CZ Calls Out Clout Chaser for Bashing the BNB Ecosystem

- CZ publicly confronted a user for posting a fake screenshot claiming he was blocked.
- He called the move “clout chasing” and said he’d rather mute than block.
- The exchange quickly turned into a meme storm across crypto Twitter.
Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao took to X on Tuesday to publicly call out a user who posted a fake image implying that CZ had blocked him. In his tweet, CZ dismissed the claim as “clout chasing,” and bashing the BNB Ecosystem calling the poster “a loser” and clarifying that he had never interacted with the person before the fake image surfaced.

“I could make it real. But I will choose Mute instead. Ignore is the best rejection,” CZ wrote, adding a laughing emoji for good measure. The response immediately went viral, drawing mixed reactions—some applauding his restraint and others amused by his blunt tone.
Crypto Twitter Reacts
The original tweet by @cjhtech included a doctored screenshot showing CZ’s account as having blocked him. Within minutes, crypto Twitter turned the exchange into a meme thread, with comments like “This is his peak moment. CZ talked about him” and “Prediction market could not beat your response.”

The incident adds to CZ’s long-standing reputation for addressing misinformation directly and sometimes humorously. While the dustup was minor, it underscored how quickly fake posts can circulate—and how one of crypto’s most recognizable figures prefers to handle them: silence over censorship.
