Tech giant Meta is making frequent moves, recently announcing the acquisition of a rising star in the AI field, with a transaction amount reaching the tens of millions of dollars. Interestingly, the founder of the acquired company, Xiao Hong, has a strong background—he is a seasoned Bitcoin believer who started布局BTC as early as 2013 and witnessed the entire development process of the crypto market. Even more interesting is that this founder once rejected a $30 million olive branch from ByteDance, ultimately choosing to collaborate with Meta. From an early participant in BTC to the founder of an AI unicorn, this turning point itself is worth industry attention.

Wow, Bitcoin believers turning into AI entrepreneurs, this script is pretty intense, directly rejecting ByteDance's 30 million... --- Early BTC players are now diving into AI, this switch is quite interesting, should we follow suit? --- Reject 30 million investment from ByteDance, then get acquired by Meta for billions, whether this deal is worthwhile depends on what happens next. --- From seasoned crypto veterans to AI unicorns, Xiao Hong's move is definitely worth pondering. --- No, why reject ByteDance's money and instead invest in Meta... there's a story behind this. --- Joining BTC in 2013 and now at Meta, this turn of events is quite steep. --- Billions of dollars vs. 30 million, choosing Meta—whether his vision is sharp or not will be clear soon. --- Crypto veterans venturing into AI and being acquired by Meta for a hefty sum—this logic is quite interesting.

This guy made a fortune early on by going all-in on Bitcoin, and now he's taking off on the wave of AI. Truly visionary. Rejecting ByteDance's 30 million offer to turn around and invest in Meta—this decision was absolutely spot-on. Entering BTC in 2013 and still alive today, now a unicorn founder—that's what you call a true believer. Basically, he bet correctly on two major market trends, lucky and sharp. I'm a bit curious about what this gentleman will do at Meta in the future. Meta's commitment to AI over the past two years has indeed been significant.

Another Meta acquisition with big money, this guy shifted from Bitcoin believer to AI entrepreneur, really interesting. Rejecting ByteDance's 30 million is still too conservative, but since Meta's bid is even more aggressive, it's understandable. People who started playing BTC in 2013 are now working on AI, truly experienced the ups and downs. Early Bitcoin participants becoming AI unicorns, this leap is quite significant, but it also seems plausible. Meta's acquisition strategy is truly everywhere, just wondering what other tech giants it hasn't touched yet. Bitcoin believers were ultimately defeated by reality, they all turned to AI for gold rush. Is this a signal?

From playing BTC since 2013 to now working on AI and being acquired by Meta, this guy's intuition is truly exceptional. He turned down 30 million from ByteDance and ended up earning billions from Meta. Making the right choice is really important. Early believers always find new opportunities, and this is no coincidence. MEV arbitrage workers find this kind of story really bitter. By the way, the founder's BTC cost back then and the current AI valuation are enough to start a public fund. But to be honest, shifting from on-chain operations to AGI is such a huge leap—can he really hold up? This is truly the kind of player who benefits from the cycle...
