Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said in an interview with Tencent News "Qianwang" that OpenAI has now become CloseAI. Today, another problem has emerged: First, they sacrificed their open source for security; then this year, they sacrificed their security for profit. Last year, the company and the board of directors clashed, and after the conflict, it seemed that Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO) won. Recently, they announced that they would change from a non-profit to a for-profit company and reduce the power of the board of directors - it can be said to be reduced to the level of advisors. This makes me more worried. This reminds me of a saying of a founding father in the United States: You cannot sacrifice freedom for security. If you do this, you will find that you will have neither security nor freedom. Looking at OpenAI's behavior, it seems that this has happened.

Andrew Kang, partner of Mechanism Capital, wrote on the X platform in the early morning: "The current decentralized science (DeSci) field feels like the DeFi era in early 2019. Although everything is still in its infancy and very experimental, everyone involved can feel its huge potential. Current projects may not use the same model or products in the future because they are being developed through iterations. Maker, Synthetix, and Aave were also some bulky small-cap projects in 2019, but now they have grown into large protocols. Here are some of the most interesting projects I think: BIO Protocol, Pump Science, GLP1."

PANews reported on November 24 that according to Yahoo Finance, Sean Farrell, head of digital asset strategy at Fundstra, said in his latest client report that "friends and family" are asking about cryptocurrencies again. Judging from quantifiable market indicators, the current situation does not show the bubble of the March rebound or the cyclical peak at the end of 2021. For example, the current kimchi premium indicator data in the Korean market is about 0%, indicating a lack of over-excitement among Korean traders. Normally, if the market reaches its peak, the kimchi premium will soar to more than 10%. The rise in the past week should not be regarded as a purely speculative boom, and Bitcoin may still have room to rise.
