Tron founder Justin Sun praised former Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao despite Zhao’s recent legal issues. Sun highlighted lessons learned from CZ and Alibaba founder Jack Ma, emphasizing the importance of doing the right thing over the easy thing.
Sun stated that prioritizing user value is crucial, mirroring principles he learned at Jack Ma’s Hupan University. He noted that profit should be a byproduct of providing user value, not the main focus.
Sun applied these principles in his ventures, viewing CZ as a model of user priority. Zhao was sentenced to four months in prison for violating the Bank Secrecy Act but was praised by Sun for his consistent user-first approach.
Despite legal challenges, these values underscore long-term business success through user-centric strategies.
