Freedom. This is the word that has been increasing to the rank of totem for centuries. Freedom to think, act, trade. But in the era of digital platforms, its definition is vaccinated. For ChangPeng Zhao, says CZ, impossible to talk about financial freedom without freedom of expression. It was this belief that made him put $ 500 million into X, a former owner, in the name of Freer Web3 … at least in appearance.
In short
- CZ lies financial freedom and freedom of expression, pillar of its obligation to cryptoctives.
- It justifies its massive investment in X as a militant act for decentralized speech.
- Former boss Binance criticizes the European approach, too normative, hostile to innovation.
- X still has to solve the structural problem: the invasion of robots, direct goal cz.
CZ: Crusade for freedom … with variable geometry
On stage at the Token2049 conference in Dubai CZ did not get his words:
” If you want to have freedom of money, you must have freedom of expression. Otherwise, no other freedom works. »»
This confession, evokes him to justify his Massive investment in x. Officially it’s not a blow on the stock market, butMilitant.
The project seems almost Messianic. In his eyes would Twitter – renamed x – was Last possible bastion of free digital spaceprovided you are modernized. Binance in 2022 promised to help X integrate web3, fight robots, deploy crypto payments. In other words, Offer Musk crypto-compatible tool set.
But actually? The platform is still attacked by fake accounts, fraud of series, undesirable spam. Cz can publicly complain – even begged Muska to forbid robots – his dream of digital freedom seems to be imprisoned in Ošy’s attention of capitalism.
Ideological commitment or masked lobbying?
The former CEO of Binance does not hide its inconvenience in the face of Bureaucracy. ” European crypt policy died in the egg “He said from the detour. According to him, the region prefer to regulate what to innovate. On the other hand, he model the United Arab Emirates as a model where business and innovations would go hand in hand.
Its criticism is part of a well -established strategy. Depict the west like cold, Control the story by landing as a defender of freedomand pushing states to accept positions more favorable to the crypto industry. Nothing new. In addition to the fact that this time Cz no longer has the same status: in 2024He confessed guilty of washing money before issuing a four -month imprisonment.
Since then has been presenting itself as Strategic advisorEspecially for the Pakistani Crypt Council and a teacher through its Giggle Academy platform.
But can we believe that an ancient centralized exchanged tycoon has become a philosopher of freedom of expression overnight? His statement: ” We believe in strong entrepreneurs, strong platforms, freedom of expression … “The sons sound more like an investor playground than as a selfless commitment.
Web3 is good … If we control the narration
The paradox remains whole. Cz criticizes censorship, but wants to ban robots. It advocates decentralization, but remains an impact on the shareholder on the centralized platform. It advocates transparencyBut his legal past damages his credibility. And he dreams of the educational site3 without saying what the personal data of children trained through the Giggle Academy are.
This hybrid posture between ethics and pragmatism reflects the air of cryptomic time: recycled ideals in marketing strategy. It is true that CZ is not the only one. Musk also instrumental freedom of expression according to fluctuating interests. But binding “monetary freedom” and “freedom of speech”, because two interchangeable absolute absolute debate deserves.
In fact, X revolutionized his model. Web3 integration remains embryonic. Bitcoin payments and other crypts are still not there. And the promises of the binance-like team constitution, which is engaged in the fight against fraud in the chain to materialize.
Europe is postponing while others build. His mania normally prevents him from really innovation. Oversee while others experiment. And while CZ dreams of the relaxed Internet, X, the platform it supports must face a very real enemy: the invasion of robots. Problem, if acute that CZ publicly called Elon Musk to finally end it.
