"I Built The World's Biggest Bitcoin Exchange Then Lost Everything... So I Told The Truth" | CZ
About this episode
"I didn't want to play dominoes with the other inmates so I wrote a book." CZ sits down with Scott Melker for his most personal interview yet, revealing the full story behind Freedom of Money — written in federal prison with just 15 minutes a day on a shared computer. From growing up with a dirt floor in rural China to building the world's largest crypto exchange in five months, CZ opens up about choosing prison over hiding, receiving a presidential pardon from Trump, and why he's never been more optimistic about Bitcoin's future.
