Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) revealed in an interview with US digital media The Free Press that he sold his apartment and jumped into the business in 2013 with conviction in blockchain. CZ said, "I decided not to miss the blockchain opportunity as much as I missed the internet era at the time, so I sold my apartment, left my job, and invested all my assets. I saw blockchain as a key technology for expanding financial accessibility and autonomy, and I have maintained a user-centric strategy from the beginning. We expanded our user base through a low-fee policy, and as a result, Binance has established itself as the world's largest exchange."
