The shift in the crypto fundraising landscape the past 6 months has been insane. Crypto VCs used to have to constantly be networking/writing/podcasting/going on spaces/promoting your thesis/getting on 10 deal flow calls a week, to get into good deals...now it's literally enough to just have capital to write checks. Deals are being pushed rather than dug out. Inbound if people know you have money is at an all-time high. Most firms are either 1) Out of money 2) Moved to Series A and beyond or 3) Fundraising (with no success). Deals that used to close in 2-3 weeks now close in 2-3 months. Firms with questionable business models or copy pasta of the latest trend are getting zero primary or follow-on funding (Good news!). There are now realistically <20 firms writing checks in pre-seed/seed. VCs basically have the pick of any deal they want, with more time to do DD. IMHO 25/26 are going to be historic vintages for those who stick around.

Both OKX and Binance are regulated by multiple regulators. As the UBO of a regulated company, publicly offering a $1 billion bet is hardly professional conduct. I would be curious whether Binance’s regulators consider that acceptable. As for whether you have misled the public and lie to world, the test is actually simple: has your Binance stake been legally separated with your ex-wife or not? Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have already shown what proper asset separation looks like in a divorce.

I typically ignore all these false claims attacks. But... You can apologize now. I am officially divorced. I won't post any legal docs online, as I respect privacy of my ex-wife, and I appreciate the time we spent together. I am happy to bet $1 billion USD (or any number you choose) that: I am officially divorced (way before today). If you agree to take the bet, we can get lawyers to validate my divorce agreement, which should be dead simple. This bet offer is valid permanently, whenever you feel ready. But if you don't take it within 24hrs, it clearly shows who has been mis-representing to the public. Moving on to better things to do.

如果首富能够拿出截至今天、经双方签字确认的离婚协议，我将立即公开道歉。 如果拿不出这样的协议，却在媒体和书中宣称自己已经离婚，那就是在公然对公众撒谎。这不过是他又一次理直气壮地向公众撒谎的例子。

If he can produce a divorce agreement signed by both parties as of today, I will immediately issue a public apology. If he cannot, yet claims in the media and in his book that he is already divorced, then that is a clear misrepresentation to the public — yet another example of him making such claims with confidence.
