Changpeng Zhao, frequently known simply as CZ, the cofounder of the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, and its former CEO, has taken to social media to give an important warning to the global crypto community.

Currently, CZ is in Tokyo, Japan, where he is attending one of the largest Web3 conferences in Asia — WebX2025 — as one of the keynote speakers. Despite his busy schedule, CZ has published several tweets today, and almost all of them were warnings on the same topic, the red flag related to him that many people show.

CZ warns about this red flag

Changpeng Zhao shared that after giving a speech or participating in a fireside chat during such events, he usually spends a while letting fans get their photos taken with him. If it is all organized well, CZ said, he can get through around 600 selfies within half an hour, which means around three seconds per photo.

He also advised against trying to talk to him at this time but to leave a business card with their contacts (CZ prefers a QR code for Signal of WhatsApp). He does not accept any other gifts or papers.

And here comes the main point of his tweets: many people later use selfies with him to endorse their own crypto and other projects. CZ warns that this is a clear red flag, and he does not endorse any of those projects. He often has no idea what these people are creating: “Photos with me are not endorsements. I usually have no idea what people are working on.”

CZ shares ironic take on AI

Earlier this month, CZ shared his take on the current race between companies that are building AI systems, striving to make them more and more powerful and intelligent. Among them are, of course, OpenAI with its ChatGPT and Elon Musk’s xAI with Grok.

CZ said rather ironically that while claiming a goal to prevent “AI from being dangerous,” they are racing “to create the most advanced (dangerous) AI.” The influencer added a disclaimer, saying that he is all for tech/AI development.

This tweet triggered a hot debate in the comments where X users tried to agree on who will be in power to decide whether AI is dangerous or not.
