In the eyes of most of us, my cousin is the founder of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, and a great wave maker in the blockchain ocean.

However, after he leaves the computer and phone, and takes off his suit, he may prefer the identity of a surfer 🏄, a man seeking balance, freedom, and excellence in the real ocean.

I believe that my cousin's love for surfing is definitely not accidental. We must first understand the spiritual connotation of surfing and its connection to blockchain — 'The cryptocurrency market is one of the most volatile and unpredictable markets on the entire planet. Overnight, various waterfall-like crashes or rocket-like surges could occur. This characteristic is remarkably similar to the waves in the sea.

No two waves are exactly the same, just as no two days of candlestick charts will repeat. I personally think this is one of the most important reasons why the cousin loves surfing.

Because no matter how successful a person is or how much wealth they have, when facing the vast ocean, they will feel their own insignificance. Surfing 🏄‍♀️ is such a sport that keeps people humble. In front of the ocean, it does not care who you are or what position you hold. The waves will mercilessly crash you into the water. It is this awe of natural forces that reflects the big cousin's respect for market forces. The success of Binance is largely due to the global trend of cryptocurrency development.

A surfboard, a sea. It allows the big cousin to temporarily escape the complexity and noise of the digital world, returning to the most primitive physical world because his daily life is filled with code, data, meetings, and some regulatory policies. In the water, there are no emails, no urgent phone calls, no meetings, only a complete release and calmness when facing the waves 🌊.

Most importantly, in a sense, the big cousin has a dual identity: he is both a surfer in the wave of cryptocurrency, keenly capturing every change in technology and market sentiment; at the same time, he is also an industry leader, a wave creator in the cryptocurrency field. Every decision and product he created at Binance shapes the form of the waves. This is why CZ can not only navigate the ocean's waves but also confidently lead the giant ship of Binance into the future.

As everyone knows, yesterday I shared the big cousin's five experiences of unemployment. Today, I want to share the big cousin's surfing philosophy because it details CZ's success philosophy—embracing change, staying focused, maintaining respect, and pursuing freedom.

If everyone can seriously understand the essence of these two articles, then congratulations to everyone. Your future self will no longer be unemployed 🤣.@CZ @Yi He @BNB Chain
