📝 An interesting article about the head of Binance Changpeng Zhao from Fortune  

They tell about the life of CZ and how he became the head of the world's largest crypto exchange. In short, he grew up in rural China until his family moved to Canada. There, his father bought him an expensive computer and became Zhao's technical mentor. For two years, CZ worked the night shift at McDonald's and barely made ends meet, and the book Rich Dad Poor Dad changed his life by making him question his own father's advice.

His father taught him to work hard to get a good job, but instead Zhao dropped out of college and wanted to start his own business. Zhao learned about cryptocurrencies in 2013 while playing poker with Bobby Lee and Ron Cao. He sold his apartment in Shanghai and invested $1 million in bitcoin, and then started working for Blockchain info.

Then CZ worked for OKCoin, quarreled there with CEO Star Xu, first founded Bijie Technology, and in the summer of 2017 Binance.
