OKX Founder: What's the Use of Making Money Without Respect in This Industry? OKX founder Star Xu provides an in-depth review of the disdain and misunderstanding the blockchain industry has faced in the Chinese-speaking world over the years. He sharply points out that, in addition to the industry's stage of development, the prevalence of frivolous rhetoric within the industry has become self-destructive, seriously misleading public and regulatory perceptions. In contrast to the gradual mainstreaming of crypto and the growing respect for practitioners in many parts of the world, he emphasizes: Respect is earned, not given; only by maintaining the industry's integrity and improving communication and professionalism can one earn genuine, long-term respect and a sense of security.
