Who is Changpeng “CZ” Zhao?
Changpeng Zhao (known as CZ) is the founder of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. With nearly 10 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), he’s a major voice in the crypto world.

CZ’s Message to X: “Ban All Bots”
On Sunday, CZ posted on X, urging the platform to block automated bot accounts. He wrote: “I think X should ban all bots. I only want to interact with humans here.” He also tagged Elon Musk, X’s owner, suggesting the platform disable automated posting tools (APIs) to reduce spam.

Why Bots Are a Problem
Bots (automated fake accounts) have plagued X for years. They often spread scams, impersonate celebrities, or manipulate discussions. In 2022, Elon Musk claimed bots made up 20-90% of X’s users before he bought the platform. While he introduced paid “premium” accounts to fight bots, many still exist.

CZ vs. Fake Accounts
This isn’t the first time CZ has criticized X’s bot issue. In 2023, he warned followers about fake accounts pretending to be him, saying: “Beware of fake ‘cz’ accounts… Please report them. I hope X does a better job cleaning these up.”

Bots in Crypto vs. AI
Bots are common in crypto, but CZ clarified he doesn’t want to “socialize” with AI tools like ChatGPT or Grok. He said: “AI can help book hotels or write code, but I don’t need bots on social media.”

A Future Without Bots?
Some projects, like Sam Altman’s “World,” aim to create a bot-free internet. Users prove they’re human to get a special ID and crypto rewards. However, X hasn’t adopted such systems yet.

Key Takeaway
Despite efforts to reduce bots, X still struggles with fake accounts. Leaders like CZ want platforms to prioritize real human interaction, but solving the bot problem remains a challenge.
