Have you ever thought to yourself, "I wish I had..
bought bitcoins early
bought the dip
held
learned about crypto early
ignored FUD
But when the opportunity presents itself again, will you act?
Today is earlier than all the days to come. 🤷♂️
DYOR. Am not your financial adviser
To make it in crypto, you have to survive brutal crashes, massive shakeouts, and painful mistakes.
You'll lose. You'll learn. You'll wait years for that one life-changing trade.
If this was easy, everyone would be rich.
That's why only 1% make it.
A Thank You to @heyibinance
The Heart Behind @binance
On August 8, 2017, Binance announced that @heyibinance was joining the team. She wrote a blog post about it and it went viral.
But what truly mattered wasn’t just the announcement.
It was what she brought with her.
Soon after joining, Yi He came across a post on social media about a young man who had accidentally sent unsupported coins to his Binance address. Those coins, worth only a few hundred dollars, were his entire college tuition.
Technically, recovery was possible but extremely complex:
Extracting private keys from a secure environment
Setting up a wallet for an unsupported asset
Syncing the blockchain for days
Manually returning the funds
It required time, effort, and resources.
The cost exceeded the value of the coins.
It generated zero revenue.
But Yi saw something others might overlook:
A user who needed help.
Because of that decision, Binance recovered his tuition money.
That moment wasn’t just an act of kindness.
It was a signal. A standard. A philosophy.
It set a precedent for helping users in similar situations something that even today, many exchanges still don’t offer.
But Binance does.
Because at Binance, protecting users is not a slogan — it is a core value.
After reading pages 103–106 of Freedom of Money by Changpeng Zhao, I finally understood:
Why Binance became what it is today.
Why it continues to dominate.
Why it stands at the very top.
It’s not just technology.
It’s not just growth.
It’s people.
It’s values.
It’s leaders like He Yi.
And with a foundation built on protecting users,
I truly believe Binance will always remain #1.
AI will make you jobless.
Crypto will make you not need a job.
Buy and hold now, retire in a few years. 🙋♂️if crypto allowed you to retire already.

This is a deep topic.
Your earning power is usually lower when young. There is a balance between how much you: 1, spend, 2, save, 3, invest (financially or in yourself).
The key is finding the near-optimal balance. The book "Die with Zero" goes into more detail on this topic.

We've come so far, and we are close to a bipartisan legislation that will stand the test of time.
People often ask me where I think the next big opportunities are. I say: watch where I spend time. Make sense, right?
Yet they ignore it, chasing the “10x-overnight opportunity” with 99.99999% failure rate. 🤷♂️
Was semi "offline" for a few days. Busy with year end, book, family, etc.
BTC will be fine.
BNB will be fine.
CZ will be fine.
Crypto will be fine.
Happy New Year!
When bitcoin was ATH, have you ever thought, “I wish I bought bitcoins early”?
Guess what, those who bought early did not buy at ATH, they bought when there were fear, uncertainty and doubt.
