Sitting down with @scottmelker to talk about the book and a few things I’ve never said publicly.
The first draft was written over 4 months on a broken laptop in prison.
Editing took even longer, nearly half a year.
Turns out, I had a lot to say. 🤣
🔶 See you April 8, 8pm ET.
Just tried it. Push ups. Not proper form or speed, but the best I could do for now.
I am 49. I challenge you to do better. 😉

A snippet from the book:

Go Live, July 14th, 2017
Ten, nine, eight, seven…
They were counting down. The tech guys had their eyes glued to their screens. I was one of them. Others hovered around us.
Our receptionist, Fang, had her phone out, capturing a video of the special occasion with me in the center. I had the https://t.co/3V0rZgCnlm website on my screen, on the BNB trading page.
Three, two, one. We were live!
Bam, the screen was filled with Sell orders, no Buy orders.
“This is not good, right?” I murmured.
Slowly, a few buy orders started to appear. They were at low prices. As soon as a buy order appeared near the last price range, they were taken. And the BNB price inched downwards.
The room went from excited anticipation to silence. Fang, usually a cheerful girl, quietly dropped the camera and retreated to her desk.
What happened?

If you are curious about the book name “Freedom of Money”, it was the Binance mission statement from the beginning: to increase the freedom of money.
It was in the Binance year end review of 2018 (the first full year end)

It was mentioned and quoted publicly in early 2018:

It was in my 2019 Father’s day X post:

Mentioned in 2020 as part of Binance’s Core Values

And many many times in many of the Binance blogs or posts...
The Chinese name '币安人生' is a meme coin someone started. I thought it is very fitting too. Very organic. Couldn't find a better Chinese name.
I may post some snippets of the book in the next few days, before it goes live.
Let's increase the Freedom of Money. All book sale proceeds go to charity. Thank you for all your support! 🙏
I may sign your copy one day if you are an early buyer of the book. 😉
It's not that. It's just the Forbes estimates are way off.
ByteDance's estimated yearly revenue: $150b (from public sources)
Zhang Yiming's estimated net worth by Forbes: $69b
Binance's estimated yearly revenue: $5b
CZ's estimated net worth by Forbes: $110b ???
I think if I tried to claim I have a high net worth, they will rank me much lower, or maybe even remove me from the list. They like to estimate the opposite. 🤣
Didn't read the Forbes article, but if you just look at the little chart 👇, you know it's wrong.
Crypto prices dropped by more than 50% in 2026 already. And my net worth went up? 🤷♂️
Wish they can apply some common sense and basic logic.
"On BNB Chain, which handles roughly 40% of global stablecoin transactions by count, 82% of stablecoin transfers are under $1,000."

A few points:
1. Thankfully, the court relies on evidence, not false news.
2. False news is easy to write. You can spin negative narratives on just about anything with anonymous sources, from disgruntled ex-employee who were fired for cause, leaking date, under performance; from competitors paying fudders; even from political compaigns who are anti-crypto.
3. There is a whole industry of "mass tort lawyers" who files civil law suits as soon as you do a federal plea. All my lawyers warmed me about this, but I didn't fully grasp the concept until it happened.
4. You don't need 891 pages with 3,189 paragraphs if you have real evidence. You only do that when you don't have any evidence, trying to make up the lack of evidence with fake volumes, which as the good judge said, is "wholly unnecessary".
Truth wins with time!
False news is temporary.
Truth always comes with time. 💪
Adding some logic here. There are absolutely zero (0) motive for any CEX to have anything to do with terrorists. I imagine they don't actively trade (no fee revenue). They may try to deposit and then immediately withdraw (these don't generate any revenue either).
Not to mention seeing missiles being intercepted in the sky with my own eyes, while living in the safest country in the world.🤷♂️
