Binance’s CZ Says If You Sold the Dip, You Need to Unfollow the Weak Minds

Binance’s co-founder, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, has identified why some crypto proponents might be selling their stash at every market downturn.

Bitcoin and the broader crypto market dropped drastically over the weekend, with the former dumping below $100,000 for the first time in 45 days on Sunday. However, Bitcoin has rallied 8% from the dip to reclaim $106,000.

While some saw the downside as a buy opportunity, others fizzled out of the market. Binance’s co-founder, Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ, suggested that the difference between the two groups of market participants could be who they follow or pay attention to.

Sellers Follow Weak Minds

Many believe that the crypto market requires extensive patience, and following the right people can make it easy. In a June 24 tweet, CZ had some advice for those who panicked and sold their cryptocurrencies amid the geopolitical tension.

CZ stated that if you sold the dip, it was because you followed weak minds. To avoid the reoccurrence of such scenarios, he advised ditching them to follow the right people.

Notably, Zhao blamed one’s circle as a good determinant for their strength in times of uncertainty. According to him, those who sold during the market dip simply do not follow the right people; they follow the “weak minds.”

Recall that CZ now has a newfound interest in encouraging market users at every market downturn. Several times, he has urged enthusiasts to look beyond the temporary setback and focus on the longer term.

Several other industry leaders, such as Michael Saylor, also have a history of remaining bullish on Bitcoin, regardless of market conditions. The Strategy executive chairman recently ruled out the chances of a crypto winter, insisting there is no stopping until $500,000 or $1 million.

As a result, CZ insinuated that following the right people, like Saylor, himself, or Robert Kiyosaki, who has been a staunch advocate of Bitcoin lately, could have prevented panicking and selling the dip instead of buying.

Everything Before the Next ATH Is a Dip

Interestingly, his tweet follows a parallel X post a day earlier, where he insisted that every other thing, aside from a new all-time high, is a dip worthy of buying. This bullish mindset stresses that there is no excuse for not acquiring choice assets, as everything under their current peak price is an opportunity.

Remember, by definition, everything before the next ATH is a dip.

However, the former Binance CEO emphasized that not every coin would reach its next all-time high. CZ urged enthusiasts to look beyond hypes and buy only strong coins with long-term staying power and growth potential.

He emphasized that only a select caliber of cryptocurrencies would consistently rebound after every dip. This comment echoes his March comment, in which he warned against investors’ focus on short-term gains over projects with massive real-world utility.
