Changpeng Zhao (@CZ) just revealed something wild…
Back in 2014, he SOLD his $900,000 Shanghai apartment — and went ALL IN on Bitcoin around $400.
No stable job.
No safety net.
Just belief.
Let that sink in.
📖 CZ first discovered Bitcoin in 2013.
He didn’t jump blindly. He spent 6 months studying the whitepaper, talking to early adopters, and understanding the tech.
But by the time he was fully convinced…
Bitcoin had already exploded from $70 to over $1,000.
Most people would’ve said, “I missed it.”
CZ waited.
Then the crash came.
Bitcoin dropped hard toward $400 in early 2014.
That’s when CZ made his move.
He sold his apartment.
Averaged around $600 at first.
Kept buying as it dropped further.
💡 CONVICTION > COMFORT
At that time, he had already decided to leave his traditional career path.
Instead of chasing job security, he chased innovation.
He believed Bitcoin was like the early internet —
A once-in-a-generation technological shift.
He saw asymmetric risk:
Limited downside.
Massive long-term upside.
🚀 From Risk Taker to Binance Founder
Years later, in 2017, CZ founded Binance.
What started as early experimentation in crypto exchanges turned into the world’s largest trading platform.
That $900K decision?
One of the boldest executive-level bets in Bitcoin history.
This is what early conviction looks like.
Would you sell everything for what you believe in?
