Michael Kong: Terminated involuntarily from Sonic Labs, the other party refuses to fulfill the agreement

Former Fantom Foundation Chief Information Officer and CEO Michael Kong stated that Sonic Labs issued a notice that its relationship with the company has been terminated immediately, but on the same day, they still sought his help and expressed hope for his well-being.

After eight years, both parties negotiated and signed a severance and termination agreement. For the past two and a half months, Sonic Labs has repeatedly promised to fulfill the agreement but is now refusing to do so, and the existing contractor agreements have also not been fulfilled. The termination agreement stipulates that both parties shall not publicly disparage each other, but Sonic Labs has made it public, causing damage.Kong mentioned that he worked at Fantom/Sonic for over eight years and almost single-handedly won a $150 million lawsuit for the company in Korea, which was described as the largest cryptocurrency dispute in Korea at the time. He reserves all rights to any claims against Sonic Labs and its affiliates.

Jonah Burian: Lessons from the Crypto Cycle Apply to AI Investment

Blockchain Capital investor Jonah Burian stated: Cryptocurrency accelerates market cycles, early companies gain liquidity through tokens, and market behavior is assumed to be public, with lessons applicable to AI investment. Huge results are contagious and trigger FOMO; after Bitcoin became a trillion-dollar asset, Ethereum and Solana proved that more significant outcomes are possible, leading to the rise of alt-L1 trading, with VCs treating new L1s as lottery funding. Similarly, OpenAI and Anthropic are moving towards the trillion-dollar scale, with each new lab being priced as a lottery.L1s were financed at billion-dollar valuations based on white papers and founding teams, while new labs are raising billions based on research papers and teams poached from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google DeepMind. After hot money floods in, rapid capital speculators always emerge; cryptocurrency has experienced operations like tokens as products, high FDV with low circulation, and a similar dynamic is unfolding in AI, but AI prices are formed in opaque semi-liquid secondary markets, unlike publicly traded cryptocurrencies.The blockchain space has shifted from scarcity to abundance, becoming a commodity, with applications capturing most of the value. In AI, models may become commoditized, with value shifting upstream and downstream, while applications and hardware layers gain profits, and the model layer gets squeezed. During the frenzy phase, financial capital excessively funds infrastructure, and new labs bet that it is only reasonable to assume large-scale R&D returns, with the history of cryptocurrency and alt-L1s warranting skepticism unless AGI arrives.
