng learned about Bitcoin from a venture capitalist who played poker with him, and he began to run back and forth between various important cryptocurrency projects. He joined Blockchain.info as the third member of the cryptocurrency wallet team, and as the development director for 8 months, he worked closely with well-known Bitcoin evangelists Roger Ver and Ben Reeves. He also served as the chief technology officer of OKCoin, a spot trading platform between digital assets, for less than a year.

From here, Zhao Changpeng continued to achieve victories and honors. His life was filled with teaching, sacrifice, love and passion!

In July 2017, he founded Binance, opening the exchange 11 days after raising $15 million in its ICO. The platform proved to be popular with users almost immediately. At its peak a few months ago, it was trading as much as $11 billion a day.
