OKX Founder: What's the point of making money in this industry if there's no respect? OKX founder Star Xu takes a deep dive into the years of neglect and misunderstanding the blockchain industry has faced in Chinese-speaking regions. He sharply points out that beyond the factors tied to the industry's development stage, the long-standing prevalence of frivolous rhetoric within the industry is evolving into self-destruction, severely misleading public and regulatory perceptions. In contrast to how crypto is gradually entering the mainstream in many parts of the world and practitioners are gaining respect, he emphasizes: respect is earned, not given. To truly achieve long-term respect and a sense of security, the industry must uphold itself, improve its communication, and enhance professionalism.
