CZ and the State of Binance

We welcome back the Founder and CEO of Binance, CZ for his second appearance on Bankless. Last time CZ was on, Terra Luna hadn’t collapsed yet and FTX was still competing with Binance. A lot has changed.

In today’s episode, we cover it all. Here were some of the questions we discussed:
1) How can we tell what’s real vs. FUD with Binance?
2) What Happened with FTX from CZ’s perspective?
3) The difference between the current bear market vs. previous ones
4) Community questions from Justin Drake & Degen Spartan
