Over the last 24 hours the market has been shaken again. Fear, liquidations, red candles everywhere. I get it - nobody enjoys this part of the cycle. But I want to give you an anecdote that reframed the entire situation for me. A few nights ago, I had dinner with one of our early investors - someone who has seen multiple cycles and made generational money by staying rational when everyone else panics. He told me how, during the 10/10 crash, he managed to buy Bitcoin below $100k. I asked him point-blank: “What if it dropped to $89k? Wouldn’t you feel like you bought too early?” His answer was brutally simple: “If Bitcoin is going to $150k, will you really care whether you entered at $98k or $89k?” That stuck with me. Just the other day, BTC was ~$106k. Today it tapped $97k. Suddenly, I was right back inside that conversation. This is the exact setup that investor described - the emotional discomfort that precedes the rational opportunity. So I bought more. Not because I enjoy red charts, but because conviction gets cheaper on days like this. And that’s the perspective I want to offer all of you: If you believe in what you’re holding, this isn’t fear - this is asymmetry. Right now, many people are staring at ETH, their alts, and yes, Aethir, asking: “Where is the bottom? When does this stop?” Here’s the hard truth: Bottoms are only obvious in hindsight. Opportunities aren’t. If you understand the fundamentals of what we’re building, if you understand the trajectory of compute demand, if you understand what it means that Aethir now has a publicly listed Strategic Compute Reserve operating in the real world - then days like this don’t shake you. They make you sharpen your focus. Sentiment ≠ Value Sentiment is a lagging indicator. Value is not. In every cycle, the emotional timeline is upside-down: - People are euphoric at the top - People are terrified at the bottom - And they always wish they had acted differently in retrospect We’re simply in one of those moments. Where Aethir Stands Right Now: We are in the strongest operational position we’ve ever been in. - The Aethir DAT is live and fully operational - We are now interacting with public market mechanics, which means we must share information carefully and correctly - We have multiple enterprise-grade initiatives about to enter public visibility - And we’re executing with the precision of a team that knows exactly what the future looks like I’m not exaggerating when I say: - I’ve never been more bullish on where Aethir is heading. - I’ve never been more proud of our execution. - I’ve never been more certain this is the beginning of our next major acceleration. We’ve made good decisions. We’ve executed well. We’ve positioned ourselves precisely for moments like this - where the market shakes weak hands and rewards the ones who stay focused. We are, quite literally: Poised like a spring. Stay steady out there. We’re going to surprise a lot of people.
