In an interview on the New Era Finance Podcast, OKX founder and CEO Star Xu recalled Bitcoin's early forks and hash power attacks, the collapse of Mt. Gox, disagreements over scaling, and the later FTX incident. He stated that Bitcoin had nearly "died" several times, and resolving industry crises could take months or even a year. In his view, once those problems are resolved, the industry becomes better, bigger, and stronger than before.
