Regarding the issues of BitMart users' asset withdrawal restrictions and employees' unpaid salaries and compensations, employees of the platform publicly called on BitMart's management and relevant responsible parties to respond publicly by August 19 regarding the whereabouts of user assets, the platform's reserve situation, the reasons for withdrawal restrictions, and employee salary compensations. The open letter pointed out that a large number of users are still unable to withdraw their assets normally, and some employees have not received their last month's salary and due compensation; against this backdrop, if the platform only responds with announcements such as "ceasing operations," it cannot resolve the actual problems faced by users and employees. Relevant individuals requested that BitMart publicly disclose wallet, asset, liability, and available reserve information that can be verified by third parties, and explain when the platform became aware of the funding and withdrawal issues, who made the relevant decisions, and whether it continued to encourage users to redeem or trade despite being aware of the risks.The open letter also called for an investigation into related accounts, affiliated companies, trusts, and other funding arrangements associated with BitMart user assets, and specifically requested that the founder's partner provide explanations regarding their related accounts and funding situation. The open letter stated that there is currently information pending further verification indicating that BitMart accounts related to the founder's partner may have held assets worth tens of millions of dollars and have records of batch withdrawals; relevant individuals emphasized that no criminal characterization will be made against any individual until evidence is fully verified, but they demanded public clarification on whether the aforementioned accounts exist, asset ownership, sources of funds, transfer directions, and whether there is any connection with BitMart user assets, and called for an independent investigation into the relevant fund flows. At the same time, the open letter requested that BitMart promptly settle the salaries and compensations owed to employees, asserting that ordinary employees should not bear the consequences of management's operational decisions.In addition, the open letter requested that BitMart publish a user repayment plan with a clear execution timeline by August 19, including the scale of remaining assets, total liabilities, expected recovery ratio for users, repayment order, start and completion times, and supervision mechanisms, and explicitly stated acceptance of third-party independent audits. The open letter indicated that if a complete, transparent, and verifiable asset explanation and repayment plan are not obtained by then, they will consider submitting existing materials, funding clues, and relevant evidence to law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities, lawyers, and the media in various locations to promote further investigation.

Strategy CEO Phong Le shared his experience in a bear market, stating that he once believed everyone would view Bitcoin as an asset that increases by 30% annually and is completely liquid, thinking that holding as much Bitcoin as possible to support digital credit products was more important than holding dollars. However, the market shows that, apart from Bitcoin and DeFi participants, institutions will invest short-term funds for 6 months, as they value cash more, which is an important lesson.Currently, the company has 2.7 years of dividend coverage and $4.75 billion in cash. Phong Le indicated that he might prefer to hold Bitcoin, but making Stretch operate is essential for MSTR and Bitcoin to function. Some people only want dividend coverage, and the substantial cash indicates that the company is listening to these voices.

"White-haired stock god" Serenity stated that AI investment may be simpler than the market imagines, as Nvidia and its CEO Jensen Huang have actually been releasing signals of future industry trends in advance, but the market often chooses to ignore these trends before they truly explode. Serenity noted that when Nvidia heavily locked in EML (Electrically Modulated Laser) and laser production capacity in 2025, the market questioned the photonics sector, believing that related companies had issues with speculation or even management. However, a year later, the stock prices of related optical communication companies surged significantly. Among them, LITE rose by 678%, and AAOI rose by 475.12%.Serenity believes that the market is currently repeating a similar pattern. In 2026, Nvidia locked in continuous wave (CW) laser and EML production capacity through long-term agreements, while clearly promoting the transition to an 800V power architecture and repeatedly emphasizing that co-packaged optics (CPO) and "Physical AI" will become important trends in the next phase. The market may once again underestimate the industry signals released by Nvidia, but Nvidia and Jensen Huang's judgments often serve as leading indicators of AI industry trends.
