CZ publicly tweeted about buying 2 million $USDT worth of Aster that day. Had a private chat with a friend, saying this feels like Lei Jun staking his reputation to build cars. He’s not like Bai Bu buying 1 $BNB casually—he’s putting his own reputation on the line to hype it up. For a while, Aster dropped to around CZ’s cost price, and buying in at that point to wait for a rebound and sell was easy money. Then one day, it finally broke below his cost price completely, even 0.8 couldn’t hold.
