this iconic photo was taken before Binance existed, before Ethereum launched, and before CZ or Vitalik became crypto giants CZ had already been working in tech and trading systems before getting into Bitcoin in 2013. that same year, he met Vitalik at a Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, when Vitalik was only 19 and already discussing Ethereum they met again in Beijing in 2014, and their paths kept crossing as both became involved in crypto. Vitalik was working toward launching Ethereum while CZ was building exchange technology and exploring opportunities in the space in 2015, Vitalik visited CZ in Tokyo and stayed at his apartment. CZ remembers trying to convince him that building Ethereum was too ambitious. Vitalik disagreed Ethereum launched that same year two years later, CZ launched Binance looking at this picture now, it's crazy to think these were just people building in an industry that was still so early sometimes the most important moments in your life don't look important when they're happening

sometimes i think we underestimate how much can change when you simply refuse to stay where you are. you can spend months feeling like you're behind, watching other people move faster & wondering why things aren't working for you, but none of that changes where you could be a year from now. look at Colonel Harland Sanders. he didn't start KFC until he was in his 60s, after years of failed businesses, jobs & setbacks. most people would've looked at his age and decided their best years were already behind them. but he kept going anyway. he eventually turned his chicken recipe into one of the biggest fast food brands in the world. that's what i like about life. it doesn't care how late you start. you can lose time, make bad decisions, fail repeatedly or feel like everyone passed you, and still create something meaningful from where you are. you don't need to have everything figured out today. sometimes you just need to stop treating your past like it's a prediction of your future.

imagine launching a token, everyone gets excited about it, then the hype dies down and people completely forget about it. so instead of looking for tokens that are actually worth holding, everyone just keeps chasing whatever is getting the most attention. that’s the gap castr.fun is trying to address. @castio- has created the ideal possible solution. with @castrdotfun, holders of the best new token are rewarded each day gives conviction a little more weight. for me, i think this'll definitely change the incentive game a little bit. instead of rewarding whoever makes the most noise, it gives people a reason to look for the token that actually stands out for them which is much better imo.

what if the thing everyone considered useless became the thing people couldn't live without? in 1968, Spencer Silver was trying to create a super-strong adhesive for 3M. instead, he accidentally created one that was weak enough to peel off easily. sounds like a failure, right? but years later, his colleague Art Fry realized that same "useless" adhesive could hold his bookmarks in place without damaging his hymn book. that little discovery eventually became the Post-it Note. sometimes, the value of an idea isn't obvious when you create it. you just have to notice what others overlooked.
