The spark
In Kyrgyzstan, CZ's hosts handed him a car plate reading 888 BNB. He posted the photo, then explained the number.
Not planned. That car plate was organized by the warm hosts of Kyrgyzstan without my prior knowledge. They gave it to me as a souvenir at the end of the very memorable trip.
They say 8888 is lucky in Chinese. 😂

Eight reasons, obviously
Bā and fā are close enough that eight has carried the meaning of wealth in Mandarin and Cantonese for centuries.
One eight is good luck. Four in a row reads as continuous, compounding fortune. Not a wish, a run.
Rotate an 8 ninety degrees and you get the infinity sign. Four eights, four infinities. Endless flow, no beginning and no end.
Beijing opened the 2008 Summer Games on 08/08/2008 at 8:08:08 pm. That is a country picking a start time for luck, on television, in front of the world.
Phone numbers, license plates and lucky addresses full of eights sell at auction for sums that make no sense until you understand the number.
Developers price the 8th and 88th floors higher and quietly skip the 4th, because four sounds like the word for death. Luck is literally built into the elevator panel.
The bāguà, the eight trigrams, map the whole world in feng shui and the I Ching. Eight already meant completeness before it ever meant money.
One bitcoin divides into 100,000,000 satoshis, exactly eight decimal places. The number was in the money from day one.
