During a period of intense regulation in China, CZ gave an early exclusive interview to Blockchain 100. Watching this video again today, it feels like a snapshot of the industry’s era.
In that conversation, he candidly discussed four things:
ICO overheating, exchange proliferation, regulation is inevitable
Technologically driven global trading platforms will emerge sooner or later
Overseas markets will be reignited through structural changes
Industry upheavals are often accompanied by migration and reconstruction, not termination
Now it’s 2026, and the industry is once again at a new crossroads; CZ is writing his autobiography, recounting the decisions and paths of the past decade. Comparing this record from as early as 2017, you’ll find that many events that happened later were actually foreshadowed in the logic of that time.
