Binance Founder Zhao Changpeng Launches Expensive Paid Messaging Feature: $125 per Message in BNB
Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) recently launched a new feature called 'Pay to Reach', allowing users to send private messages directly to him by paying BNB tokens and receiving a guaranteed reply. This feature is implemented through the third-party platform ReachMe.io, requiring no registration, and aims to tackle the massive amount of ineffective messages CZ receives daily.
Initially, the message fee has been gradually raised from 0.04 BNB to 0.2 BNB (currently about $125), leading to a flood of spam due to the low price. CZ stated that the price adjustment is meant to 'control the daily message volume to an optimal level of about 10 messages' and emphasized: 'Please do not waste money sending irrelevant content.' Paid users can expect a reply within five days, and if they do not receive one, they will get a 50% refund. Currently, this feature has attracted nearly 70 KOLs, with pricing ranging from 0.01 to 0.2 BNB.
CZ pledged to donate all BNB obtained through this feature to charity and explained that this move aims to optimize communication efficiency rather than simply manage time. He mentioned that traditional social media platforms suffer from information overload due to low entry barriers, while a paid model can filter out more valuable exchanges. However, this initiative has also sparked controversy, with critics arguing that the high fees may exclude ordinary users, diminishing opportunities for equitable dialogue in the industry.
As a result of the feature launch, BNB price temporarily rose by 0.6%, but later retraced. As of the time of writing, BNB is quoted at $625.51, with a 24-hour decline of 0.4%. ReachMe.io has warned users to be cautious of unofficial tokens to avoid trading risks. With more KOLs joining, the paid interaction model may provide a new path for monetization in digital social media, while also testing the crypto industry's balance between commercialization and public engagement. $BTC
