Summary
CZ explains how Binance went from launch to hundreds of BTC in revenue within months, with BNB jumping 29x in a single week and profits hitting 1 billion dollars in about a year. He breaks down their ultra‑low fee strategy, why competitors’ smear campaigns actually helped Binance grow, and what his insane first‑year schedule looked like as the exchange became the largest centralized crypto platform in the world.
