CZ responds to the polarized public opinion surrounding him: It may be influenced by factors such as market conditions.

PANews reported on February 1st that Haseeb, Managing Partner of Dragonfly, stated on the X platform, "CZ's public image has completely reversed in just a few months. CZ received a hero's welcome upon his release from prison. Now the public seems to see him as an SBF-level villain. To be honest, both perspectives are absurd. But in any case, it's quite interesting."

In response, CZ stated, "Both of these viewpoints are absurd. Perhaps it's like this: when you're released from prison on a 'no fraud, no victim' charge, and the entire crypto industry is under attack from government 'crackdown on cryptocurrencies,' people will sympathize with you; but now, the government supports cryptocurrencies, yet Bitcoin hasn't reached a new all-time high (although Bitcoin's price is still much higher than it was a year and a half ago). Or, to put it more simply, this might just be the difference between a bull market and a bear market. Of course, this is just a generalization. In any case, we will continue our efforts."
