You're on Twitter.
You have a massive following.
When it comes down to Bitcoin, the comments you've made, the stories of you selling your house for $900,000, all of that.
But for some of the audience that maybe doesn't know before you became the business tycoon that you are today, how does the story begin?
Well, we trace back, right?
I was born in a fairly rural village in China.
I grew up there, moved to a city when I was 10, and then moved to Canada when I was 12.
And then I did high school there.
I did high school in Vancouver, and then I started college in Montreal, in McGill.
I didn't graduate there.
I did four years, and then my intern boss gave me a job, and I delayed and delayed, and I never went back to McGill.
I started working.
And then I worked in Tokyo, New York, Shanghai, and then where else?
Singapore.
So I started as an IT guy and then turned into an entrepreneur.
I worked in Bloomberg in New York.
I was always in the financial tech field.
Then I started a company.
I was a junior partner of an IT company.
