The CEO of a leading cryptocurrency trading platform recently responded on social media to public doubts about his continuous stock sell-offs. He frankly stated: "Having started the business 13 years ago, saying that 99.999% of my net worth has been locked in a single stock is almost impossible to achieve in reality." However, he also emphasized that most of his net assets still exist in the form of shares of the platform. The implication is clear — this is not an escape, but a move towards more rational asset allocation. Long-term entrepreneurs face such contradictions: they want to express confidence in their projects while acknowledging the necessity of diversification. This honest response perhaps better reflects a founder's true attitude than any promise.

Truth be told, no one can put their entire net worth on a single chip. Basically, it's common sense in risk management. --- Reducing holdings does look a bit uncomfortable, but compared to those who swear they believe and have already run away, this guy at least dares to speak frankly. --- It's been 13 years of messing around. If it were me, I would have diversified into real estate, art, index funds, and so on. That’s what smart investors do. --- Most of the assets are still inside, which shows people still have confidence; otherwise, they would have liquidated everything long ago. --- The question is whether the market can accept this kind of "rational exit" rhetoric. It’s called allocation in a nice way, but in less polite terms, it’s cashing out. --- It sounds reasonable, but look at how many CEOs in the crypto space really lock in their major holdings. This kind of rhetoric has been overused long ago. --- At least it’s stronger than shouting "We are unwavering" all day long. At least this time, they’re not lying.

That sounds nice to hear, but do you really believe it? Most of the net assets are still there, so which part is being reduced?

Uh... well said, but the main part still needs to be cashed out.

We've heard this set of scripts so many times, but what does real money say?

That's right, this is the reality. Who can truly stay all in on a project for 13 years without changing their mind? --- Divesting? I just want to ask, which big players haven't operated this way? Why pretend to be so pure? --- Alright, at least he's willing to tell the truth, which is better than those mouthpieces shouting HODL every day. --- Most assets are still in platform stocks; this is the key point. Everything else is noise. --- The founder's honesty is a plus; there's no need to pretend to be a tough warrior. --- Rational allocation is just rational allocation; I hate stories being spun about it. --- Anyway, no matter what he says, the market will give the answer. --- 13 years and still here, definitely a sign to diversify risk. That logic holds up. --- I prefer this pragmatic founder much more than those who are always spouting chicken soup.
