Having hit a new all-time high of $111,880, it is clear that Bitcoin (BTC) has brought fresh attention to how different parts of the market have handled this rally. And Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, did not miss the chance to make a point.
As the price charts lit up, a quiet but pointed reference was dropped by CZ to those who sold at $77,000 — suggesting it might be time to rethink how one reads the market. Note the importance of stepping back once in a while and checking a yearly chart instead of getting caught up in minute-to-minute moves — a message CZ made clear.
Though brief, the message landed with impact, thanks to its timing and tone. Just as some are riding the wave up, others may realize they left too early. The comment served less as a celebration and more as a reminder that short-term thinking can come at a cost.
A mix of renewed institutional interest, a broader appetite for risk and general momentum across the crypto space has driven Bitcoin’s run past $111,000. Still, CZ’s post refocused attention on retail behavior, highlighting how easily investors can be spooked by volatility.
We have seen this kind of direct commentary from CZ before. Year after year, it has been his message to emphasize long-term perspective and staying power over quick trades. Now that Bitcoin is well above its previous peak, the message hits differently.
Those watching Bitcoin's rise should take away one key point: it is not just about where the market goes, but whether you are still in it when it gets there.
