Speaking on the All-In Podcast, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) recalled his initial encounter with Bitcoin. He said that when he first learned about the cryptocurrency, he witnessed its price surge from $70 to $1,000 and felt he had already missed his opportunity. CZ explained that after a friend introduced him to Bitcoin in 2013, he spent about six months studying its white paper and related materials before deciding to enter the market near the end of that year. "It's normal for anyone to feel like they've missed an opportunity whenever they enter the Bitcoin market," he added.
