#Bitcoin #Crypto #Finance "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. 📚Get The Book - (proceeds go to charity) English: https://a.co/d/08NMxBOH Chinese: https://a.co/d/01f7iQTn 🎙 Guests CZ - https://x.com/cz_binance The Daily Wolf 🎬 Tune In LIVE on Yahoo Finance 12pm est (Mon-Fri) https://finance.yahoo.com/live/ Timestamps 00:00 - Coming Up 01:39 - Introduction 03:28 - Growing Up With a Dirt Floor and No Running Water 05:27 - How CZ Built the Largest Crypto Exchange in 5 Months 07:01 - Writing a Book in Prison With 15 Minutes a Day 09:27 - Why CZ Chose to Face the DOJ Instead of Hiding 11:48 - The DOJ Asked for 36 Months — What the Judge Did 13:39 - His 82-Year-Old Mother Turned Away at the Prison Door 15:17 - What You Miss Most When Everything Is Taken Away 16:29 - Pardoned by President Trump — What It Meant to Him 19:20 - Building Binance When There Were No Rules 22:13 - Giggle Academy and YZI Labs — What's Driving CZ Now 24:25 - Why He's Donating Every Cent From the Book 26:24 - What Crypto Looks Like in 5 Years 28:27 - First Person Jailed for a Single BSA Violation 31:33 - Larry Fink Endorsed the Book — Here's How It Happened 35:27 - How Bhutan Got Rich Mining Bitcoin in the Himalayas 38:16 - What CZ Would Do Differently If He Started Binance Today 40:02 - Why Bear Markets Are the Best Time to Build 🚀 Connect & Learn Join The Wolf Pack Community Channel (Free Telegram) – Daily crypto market updates + direct chat with Scott: https://t.me/+34ihhgJnZYRlOWU8 Join The Wolf Pack News Channel (Free Telegram) - Daily crypto news & technical analysis with Scott: https://t.me/+Jzsrl5Xp9NJmMDk0 Free Wolf Den Newsletter – Crypto news & market analysis every weekday: https://thewolfden.substack.com/ 📊 Featured Trading Tools OKX – Trade like a pro with 1:1 backed assets and industry-leading speed.
