Crypto generates new myths every day, and countless personas collapse in an instant. Being able to calm down and read an autobiography from someone who has experienced the industry is itself a luxurious thing.

It took two days to read the book 'Binance Life'. I didn't intentionally pursue so-called secrets of success, nor did I have the mindset of peeking into the private lives of big shots. However, I realized the most precious essence of this industry in the book: all business miracles stem from people's persistence, and all breakthroughs across cycles come from staying true to one's heart without compromise.

This industry has never lacked legends of getting rich overnight, nor has it lacked extravagant narratives. What it lacks is the clarity that is not swept away by the tide, the courage to bear all criticisms and pressures, and this book vividly encapsulates this rarity.

Only after shedding the halo can one see the true colors of the industry.

When outsiders mention CZ and Binance, the labels are always the world's top exchange, industry giant, and wealth center, full of unattainable halos and a sense of distance.

Everyone is focused on Binance's market value, user numbers, and industry status, watching CZ stand in the spotlight, but few pay attention to the muddy road and persistence hidden behind this dazzling achievement, and how they stood firm step by step amidst countless doubts and crises.

The hardest part of Binance life lies in not creating gods, not beautifying, and not avoiding.

It neither glorifies the past hardships nor simply erases failures and setbacks, nor attributes success solely to fortunate opportunities and trends. It candidly writes about the difficulties of every choice, the struggles during each crisis, and the persistence when not being optimistic, presenting a real, flesh-and-blood entrepreneur and a platform that has weathered storms before everyone.

As time spent in crypto increases, one will understand more and more that what is most lacking here is not smart people and speculators, but those who can calm down to think, those with self-discipline, and those who adhere to long-termism.

This book precisely tears apart the industry's superficiality, allowing us to see that what determines whether a platform can go far is never a momentary heat, but the underlying bottom line and responsibility.

Companionship is the warmest light to traverse the cold winter.

The most touching part of the entire book is not just the entrepreneur's persistence, but the companionship and mutual support between CZ and the sister through storms.

There are no examples of partnership entrepreneurship in the industry, but there are many who can share hardships and burdens, who will not abandon or give up in the troughs, and who will not lose direction at the peaks.

The preface of the sister does not have gorgeous words, but every word is heartfelt. Her CZ is not the industry giant seen by outsiders, but a practitioner who adheres to her original intention and works simply and purely; she has always been a doer working on the front line, providing services to users, and working hand in hand with the platform.

They met during the industry's most desolate times, without flowers and applause, only countless doubts and a path forward; they endured the market's cold winter together, shouldered countless crises together, bore the industry's pressure together, supported each other in good times, and upheld each other in adversity.

From determining the name Binance, adhering to the user-first principle, facing various industry storms, taking on the responsibilities that should be borne, the two individuals with complementary personalities and unified goals support the backbone of the entire platform with trust and persistence.

The most precious thing in the world is not embellishments, but timely help; the most precious thing is that after enduring countless competitions, there are still people who are with you, understanding your difficulties and guarding your original intention.

In the industry's battlefield, holding onto one's core is the ultimate way to win.

The crypto market has always been the cruelest battlefield.

When the bull market arrives, everyone believes they are the chosen ones, confused by the skyrocketing market, with greed, arrogance, and restlessness occupying their hearts, imagining they can control everything; when the bear market comes, panic spreads, doubts arise, countless people return to their original forms, their mentality collapses, they flee in panic, and ultimately become cannon fodder for the market.

Having seen too many projects that bloom briefly and too many that crash swiftly after 'making quick money', too many platforms that lose their bottom line in the face of interests, ultimately disappearing in the industry's waves.

However, Binance's development from an emerging exchange to its current status is not reliant on momentary opportunities, nor on opportunism, but on always adhering to its core, insisting on user-first, and maintaining its bottom line.

In the book, those phases that are not optimistic, needing to face regulatory and public opinion pressure, those self-sacrificing decisions made for user interests, and those who bravely take on responsibilities and dare to be accountable are the strongest foundation of the platform.

For every ordinary person in the industry, the value of this book has never been to teach us how to replicate success, but to help us see clearly:

In a market full of fluctuations and uncertainties, maintaining one's rhythm is more important than making money; maintaining one's mindset is more important than cognition; adhering to the bottom line and original intention is more lasting than chasing trends.

Do not let temporary ups and downs sway your emotions, do not be misled by short-term interests; in a bull market, do not be carried away, in a bear market, do not panic, do not be lazy in good times, do not be discouraged in adversity, cultivate your own core, and you can walk more steadily and further in the industry.

Closing the book, the heart is filled with calmness and strength.

Binance life is a microcosm of personal entrepreneurial history, platform development history, and over a decade of development in the crypto industry, encompassing enthusiasm, desolation, brilliance, lows, speculation for profit, and adherence to responsibility.

In this industry where everyone wants to make quick money and take shortcuts, it is like a wake-up call, reminding every practitioner.

All glory is temporary, all heat will fade; only by adhering to the original intention, holding a great cause, and being pragmatic can one traverse cycles and withstand storms.

There is no need to imitate the success of others, nor to be influenced by others. Maintain clarity in a noisy environment, persist in your own ideas amidst twists and turns, and dare to take responsibility in adversity.

Finally, I pay my highest respect to every person who adheres to their original intention and works diligently in the industry.

Respect CZ @cz_binance

Respect the sister @heyibinance

Respect to every @binance @binancezh worker and supporter who contributes silently.

Respect to every persistence!

I hope we can all remain true to our original intention, stick to our hearts, not be bound by the secular world, nor be defeated by difficulties, become long-termists, and walk a firm path of our own in the waves of crypto.
