Surprising findings from CZ's polls on cryptocurrency investments revealed
Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, recently conducted a series of polls on X (formerly Twitter) that offer a unique glimpse into the reality of cryptocurrency investment.
The results reveal some unexpected facts about the experiences of crypto investors, shedding light on both the challenges and successes faced by those involved in the space.

The results of one of the polls showed that while Bitcoin remains a dominant player in the crypto world, a slim majority of investors (50.4%) reported making a profit from their Bitcoin investments. This statistic stands in stark contrast to the 27% of respondents who do not own any Bitcoin at all. Additionally, over 23% of the participants revealed they had actually lost money despite Bitcoin reaching a series of record highs in recent months. This mixed sentiment highlights the volatile nature of the leading cryptocurrency and raises questions about the sustainability of its growth.
Meme coins and NFTs: A struggle for profit
Another striking finding from the polls was the performance of meme coins, which have gained significant attention in the past year. Nearly 45% of respondents indicated they had lost money on meme coins, despite these tokens experiencing massive price surges. Only 33% of those who had invested in meme coins managed to make a profit, while about 22% had never even considered investing in them.
Similarly, when it comes to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), nearly half of the respondents admitted to never having purchased one. This is not surprising given the decline of the NFT market following the 2021 hype-driven bubble.
One final interesting revelation came from a poll about Binance's native token, BNB. 40% of participants reported not purchasing BNB, even though it is the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Zhao himself was surprised by these results, but he acknowledged the inherent bias in the polls, noting that his followers are likely skewed toward those already involved in the crypto space.
Despite the intriguing results, these polls serve as a reminder of the volatility and unpredictability that continue to characterize the cryptocurrency market. As the space matures, these findings may help shape future discussions about the real-world challenges of crypto investing and the evolving preferences of investors.
