: In response to recent reports that "AI stock god Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness Fund is seeking new capital support," well-known investment research firm Citrini officially commented on X platform: "If you are an LP of Situational Awareness, you invested in the fund based on information from its offering memo, such as 'AI is the only thing that matters, and if you recognize this and wish to invest in a vehicle that expresses this view by going all-in long on the most leveraged expression of our most optimistic AI thesis in the stock market, then you invest.' Not just because you're bullish on AI, but because you believe Leopold is one of the few 'hundreds' / knows these 'hundreds' who will bring about the machine god by 2030. And then, over the next two years, this fund did exactly what it promised. And it went up. Probably over 20x, if I recall correctly.Again, in this scenario, you are the person who read 'Situational Awareness' (that paper) and said: 'Yes, I agree AI is more powerful than nuclear bombs and will turn the world upside down before the end of this decade. And I want to put my investment into the hedge fund version of that thesis.' Now those stocks have fallen, so the fund's assets have also fallen.Let me ask you—do these LPs look like the type of people who would turn bearish on AI just because SK Hynix dropped 50% in six weeks? The kind who likely view the level of tech optimism akin to 'I'm going long TQQQ' as normal people treat municipal bond fund investments?Yeah... I wouldn't expect many of them to be calling Mr. Ash Burner to complain right now. Some people don't realize how insane a 2200% gain since inception (2024) really is. To put it in perspective, if you invested $100 million when SALP launched and lost ninety percent (of those gains) in July, your investment would still be worth $230 million today.I think LPs are very likely to buy the dip. Situational Awareness will get the money they're asking for. And once the capital is in, they will unwind their (likely short-term) hedges because they won't face the risk of being liquidated by their prime broker. This means the market makers who sold them those hedges will have to delta-hedge their unwind on what could be a fairly significant notional exposure. At the same time, they will deploy these funds into what they see as 'the best buying opportunity since April 2025.' I don't think Leopold is in trouble; rather, it's more likely he can raise the capital he needs, meaning it's more probable Leopold triggers a market bottom than drives AI stocks lower.If there's something I'm missing that would cause this group of AI super-believers—who are likely still significantly profitable on their SALP investment—to decide they'd rather not buy the dip, then yeah, any stock that even smells of AI might head straight to hell. But... (that's not the reality).”
Uniswap founder Hayden posted on X, stating that one of the biggest misconceptions in the DeFi space is that DEX aggregators have eliminated the distribution advantages of AMMs. Listing a token on Uniswap is like being simultaneously listed on all global exchanges for free, something other AMMs cannot achieve.

Odaily reports: In response to community members' comments that "I thought Cobie cashed out $400 million from Coinbase, but instead he ended up working for free for a billionaire," Cobie responded in a post: "I decided to make my life super stressful and busy instead of relaxing and doing nothing, so now I'm in charge of the trading products at Coinbase (Coinbase App / Pro / Base App / etc.).I can't explain why I'm doing this, except that I'd rather have a chance to build something truly good than play Factorio. So maybe I'm a fool, but let's see." Subsequently, he added: "If you want me to fix something (implying taking over the Base App), just tell me what's broken. If it's not fixed within a month, then you can call me out (implying that results will be seen within one month)."
Trump stated in an interview that the U.S. will strike Iran's "Mount Khao" underground nuclear facility and warned that it will continue to launch fierce airstrikes against Iran. Trump said, "We will destroy 'Mount Khao.' Tell the Iranians to be prepared." He noted that the U.S. has been closely monitoring the facility, adding, "There's no activity there right now. Their nuclear program is not progressing well. Every time we detect something, we blow it up. We might strike 'Mount Khao' very soon." Reportedly, "Mount Khao" is located near Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility and contains two deep underground tunnel complexes. It is considered one of Iran's most fortified underground nuclear facilities, potentially capable of withstanding attacks from even the most powerful U.S. bunker-buster bombs currently in service. Trump also reiterated that the U.S. will continue its heavy strikes against Iran tonight and tomorrow, stating, "We will hit them hard tonight and hit them hard tomorrow. There's nothing they can do about it." (Jin Shi)
Ye Su, Founding Partner of ArkStream Capital, posted on X: "Li Bojie also approached us during the fundraising stage. At the time, we thought the project had a solid background and expressed interest. Later, during the due diligence phase, we found that Li Bojie deliberately conflated interested funds with those that had already invested. The contract he sent over was extremely amateurish, and the team hadn't even figured out how to unlock the tokens. One moment they said 'we'll decide then', and the next 'we can set a term for now', so we decided to pass."Ye Su also mentioned: "Having been in primary investments for 8 years, my deepest insight is that a founder's character has nothing to do with their talent. When founders are down and fundraising, they are very humble. But when they start to gain something, that is the true test of a person's integrity. Li Bojie is a perfect example. The fact that he dares to come out and respond shows he is brazenly cheating people out of their money."
