CZ Says Early ‘Easy Residence’ 5% Investment Could’ve Prevented BNB — Shares Photo with Vitalik, Donated $10M in BNB

COINOTAG News (Oct 10) — Binance CEO CZ retweeted a July 2014 photo with Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik on X, a post that highlighted a CZ Vitalik BNB donation and recalled early “Easy Residence” gatherings in 2015 before Ethereum’s market expansion. CZ noted those meetings included discussions on capital allocation that resemble present investment frameworks. The image is reported to have been taken in a Chicago hotel room in July 2014, and CZ confirmed he meets with Vitalik several times each year. He also disclosed a prior $10 million BNB donation to a biotech project associated with Vitalik. The account confines itself to verifiable disclosures and avoids claims about causal impacts on token issuance or exchange governance.
