CZ shares how he went from a rural village in China to Vancouver, McGill and Wall Street‑adjacent fintech roles in Tokyo, New York, Shanghai and Singapore before ever touching crypto. He explains why discovering Bitcoin in 2013 felt “bigger than the internet,” how that conviction led him to sell his Shanghai apartment for around 900,000 dollars to buy Bitcoin at roughly 600 dollars a coin, and why he quit his job to work full‑time in the space even without much cash left.
