“Investment wise, I am not a good example. I don’t diversify,” Zhao said. “I recommend most people to diversify. But for me, I am all in Binance.”

He added that he’s “all in crypto, BNB, and BTC. I use my Binance Card everywhere I go.”

The 44-year-old, who previously worked at the Tokyo Stock Exchange developing trading systems and at Bloomberg Tradebook on futures trading systems, began Binance in 2017. According to Forbes, he holds a total of 30% stake in the company and currently is the 19th richest person in the world, with a net worth of $17.4 billion.

In a wide-ranging AMA—that apparently was taken down shorty after it finished—Zhao answered a variety of questions, including Binance’s decision to trade LUNA despite its collapse, how Binance handles user funds, and the future of the Binance Chain.

In a response to a question on why Binance resumed the trading of LUNA, Zhao explained it had been halted because of the network being halted by the validators. He added that it was Binance’s trading that put pressure on the validators to resume. 

“We suspended trading briefly when the validators paused the blockchain, even that caused a lot of complaints,” he wrote. “But I believe our action forced the validators to resume the network within a couple of hours.”

Zhao also emphasized the overarching lack of bias in markets.
