Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ in the Crypto community, shares several flashbacks with an army of his followers on X social media. The photographs he published showed one day from the lifespan of the Binance team before the exchange began.
This was when Binance celebrated the eighth anniversary of the foundation that took place in 2017.
Secrets to Build the World’s Largest Exchange from CZ
CZ shared the throw in 2017, one of the days when Binance was released. That day he tweeted and had dinner for the entire team to be delivered to the office. The “secrets” and innocent methods shared by Binance are simple. “The Binance team, who worked day and night, was working.” In the photo, people are sitting in an office meeting room with a large screen on the wall, eating Asian food with chopsticks in carton boxes.

This is the only way to build a successful company, he believes: “This was the world’s biggest crypto exchange took place.”
BNB has risen 10,000 times since its launch
In a tweet released Monday, CZ highlighted the incredible growth of Binance Coin (BNB) since its launch in 2017. During the Binance ICO, the coin was traded at $0.06, but by Monday it was spiked to $698 per coin, and after that it was under 1%, a small fraction. I benefited from $700 on the same day.
At the time of writing, BNB has changed hands for $680. BNB has been tracking Bitcoin trajectories recently, in addition to the remaining altcoins. The latest one arrived on Monday. The largest cryptocurrency spiked past the $123,000 price level, then retarded, and is now just above the $117,000 level.
Commenting on the historic peak of the new Bitcoin, CZ said future prices will be just some of the new history’s greatest. He recalled a time in 2017 when Bitcoin first surged to a record high of $1,000 (after CZ bought it in 2014). That price surge caused a lot of joy and excitement, CZ recalls. But “Now, that’s a small percentage, under 1%,” he said.
