Recently, a reporter seized the opportunity to directly confront a controversial event in the encryption circle: the founder of a leading exchange, CZ, has just ended his legal restraint period, and coincidentally, there were previous reports that a political figure's family project had a financial transaction of up to 2 billion USD with the exchange. The reporter bluntly asked: "Isn't it too coincidental that the restrictions were lifted at this timing?"

The person being questioned responded rather slickly. First, he looked confused: "CZ? Not too familiar. I only know he was sentenced for a few months before, it seems more like the former government is finding fault." The reporter continued to press, and the other party directly started to play Tai Chi: "Your question is too complicated, I can't understand the specific details. I only know my family is involved in encryption-related business, which is quite normal - they are running a legitimate business, not living off taxpayers' money, what’s there to question?"

To be honest, after being in this circle for nearly ten years, I am very familiar with this set of rhetoric.

On the surface, it seems to be playing dumb, but in reality, every statement hits the mark. Right now, it's a crucial period for the elections, and the cryptocurrency user group is not to be underestimated as a voting bloc—there are hundreds of millions of users worldwide, who would dare to offend them easily? On one hand, they state "support the legal operation of the encryption industry," while on the other hand, they subtly imply to their opponents "political suppression," this operation is very precise.

Speaking of the CZ case, it is essentially a typical example of the compliance issues faced by centralized exchanges. No matter which camp comes to power, they will not dare to easily go against the capital and users in the encryption circle—after all, the scale of the cryptocurrency market is right there, and any slight policy changes can lead to an immediate shift of funds.

So this conversation seems awkward, but in reality, it serves each party's needs: the reporter got the trending topic, the parties involved maintained their base, and the encryption industry? It continues to thrive in the cracks of policy.
