Ah! Picture the scene, dear spectator: Monsieur Changpeng Zhao—yes, CZ himself!—parades grandly into a hall crammed tighter than the purse of a miser. In the infernal heat of Dubai, no less! The crowd? A symphony of claps and cries! My word, even Molière’s Orgon hasn’t seen such devotion—except, perhaps, to Tartuffe, and we know how that ended. 😏
Yet, attend! It was not a rabble of mere crypto-peasants—no, no! This was a congregation of wise CEOs, jesting influencers, code-writing scribes, and the Grandees of Twitter (or should I say, X? How marvellously mysterious!). All gathered to bask in the celestial light of CZ, crypto’s sun king—minus the wig!
Monsieur CZ begins to speak, and the air transforms from mere humidity to sheer electricity. He dazzles with tales of AI, DeFi, and technological union, giving hope that perhaps, one day, we shall all pay for our daily bread with Bitcoin—if only the baker can figure out how to open a wallet! He regales them with misadventures among regulators, that pernicious breed, making even Scapin look honest.
Monsieur Zhao? Changpeng? Crypto King? Call him what you will, but here is a bald-headed whirlwind—McDonald’s veteran, mathematician, magus of the blockchain, and wizard of wallets. Forbes pegs him at $63 billion, which even Harpagon might call “a nice start.”
From Flipping Burgers to Flipping the Crypto World 🍔➡️🌍
Behold young CZ: Son of an exiled intellectual (a rare thing, for most fathers are content with exiling only their sons!), cast out by the ever-amusing Chinese revolutionaries. The young Monsieur migrates to the snowy lands of Canada. There, he flips burgers with one hand, fuels gas stations with the other, and preserves enough fingers to study at McGill. Such is the versatility of our hero!
Being clever, as all leading characters must be, he then dips his toes into the Tokyo Stock Exchange and later brews software at the noble house of Bloomberg. One can scarcely imagine Molière’s marquises laboring so!
CZ Hears of Bitcoin—at a Game of Poker! 🃏
Cryptocurrency? Oui, it eluded our CZ, until a merry poker game in 2013 when whispers about Bitcoin graced his ears (and no doubt his wagers). Much like Don Juan upon hearing the word “Donna Anna,” his curiosity was piqued: he sells his apartment—Shanghai, not Versailles!—and plunges into the Bit-abyss.
Binance: The Birth of a Behemoth 🍼💰
Fast forward to 2017. In a dazzling move of art and audacity, our hero christens his baby “Binance” (binary plus finance—ah, poetry!). With $15 million jingling in his purse from an initial coin offering, his exchange rises faster than Tartuffe’s fortunes at Orgon’s house-gate. Regulators, like the ever-meddling Géronte, force Monsier CZ into an opera of relocations: first, Japan! Then, Malta! Next, who knows? Perhaps the Moon!
Meanwhile, he becomes a titan of Twitter. What’s $500 million between crypto kings, especially if Musk is buying?
The SEC Drops the Curtain 🎭
But alas! Every comedy must have its farce. Enter the US SEC, waving lawsuits like a scorned valet with an unpaid bill. Binance’s fortunes stall; our CZ faces regulatory cross-examination worthy of a Molière tribunal. In November 2023, a spectacular act of penance—$4.3 billion (mon dieu!)—restores a sense of order, though CZ relinquishes his CEO crown.
2024: Prison and Penance in Seattle ⛓️
Fate, like a vengeful playwright, was not yet finished. A Seattle judge, perhaps auditioning for the role of Deus Ex Machina, sends our bald protagonist to four months behind bars for offending the eternal laws of financial secrecy. But a light sentence! The judge, no doubt, is a fan.
When CZ emerges, the crypto world throws wide its metaphorical arms: “Welcome back, O prodigal baldie!” What next? Binance is but a prologue for our hero. He is destined for loftier acts.
Encore: What Future for Our Hero?
Now, released from the shackles of corporate monarchy, CZ is lauded as a guardian angel (with considerably less hair, but no fewer admirers). He travels from Dubai to Bhutan to Pakistan, whispering crypto prophecies, extolling Bitcoin-mining Bhutanese monks, and consulting with sheikhs, ministers, and the occasional social media jester.
Will the Crypto King hang up his sceptre? Ha! He proclaims he shall “keep building.” One expects his next project will be nothing short of the blockchain equivalent of Versailles. 👑✨
