Ex-Binance CZ Issues Big Crypto Warning: ‘Be on the Right Side of History’

As a researcher who has closely followed the crypto market for several years now, I find Changpeng Zhao’s (CZ) recent tweet a powerful reminder of the potential long-term impact of digital currencies like Bitcoin. Being in this field since its early days, I’ve seen many ups and downs, but the current surge is undeniably impressive.


Changpeng Zhao (commonly referred to as CZ) in the cryptocurrency world, posted a tweet to caution his 9 million followers about Bitcoin‘s current market situation following its remarkable price escalation.

CZ warns crypto community against this

In a recent tweet, Changpeng Zhao advised his numerous followers to align themselves with the correct course of history. He referenced a post he had shared on November 1st last year, which he authored while serving as CEO of Binance.

On that particular day, he brought up the topic of “an improved monetary system beneficial for billions,” emphasizing to the crowd that it could be detrimental to be on the ‘losing’ side of history regarding this issue.

Be on the right side of history.

As I witnessed the ATH unfold, CZ cautioned the Bitcoin community via a tweet, predicting frequent instances of both increases and decreases in Bitcoin prices ahead. He urged us to curb our enthusiasm, carefully assess risks, and avoid investing all our resources into a single asset, emphasizing the importance of diversification.

She then said that the U.S. would buy one million in Bitcoin over the next five years – 200,000 BTC per year. One million Bitcoins is roughly 5% of the total 21 million BTC supply that can ever exist. The new bill would allow Pennsylvania to allocate 10% of its $7 billion budget to buy Bitcoin with.
