During a period of intense domestic regulation, CZ gave an early interview to "Blockchain 100". Watching this video today, it feels like a snapshot of the industry at that time.

In that conversation, he spoke very frankly about four things:

The ICO frenzy and rampant exchange proliferation necessitate regulation. Technology-driven global trading platforms will inevitably emerge, and overseas markets will be reignited by structural changes. Industry upheavals are often accompanied by migration and restructuring, not an end.

It is now 2026, and the industry is once again at a new crossroads; while CZ is writing his autobiography, recounting the decisions and paths of the past decade. Comparing this record, which was made as early as 2017, we can see that many of the events that happened later were actually foreshadowed in the logic of that time.
