Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao warned against using selfies for promotional purposes after 5ireChain shared a picture of him with their CEO.
Indian blockchain company 5ireChain landed itself in trouble with Binance’s co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) when they shared a photo of him along with their CEO Pratik Gauri at a event. In a now-deleted social media post, the company shared a picture of the two men posing for a camera, smiling with their hands behind each other's backs.It captioned the image with “What’s cooking?” and added a handshake emoji, apparently hinting at a significant behind-the-scenes development between Gauri and Zhao.

However, Zhao was quick to shut down any rumours about a collaboration and clarified that the selfie was merely a chance encounter at an event, adding that the two did not even have a conversation. "This is exactly how NOT to use a selfie with me. Nothing is cooking. Didn't even have a chat. Just a selfie at an event," he wrote in a reply to the post.
