elon musk has finally realized that his global power is not as he had expected before trump became potus. this is not a hate message. i respect the man. but it is no coincidence that he has been accumulating more haters than fans over the last couple of weeks.

$VALN is fundamentally undervalued. hope to share further insights regarding this.

the recent DeepSeek hype should NOT convince people that “China is surpassing the US in AI.” instead, one should think of it as “open source models are surpassing proprietary ones.” good projects come up with new ideas and build them on top of other people’s work.

its interesting to see that $INTC remained resilient while $NVDA crashed by over 16 percent. maybe startups will begin prioritizing cost per inference over raw performance favoring intel´s gaudi... who knows? raw power may not be the star player but heterogeneous compute.

$NVDA on DeepSeek: "DeepSeek is an excellent AI advancement and a perfect example of Test Time Scaling. DeepSeek’s work illustrates how new models can be created using that technique, leveraging widely-available models and compute that is fully export control compliant.”

DeepSeek was built in UNDER 2 months by a small team of <200 people for less than $10 million and it's now #1 on the app store. Meanwhile, the US is pouring $500 BILLION into AI. Nasdaq, you alright?

Chip Stocks Overnight Reaction to DeepSeek: 1. Arm, $ARM: -5.5% 2. Nvidia, $NVDA: -5.3% 3. Broadcom, $AVGO: -4.9% 4. Super Micro, $SMCI: -4.6% 5. Taiwan Semi, $TSM: -4.5% 6. Micron, $MU: -4.3% 7. Qualcomm, $QCOM: -2.8% 8. AMD, $AMD: -2.5% 9. Intel, $INTC: -2.0%

just in: Columbian President Petro announces that if there will be tariffs on Columbian goods, he will add 50% tariffs on US goods, and says he will not give in to retaliation. he says, "I will resist you." my view: this won't age well.

X must be playing games with its users. i used to run another account in the past, then out of nowhere, X suspended the account. i know this is more common than you think. i guess I won’t try growing much on X. readers/investors who find my bluesky account and enjoy my work will grow it.

on the 6th of september, 2024, i wrote an interesting market insight on behalf of the Fund. it's always interesting to look back in retrospect. i hope viewers and investors are able to use my work and learn something new because of it.

if you had a product that costs you $2/month and another at $200/month, which would you choose? that is the current situation OpenAI's GPT-4 is facing with the release of DeepSeek's model. i am, of course, referring to the API version from DeepSeek.

despite the fact that DeepSeek offers AI services at prices 10x cheaper than its competitors, it achieved profitability through different engineering optimizations. i will soon release my insights regarding this matter.

what is the real reason jack dorsey left bluesky? 🪺

X or Bluesky? seriously thinking about this one.

HSBC has suggested that $INTC is fairly priced at $20 amid ongoing uncertainties. i however tend to disagree. I believe $INTC is undervalued given the fact that every metric out there has doubted them.

the ADL on Elon Musk.

$intc is going to run strong throughout 2025. they will and have to recover. don’t doubt them. $intc will rip this week…

big if true. not a trump fan, just someone who understands science.

putin has just congratulated trump ahead of his inauguration. tell me this is actually happening right now.

cannot say that i’m not bullish on $ETH.

the reason people view crypto in a negative light is because of projects like these. there is no fundamental value in these “assets” and this is not a positive signal. if anything it highlights why people are against blockchain assets to begin with.

tiktok's ban in the US is a testament that true capitalism is not allowed to exist. the world will continue with $meta owning pretty much every social media we can use. talk about a free market that should foster competition...
