Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao, is one of the most well-known voices in the cryptocurrency industry and his opinions have some clout within the community. Some have gone so far as to compare him to Mark Zuckerberg, a individual who similarly went from quiet origins to becoming a billionaire in a short span of time.
Forbes first reported on how Aaron Lammer and Jay Caspian Kang, hosts of crypto podcast Coin Talk, made the comparison to the founder of the social media giant.
CZ is the only person in big crypto … that appears to have a sense of humor…CZ is like a character in a William Gibson novel. He lives as a two letter acronym. He seems both unprofessional and deeply in control at the same time, said Lammer and Kang.
Indeed, Zhao operates in an individualistic way and is generally liked within the cryptocommunity, and his bold statements on Twitter always generate a lot of discussion.
