A few months ago I spoke to a British guy in his 60s that backpacked across Asia in the late 80s and early 90s, and asked him about his experiences. - In Indonesia, everyone was nice and wanted to sleep with him - Philippines, everyone wanted to scam him - Japan, everyone just wanted to chat and hang out (being white in Japan was a huge premium in those days) - China, everyone wanted to pitch business ideas and practice their English with him That's literally it - the women didn't want to sleep with him, the people didn't even want to scam him, and everyone just wanted to talk business, business, business. Part of the reason why the Chinese have eclipsed their counterparts is because they crave success at all costs. They do not care about bending the rules and getting things done. They are laser focused with the fervour of a thousand scorching suns because they have seen firsthand how their countrymen got obscenely rich through riding a wave for a few years and capitalizing on whatever was hot at the time. "Lord I see what you have done for others.." etc etc Bending the rules is a given, the aftermath is what concerns him - what are the realistic odds of getting into real trouble? The world is actually incredibly lenient - we see this all the time. Migrants in the UK can get deported 3 times and still come back, even if they found weapons in their flats. HSBC laundered billions for Mexican drug cartels, no one cares. Volkswagen rigged emission tests - came out mostly unscathed. SBF stole billions, now he's glazing Trump on X and will probably get a pardon at some point in the next 5-10 years or so. The hotel won't do shit. It won't issue a 10 year ban, even if they have his passport info and everything. Most he gets is a warning or complaint from cleaning staff (which is probably imported from SEA countries anyways), and how does that affect him exactly? Smoke that cigarette, chinaman - the world is your oyster.

yea two quite conflicting camps here i have a ton of respect for jason and have no doubt in his expertise, but coming from crypto we know this is not a game of fundamentals being a $LITE maxi and comparing $SIVE to a pump and dump scheme does not makes sense as i see it they’re the same trade. and the leader paves the way for the followers. if one believes that the whole space of photonics is gonna rerate massively, $SIVE should have a lot of room to run even though it is fundamentally expensive. the price to earnings doesn’t really matter, as there’s a bunch of other catalysts, such as tapping into larger pools of capital

$SIVE Pretty funny seeing this cycle after cycle. The same human behavior and conflict repeats. There will be someone who shouts “but it’s not following its value on paper! It’s speculative!” Some remain bearish as it keeps mooning, some even short it (and get rekt). When do ya’ll realize stocks are a game of speculation, prediction and perception? You can’t solve a game of human psychology using math, numbers, straight logic. I can only speak for myself. Intuition wins, too much paper logic disrupts my intuition.
Jason's Chips@jasonschips

" $SIVE can reach $80b because $LITE is $80b" has to be the dumbest and most dangerous investment thesis ever. People will lose their savings listening to all this misinformation. It's sad and needs to stop (I am starting an anti $SIVE crusade). 1. $SIVE is not a bottleneck (despite it being the poster child of the photonics bottleneck craze). A bottleneck, by definition, must be the company that constrains the production of a massive downstream industry. To constrain production, you must both own hard physical assets and hold a dominant market share position. Sivers has neither. Sivers is a fabless design company that relies on WIN for Foundry services, and with revenues of ~$30 million, they hold near zero market share in the massive datacom laser industry. 2. Supply chain analysis is misleading. In semiconductors (or any industry producing a durable manufactured good) switching costs are near zero while process power, cornered resources, and scale dominate. Therefore, "who has a superior product" is far more important than "who supplies what to whom." CPO external light sources require quality lasers meeting noise (linewidth and RIN) and power (400mW+) specs. $SIVE lasers are far inferior to that of larger peers like $LITE. 3. $SIVE valuation is comically detached from reality. On NTM metrics, $LITE trades at 14x EV/Revenue and 32x EV/EBITDA while $SIVE trades at 50x and 650x (!!) those same metrics. As a permanent AI infra bull, I fully agree that consensus is too conservative; however, they are not off by two orders of magnitude. The misinformation needs to stop. Let's help actually help retail understand what they own.

« China is undergoing a Darwinian-style societal upgrade at an extremely high frequency. Those who outrun the times see a golden age ahead; those left behind by the times see apocalyptic collapse. And China's ruthlessness lies in this: both feelings are real. » We make fun of the saboteurs and the luddites…but from their point of view their livelihoods were destroyed and not replaced.
夏河@jlaw520

完全相信你说的萧条,且悲观认为今日萧条百业未来也不会好了。中国发展有多快淘汰就有多残酷。很多人把“民生痛感”误读成“国家崩溃”,但其实它更像是中国式大转型的阵痛。 中国社会过去几十年其实反复经历过这种东西。①九十年代国企改革,下岗潮来了,很多工人阶级一夜之间从“国家主人”变成社会边缘人。那个时代对个人来说是灾难,但从国家结构看,它是计划经济向市场经济转型的代价。②千禧年之后,互联网经济崛起,大量传统实体店、传统渠道商、线下中间商被冲垮;后来电商、外卖、直播、短视频又不断重组商业模式。③到了今天,AI、新能源、智能制造、高端供应链、平台经济继续向前冲,旧行业、旧生意、旧技能、旧人脉关系一夜全废。 所以问题的本质不是『中国有没有发展』而是:中国的发展太快,快到每一代人都会被自己曾经赖以生存的经验抛弃。所以网上那句『中国高铁太快了,请等等人民』无奈又悲情 中国正在以极高频率进行社会达尔文式升级。跑赢时代的人,眼前是黄金年代;被时代甩下的人,眼前是末日崩塌。而中国的残酷就在于:这两种感受都是真的。

