CZ's Tweets have been met with consecutive "callouts," to which he responded that he prioritizes engaging with the community.
Original Title: "CZ Responds to Criticism: Who Has Time to Research Every Project? Come to BSC Chain and I Will Interact More, Labs' Investment Is Also 80% in the Red..."
Original Author: Editor Jr., BlockTempo
Brazilian legendary footballer Ronaldinho Gaúcho yesterday (3rd) posted on X, stating that he has launched his personal official meme coin $STAR10 on the Binance Chain (BNB Chain):
My new token and the only official token are here. It's time to celebrate the great, passionate, and enduring legendary spirit. Legends are not born, but made. You can choose to be part of it.
Get your $STAR10 now and let's make history together.

Shortly after Ronaldinho announced the token, this meme coin quickly rose to the top spot on the DEXSCREENER trading hotlist. Subsequently, Zhao Changpeng (CZ) also retweeted Ronaldinho's post on X and expressed his fandom for Ronaldinho since 2005, thanking him for the exclusive token launch on the Binance Chain:
· This tweet is not an endorsement, only a security alert and disclaimer.
· Ronaldinho's STAR10 token is exclusively issued on the Binance Chain.
· Any tokens on other chains are fake. Please be aware of scams.
· Meme coins are highly volatile, with recent significant decreases in trading volume, posing very high risks.
· Personally, I have been a fan of Ronaldinho since 2005. We appreciate the token launch on the Binance Chain, but there is no commercial relationship between the Binance Chain and any affiliated parties with Ronaldinho.


Community Suggests CZ Should Review Projects Before Interacting
However, shortly after, the project was exposed to have a smart contract vulnerability (now fixed). Some community members revealed that Ronaldinho's coin issuance this time was due to a Chinese issuance group in Shenzhen buying his X account for $5 million, with the same purpose as several previous celebrity coins—to harvest retail investors.
As CZ, the founder of Binance and one of the most influential figures in the crypto space, posted on X and interacted with Ronaldinho, although he clarified that he was not endorsing the project, the community still saw it as a form of pumping signal, questioning whether he should not have done so. Some also suggested that CZ should conduct project due diligence before interacting.
In response to this, CZ expressed that his intention is simply to welcome projects to build on the Binance chain, and he doesn't have time to conduct due diligence or endorse a project before interacting with it:
· Who has time to endorse first? If a big player comes to BSC, I'll interact. If each X has to be endorsed first, how do I respond to you?
· I aim to interact more with the community, not less. It will be the same in the future.
· Labs' investments and advisory roles are "endorsed first." 80% of Labs' investment projects also lose money.

CZ Caught in a Dilemma?
We know that recently CZ has been actively discussing meme coins on X platform, hoping to drive the development of the BNB chain ecosystem. However, from the previous TST, to CZ's pet dog Broccoli, to now STAR10... CZ's multiple remarks have also attracted criticism from the community.
In this context, a community member replied to CZ, indicating that there is no need to care about the evaluation of CZ by certain meme coin communities, as those fervent meme coin community members are a group of people lacking information judgment capabilities. Regardless of whether CZ mentions a specific token, it will always lead to insults and criticism.
If you mention a coin, they will say, "Trash BN, always front-running."
If you don't mention a coin, they will say, "**CZ, not taking care of the BSC ecosystem."
In any case, they can find a reason to criticize you.
In response to this evaluation, CZ himself also replied indicating his understanding. When some community members commented that this is CZ liking others to flatter him, he responded by saying that he "likes the truth."
From my point of view, indeed, if CZ himself wants to interact more with the BNB chain ecosystem, it's good to post more; but if he doesn't want to be labeled as promoting projects, then the content of his statements must be more cautious. I believe with his wisdom and team, there should be a smoother way to handle it.
