Be Jensen:
> Asian American Dishwasher at Dennys
> Founded $NVDA and pioneered GPU computing
> Took an extraordinary gamble in CUDA, despite the company close to bankruptcy risk.
> Bet paid off heavily, and Nvidia was there as the infrastructure for deep learning and generative AI.
> Spent last 33 years of his life growing $NVDA, and finally saw it become a $5T+ company
> Devoted his life to establishing American AI leadership
> Started having more influence on policies that Washington conflicted with
> Leaks and hit pieces happen all at once around midterms
> Washington tries to push out others like Lutnick that shared similar China stances to Jensen.
> Forced to resign by Taco Bell and NFL experience board members over unconfirmed Spy accusations + personal relationships.
> Huang's leadership then questioned by politicians that ask how $META makes money or how Wifi works.
> Slandered by US media that think because Mcdonalds did well under a CEO change, so can American semiconductors like $NVDA.
This feels like a horrible joke. Jensen Huang was the pinnacle of visionary tech CEOs and living the American dream.
Ousting Jensen Huang will go down as one of most consequential and darkest decisions in recent US history.

Five suicide attempts couldn’t kill her. An HIV diagnosis was supposed to finish the job. Instead, she walked into a body modification studio and started cutting away everything that made her human. Both ears. 32 teeth. Her nose. She split her tongue, implanted 18 horns into her skull, and covered every inch of skin in scales. Today she goes by “it” - and says she’s never been happier.
Her full name is Eva Tiamat Baphhomet Medusa. The world calls her the Dragon Lady. She calls herself “the world’s most modified transsexual.” Before any of this, she was Richard Hernandez - a vice president at a bank in Texas.
She grew up in Bruni, a town of 300 people near the Mexican border. As a freshman in high school, she walked up and down the streets screaming “I’m gay” at the top of her lungs in one of the most machismo regions in the country. “Closets are for clothes and tennis shoes,” she says.
At 18, she left for Houston. Fresh from a town with no skyscrapers, she didn’t know you couldn’t trust just anyone. Two men raped her. She doesn’t hate them. “I’m not them,” she says.
She became a banker. Built a career. Then came the HIV diagnosis, which later progressed to AIDS. She left the bank to take care of her health and nearly died. That’s when something shifted. “I decided I’m not going to die looking like a human,” she told Soft White Underbelly. “Being human has been such a negative part of life.”
She spent over $60,000 on body modifications. Not with doctors - with body modification artists. She was the fifth person in the world to get horns implanted into her cranium. She was the first person ever to have both ears surgically removed for cosmetic reasons. She had her testicles removed and plans a full penectomy. “I will be a genderless dragon,” she says. “That’s what dragons are.”
Her son hasn’t spoken to her since the transformation. She did some of the modifications specifically so he could see what his father was becoming. “His weird-looking, strange, used to be a man, is now a woman, is now a reptilian, dad,” she says.
She was abandoned in the woods as a child by her birth parents. She denounced them in favor of a snake. She tried to take her own life five times before the transformation gave her a reason to stay. “My transformation is by and large what saved my life after five failed suicide attempts,” she says. “I am truly happy for the first time in my life.”
She prefers the pronoun “it.” Just like a snake. She swallows food whole because she only has six teeth left - representing the mouth of a rattlesnake. Sirens drive her crazy because without ears, everything sounds louder. She makes cotton candy for the neighborhood kids, and her neighbors say her energy is “the most gentle and pleasant” they’ve ever been around.
In the video below, you can see Tiamat sitting across from the interviewer with her full-face scale tattoos, horn implants, and no ears, calmly describing how she eats, why she removed her teeth, and the moment she decided to stop being human.
Some will say she’s mentally ill and needs help, not a body modification studio. Others will say she found the only thing that kept her alive when nothing else could.
If removing every trace of your humanity is what finally made you happy - were you ever really human to begin with?

imagine uniswap v4 hooks that can read hyperliquid's order books and execute trades directly on hypercore
all onchain, with 100ms blocks
that's what elysium is opening up for builders
some things i'd love to see:
- token launches with built-in market making
- v4 hooks that react to perp markets
- yield vaults that automatically hedge risk
- new ways to launch and bootstrap markets
- financial products combining spot and perps
and there's much more to explore...
this is exactly what we want to help builders launch at bankr
tokens built around new ideas in onchain finance
if you're building on elysium, we'd love to help bring it to market

At 47 he paid the SEC $20 million for a tweet a jury later found him not guilty for. If he hadn't paid, Tesla would have gone bankrupt the same day:
His CFO told him the banks would pull every credit line instantly.
He calls it a hostage negotiation.
Then he explains why the SEC never touches hedge funds.
Save this.

In M&A, most founders only find out what a banker is actually for once they're in the middle of a deal.
@rahulvohra has sold two companies and explains it clearly. It's worth hearing before you need one.

刚听完 Star 的主题演讲,
佳佳带大家以最快速度直击 #
OKXNOW# 峰会现场!:
1️⃣ Star 竟然现场曝光了 OKX 的每月 AI 账单?
高达千万美元???没错,这个投入规模也说明,AI 在 OKX 已经不是一个停留在概念层面的辅助工具。
从研发、运营到产品和用户体验,AI 正在与 OKX 深度融合,并逐渐成为产品能力的核心组成部分。
2️⃣ OKX 从 13 年前开始,就带着创新和变革的基因
OKX 与 Crypto 一起成长了 13 年,从现货交易扩展到衍生品、Web3、自托管钱包、支付和全球市场。
Star 在现场说了一句让我印象特别深的话(原话类似如下):
“The exchange was our starting point—not our destination.”
交易所是 OKX 的起点,但绝不是终点。
3️⃣ Crypto 起源于一场伟大的社会实验
从极客、密码学和早期信仰者,到交易所、ICO、DeFi、稳定币、合规建设,再到今天与传统金融、支付和资产代币化加速融合——Crypto 正在从一场社会实验,成长为全球金融基础设施。
4️⃣ 传统金融和大型机构关注币圈,意义远不只是资本入场
越来越多机构开始关注和进入 Crypto。对行业来说,重要的不只是“钱来了”,而是 Crypto 正在得到主流金融的认可,开始真正走向主流。
5️⃣ 互联网、Crypto 与 AI 正在深度融合
互联网让信息全球即时流通,Crypto 让价值能够全球流动并具备可编程性,AI 则让智能服务规模化、个性化。
三种技术走到一起,改变的不只是某个产品,而是整个金融体系的运行方式。
6️⃣ 未来,每个人都可能拥有自己的 AI Banker
它能够理解你的收入、风险偏好和人生目标,帮助你制定理财计划,并随着市场变化和目标进度动态调整。过去主要面向高净值客户的个性化金融服务,未来这些服务可能通过 AI ,真正走向每一个人。
7️⃣ 创新越快,信任与合规越重要
“Trust matters.”
金融最终建立在信任之上。过去十多年,OKX 持续建设合规、审计、治理、风控和机构级基础设施。只有创新与信任并行,Crypto 才能真正进入主流世界。
佳佳认为,Star 今天释放的信号可以浓缩成三句话:
AI changes how people work.
Crypto changes how money works.
And OKX NOW shows us that the future of finance isn’t coming—it’s already here.
未来已来,The future is NOW.
