BlockBeats News, April 6, Binance founder CZ shared an excerpt from his new book “Freedom of Money” as follows:
On July 14, 2017, Binance was launched.
Ten, nine, eight, seven… They were counting down. The developers stared at the screen intently. I was one of them. Others surrounded us.
Our front desk receptionist Xiao Fang was holding her phone, recording a video of this special moment, while I stood in the middle.
On my screen was the Binance website, showing the BNB trading page.
Three, two, one. We went live! Bang! The screen was instantly filled with sell orders, with no buy orders at all.
“This doesn’t look good, does it?” I murmured quietly.
Gradually, some buy orders started to appear, but all at very low prices.
Whenever a buy order appeared near the last traded price, it was immediately taken.
The price of BNB kept dropping slowly. The atmosphere in the room shifted from excited anticipation to a deathly silence.
Xiao Fang, usually a cheerful girl, quietly put down her phone and silently returned to her seat.
What happened?
CZ quoted a previous tweet to add, “Forgot to mention, all sales revenue of the book will be donated to charity. I’m not trying to make money from this book.”
BlockBeats reported on April 3 that CZ’s new book “Freedom of Money” had topped the Amazon bestseller list in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. The new book is scheduled to be released this week, and the e-book is now available for pre-order unless the editor requests further changes. The English print book will also be launched this week. Other language versions will be released in the coming months. CZ said the Chinese version of his new book is called “Binance Life,” as he couldn’t find a better name.
According to HTX market information, Binance Life has seen its 24-hour price increase to 31.24%, now trading at $0.0747.
