In the past, to be honest, I didn’t believe in BNB. I also didn’t believe in CZ, simply because I didn’t know who he was and didn’t really understand what Binance was building. At that time crypto was still very new, while traditional investment opportunities like real estate and business looked extremely promising, so I chose not to invest in it.
That’s why I missed the opportunity when BNB was under $50. Many people saw it back then, but only a few truly understood what it could eventually become.
Years later, as I learned more about CZ, how he built Binance, and what he has done for the crypto industry, my perspective changed a lot. Today, my level of trust in CZ is very high.
And when I see CZ confidently holding Aster, it gives me even more conviction. At the core, I trust someone who took Binance from zero to the number one exchange in the world in about 180 days, and has maintained that position ever since.
The crypto market is like that. Truly big opportunities don’t appear very often. Sometimes it takes many years before a similar moment comes again, and when it does, very few people recognize it early.
That’s why this time I look at Aster differently. While it is still under $1, I will try to accumulate as much as I can and hold it patiently.
Maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong. But missing BNB once taught me a very clear lesson: sometimes the biggest regret in crypto isn’t losing money.
It’s recognizing an opportunity… but not having the patience to stay with it long enough.
Trade like a ninja 🥷 Make Aster Great Again
This is not financial advice, just my personal view. Always do your own research and take responsibility for your own decisions.
In 2022, on the eve of FTX's collapse, CZ considered rescuing FTX. However, when he discovered that SBF's team couldn't even produce a complete balance sheet within 24h, he gave up.
He believes SBF's business logic wasn't based on product competition, but rather on skillfully using political lobbying and regulatory maneuvering to undermine competitors.
