Most people see crypto as charts and cycles, but very few think about what it actually took to build this industry from scratch while everything was still uncertain.

That’s why Freedom of Money feels interesting to us. It’s a first-hand look from @cz_binance at how @binance grew from an idea into global infrastructure, all while the space was evolving faster than any rules around it.

A lot of what we see today comes from that phase where builders had to move forward without clear frameworks, focusing on users, security, and scaling something that didn’t really have a playbook yet.

It also adds a different layer knowing that all proceeds go to charity, which makes it feel more like sharing a journey than pushing a product.

Got us thinking about how we define “freedom of money” in the first place. Is it just about access, or is it about something deeper like ownership and independence?

If you’re trying to understand where this space is going, hearing directly from builders might be worth it. Curious how others here think about it.

Feels worth reading just to understand how those early decisions were made and what actually carried forward.
