And someone asked him : is this real? @cz_binance 

 

“if so, you're the greatest real estate agent of this decade 🤣”

 

His reply : “real, surprised you didn't know. Worst trade for 18 months, and then good... 🤣”

The story resurfaced recently, prompting CZ to confirm it with a grin: 'so, I didn't have to do all that extra work? 'Bitcoin dropped sharply after his purchase, leaving the investment underwater for 18 months, yet it soared as the price hit $91,000 by Thursday. That Shanghai apartment now sells for about $1.5 million, highlighting his early conviction that fueled Binance's rise as the world's top crypto exchange.

 

CZ noted he likely sold some over the years to fund ventures, but the tale endures as a testament to crypto's rewarding risks.
