There are many in the cryptocurrency community who often criticize the year-end lists, but recently Coindesk appointed Binance's CEO, Changpeng Zhao, as # 1 Cryptocurrency influencer in the world. While there will always be those who are not in agreement, one could definitely argue that the position is well deserved.
Zhao is the CEO of the world's largest daily cryptocurrency exchange, and has also aggressively expanded in 2018, a year when many criptovalute and blockchain startups have been forced to shut down. Coindesk also took the opportunity to sit down with Zhao and discuss the markets and his thoughts in general.
Persistent and innovative
One of the points that the article does is that Zhao has not always been considered a high-level cryptocurrant influencer by any means. In fact, he was associated with OkCoin, an exchange of cryptocurrencies based in China, and actually spent his time later in a kind of exile before founding Binance.
An interesting quote came from Jehan Chu of Kenetic Capital, who actually transmitted the huge opportunity to invest in Binance soon. He admitted that this was the wrong decision, stating: "What has worked very well is its ability to adapt to the evolving market and to invent the kind of innovations that the market did not even know it wanted to be.They were the first to invent an exchange token. awesome of CZ: his vision of simply trying different things, iterating and then performing ".
Current thoughts
Much of the interview was discussing Zhao's thoughts outside the cryptocurrency markets. For example, he stressed that he believed at the same time that laws were necessary but that he also believed in freedom. For example, he said: "I think we need the rules for society to work well, but at the same time, they are also very much driven by freedom, I think we can increase the level of freedom."
The appeal of Zhao is now known globally, and is now called "CZ" by the entire global cryptocurrency community. Many have said that his appeal goes beyond the traditional financial sector, but also addresses those who are still skeptical about cryptocurrencies in general. It also seems full of surprises, too get a tattoo recently to represent his dedication to Binance.
Ultimately, the interview seemed to suggest that "CZ" has just begun. He says: "I hope one day I can be as influential as Elon Musk".
