At a blockchain week event in early December last year, Changpeng Zhao faced a slew of microphones and cameras when a reporter threw him a rather philosophical question—"If you could have five wishes in life, what would you most want to achieve?"

Zhao's answer was surprisingly straightforward: "One is enough."

No grand narrative, no wish list. The founder who once built a leading exchange into the world's number one showed an uncommon sense of restraint in front of the cameras. Perhaps, having experienced the industry's ups and downs, he already understands what "less is more" truly means.

To be honest, in a circle where everyone talks about "ambition" and "vision," hearing such a simple answer is what makes it memorable.
