Odaily Planet Daily News: CZ recalled missing the opportunity to use ETH and said, "I may still have a small amount of ETH in some old wallets, but it's not a significant amount. I remember when BNB was first launched as an ERC20 token, we needed ETH to pay for gas fees.
I missed the entire ETH opportunity. In 2013, I met Vitalik at a Bitcoin conference and had heard of ICO in 2014. In 2015, Vitalik visited my small apartment while traveling in Tokyo. At that time, I (arrogantly) gave him this advice: "A Turing complete language on the blockchain? Isn't it too difficult?" He replied, "It can be done
This is truly a missed opportunity.
However, looking at it from a different perspective, if I had bought ETH at that time, I might not have had the motivation to start Binance and BNB. "