新加坡今年确实有新盘首周末卖掉九成的案例,但拿这些盘来反驳高端住宅冷清,本质是没看懂市场分层。 我说的是顶奢豪宅,尤其是总价 1000 万新币以上、过去依赖外国买家和超高净值人群接盘的那一类。这个市场现在流动性很差,不是没人喜欢,而是接盘人太窄:本地有钱人数量有限,外国买家 60% ABSD 直接把大部分需求打没了。 今年卖得好的那些新盘,核心不是“豪宅市场火”,而是总价控制得好、性价比足够强,主要吸引的是本地居民和 PR 的真实自住/改善需求。很多单位总价远低于 1000 万新币,买家能算得过账,自然有人抢。 所以现在新加坡楼市不是全面冷,也不是全面热,而是极度分化: 本地刚需和改善盘很热,EC 很热,地段好、总价可控的新盘很热;但顶奢高总价住宅,尤其靠外国买家撑流动性的那一类,现在就是很难卖。

新加坡房产市场因为对国外人60%税,高端住宅几乎无人问津,新加坡本地人不可能去买condo,去年几个比较好的楼盘,开盘至今一路降价,很少人买。

It’s is inaccurate. the team has been operating in China for years, developed product there with local engineers and some gov subsidized offices etc. Only moved to sg (fired 70% of ppl and not serving Chinese customers anymore) to ensure they can seamlessly leverage US LLM capabilities. No wonder Beijing is mad about it.

Beijing just killed Meta’s $2B acquisition of Manus AI - a Singapore co. The deal was called “Singapore washing” — founders incorporating in Singapore to dodge both country of origin’s scrutiny. If Beijing can reach in and unwind a Singaporean Pte Ltd, what stops them from doing it to dozens of other PRC-founded startups in Singapore? And what stops India, Indonesia, or any other country from doing the same to their nationals abroad? Many of Singapore’s most successful founders are foreign nationals who converted after a few years. Grab — Malaysian. Shopee — China. Nium — Indian. So is this Manus incident the start of something more serious?

Was chatting with one of the smartest guys I know in public equities this week and talked about SaaS stocks, his answer still sticks with me. Me: You spending any time in SaaS land at all? Him: You're not talking to somebody who woke up a loser. SaaS is gonna play defense for the next decade, that's a loser position, I don't back losers, I don't short exponential rise of intelligence that will iron out all friction between atom and bits. He obviously watches the Jensen interview.

"Singapore has no startups because everything is too convenient" Bro China has the most convenient payment and utility payment systems on earth. That clearly didn't stop them. The real problem: Singapore's system is so well-designed that the rational move for a smart person is to never leave it. NUS → DBS → $10K/month by 30. The expected value genuinely beats startup odds. Smartest locals I know "try" startup for one year — after thinking about it for three. Meanwhile US/China founders just jump. And if Grab started in SG instead of Malaysia, you think MOT wouldn't have shut it down before Series A? It's not convenience. It's a system optimized for comfort, and a culture that counts the odds before jumping.

as i paid my singapore taxes last weekend i realized singapore will never be a great startup hub. because everything just works too well here. it takes me sub 5 mins to file my taxes. this would have cost thousands and way more hours in the US. ride hailing and micro mobility are capped because of great public transportation. healthcare is so cheap you don’t even think about trying to AI compare / navigate care

Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone. No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum. Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too. Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund. It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital. And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee. — Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital. Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring. But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line. This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in. Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition. But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital. USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages. It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere. There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction. USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid. Get access here: usvc.com

既然还在讨论,那就再说说看。 真的厌恶操纵的人应该早早把大仓位在股票或者只玩B E了。去年之后也没见川沐炒币了啊,做空亏钱是很惋惜,但开仓的时候难道不是奔着赚钱去的?所以是恨操纵还是恨方向做反了?不能既贪图来钱快的高波动又想杜绝风险吧。 这么黑森林的地方,诈骗项目方很多本来就是币圈的底色。为什么币圈几次出圈都靠meme?因为meme也是币圈最好的底色。Rave是诈骗,Opnion Backpack就没有更诈骗吗,他们创始人都实名的,咋还活着呢。山寨币有没有价值不需要圈外人怎么看吧?没有Rave就代表币圈不是诈骗?我们留下来的难道心里没数?恨的是操纵,还是自己没早早的就在被操纵的车上呢? 如果不是这样,最近一周的涨幅榜,大家追来追去,又算什么呢? 币圈以前红利不就是来自不成熟不合规吗,成熟监管严格的市场又不是没有,为啥不选? 交易所既然回复了,那就一查到底全查一遍,诈骗历史和诈骗倾向的统统下架,现在应该不少壳子收了筹码摩拳擦掌呢。下呗,下不下呢?下了币圈还剩几个项目? 别说我没同理心,不可能你亏钱我开心,就事论事罢了,而且也说过无数遍,玩不过狗庄就别和他玩了,做空庄币很择时,ev很差。就算我上也一样。亏钱怪操纵,赚钱要分钱给操纵吗。 一直跌的操纵,不是比一直涨的操纵,更能代表币圈是诈骗吗。
