This was the highest volume day on $IBIT, ever, by a factor of nearly 2x, trading $10.7B today. Additionally, roughly $900M in options premiums were traded today, also the highest ever for IBIT. Given these facts and the way $BTC and $SOL traded down in lockstep today (normally SOL trades with beta) + the relatively lower liquidations on CeFi exchanges, this leads me to believe that the nexus of the problem lies with a large IBIT holder. IBIT has become the #1 venue for BTC options trading, so my guess is that a hedge fund trading IBIT options is the culprit. If you look at the 13F filings for IBIT (I like whalewisdom dot com), you'll find a number of interesting names that have the majority of their fund in IBIT. In fact, there are a few in there (not naming names) that have 100% of their fund in IBIT, which likely means no cross margin. In fact, the biggest reason to set up a fund to hold a single asset would be to isolate margin, so that if the trade blew up, the brokers wouldn't have claim to any other assets. Interestingly, most of these giant, single asset funds are based in HK. We know that Asian traders, particularly in China, have been deeply involved in the Silver and Gold trade. Silver was down 20% today, which was the 2nd largest 1 day move in a very long time (largest on Jan 30). We also know that the JPY carry trade has been unwinding at an increasingly rapid pace. This leads me to think that the culprit for the IBIT blowup today was 1 or more HK-based non-crypto hedge funds. As @FranklinBi pointed out, the fund(s) being non-crypto would explain why no one sniffed them out. They would likely have few/no crypto counterparties, meaning complete isolation from CT. The last small piece of evidence I have is that I personally know a number of HK-based hedge funds that are holders of $DFDV, which had the worst single down day ever, with a meaningful mNAV decline. The mNAV had been holding steady surprisingly well throughout this pull back until today. One of these fund(s) could have been connected to the IBIT culprit, as I highly doubt a fund taking that large of a position in IBIT and using a single entity structure would only have the one fund. Now, I could easily see how the fund(s) could have been running a levered options trade on IBIT (think way OTM calls = ultra high gamma) with borrowed capital in JPY. Oct 10th could very well have blown a hole in their balance sheet, that they tried to win back by adding leverage waiting for the "obvious" rebound. As that led to increased losses, coupled with increased funding costs in JPY, I could see how the fund(s) would have gotten more desperate and hopped on the Silver trade. When that blew up, things got dire and this last push in BTC finished them off. I have no hard evidence here, just some hunches and bread crumbs, but it does seem very plausible. Let's see if some more concrete evidence floats to the surface here soon. The smoking gun will be a large fund fitting this profile filing a 13F showing a giant IBIT holding going to zero. Unfortunately, if a fund had their IBIT position liquidated today, they wouldn't have to disclose the position change until 45 days after the quarter end, so we'd be looking at mid May for the smoking gun from 13F filings most likely. Hopefully some of you out there with too much time on your hands this weekend can snoop around more. My guess is that word will start to get out, because something of this size is just too hard to hide. Additionally, if the broker was not able to liquidate the fund in time, the broker may have a hole in their balance sheet, which would be even more difficult to hide.

为什么还没出现物理外挂的 Agent 形式, 还是我没看到而已? 感觉物理外挂机型兼容更强, 还不怕来自系统层面的封禁, 为什么还没有出现呢🤓





警告:忽略短期波动,AI投资将100倍增长 经历过至少一个市场周期的人,都会本能地对远超历史平均水平的价格上涨保持警惕。目睹过互联网泡沫、2008年全球金融危机以及加密货币的兴衰更替,会在你的大脑中建立起模式识别的警报机制。 很多人会警惕现在AI泡沫是不是太大,价格太高了? 你不想因为价格过高而贸然入市,也不想因为价格过高而抛售手中的资产。 但我们必须认识到,我们正处于历史上最独特的不对称时期之一。现在唯一应该做的就是延长投资期限,彻底摒弃短期主义。 过度担忧泡沫是愚蠢的。试图择时入市也是愚蠢的。短期波动和调整总是会发生,但由于我们距离奇点如此之近,这些波动完全是噪音。 人工智能、机器人、能源和创新领域将迎来爆发式增长。未来十年内,我们将拥有数十亿(甚至更多)人工智能代理工人、人形机器人、太空数据中心、多行星殖民、大幅改进的医疗技术,并从根本上改变所有领域技术突破的发展速度和数量。 未来二十年,我们将取得比整个人类文明史总和还要多的技术进步和经济增长。 我们已经进入了J型曲线的陡峭阶段,但如果放大到每天或每周的进度,就很难察觉到这一点。 Anthropic公司100%的产品代码现在都由Claude编写。产品经理们拥有一支虚拟软件工程师团队,几乎可以改变时间。高效利用人工智能的公司,其产品迭代速度的提升幅度不是个位数,也不是两位数,而是三位数。 而且这些工具的功能还在以更快的速度提升。我们究竟是在2027年还是2029年正式达到人工智能时代(ASI)其实并不重要。它终将到来。到那时,你想要拥有的资产价格将会翻好几倍。 未来3-10年的实际经济增长很可能在任何历史分布中都达到20个标准差的水平。这种增长此前被认为几乎不可能实现,而是由前所未有的二阶和三阶变化驱动的。传统的估值模型无法对这些变化进行定价。潜在的增长空间如此巨大,以至于很难用传统的现值计算方法来捕捉。 财富增长的速度将极其惊人,就像加密货币最初在短时间内造就众多亿万富翁和千万富翁时一样,但规模要大得多。如果不加以重视,很难把握如此快速上涨的价格,但与以往的泡沫不同,实际经济价值的创造将能够更好地跟上资产垂直增长的步伐。过去三年中,那些理解指数增长规律并进行投资的人已经获益匪浅。如果你还没有意识到这一点,现在还不算晚。 时刻关注下行风险固然重要,但这是世界历史上最大的上行风险。要学会承受更长时间的风险。现在不是交易的好时机。对绝大多数人来说,投资通常比交易收益更高,但交易和投资的预期收益之间的差距将会比以往任何时候都更大。 奇点事件中蕴含的看涨期权价值几何?

True. Once the solar energy generation to robot manufacturing to chip fabrication to AI loop is closed, conventional currency will just get in the way. Just wattage and tonnage will matter, not dollars.
