Abstract generation in progress

On January 31, CEX founder CZ stated during an AMA: “I’ve seen some bizarre accusations online, such as comments claiming that you have a net worth of $92 billion, and asking if you’ve sold all user assets? Did you sell cryptocurrencies to get that $92 billion? If I remember correctly, this $92 billion figure comes from Forbes’ estimates. But Forbes saying I have a certain net worth doesn’t mean I actually have that much cash. I haven’t cashed out company equity, nor have I sold cryptocurrencies for fiat currency. I have no intention of doing so, and I don’t want to hold fiat currency (including stablecoins), as I believe they are assets that will depreciate in the long run. I prefer to hold Bitcoin, BNB, etc. So these accusations are also incorrect.”
