Justin Sun: Fully pivoted to cryptocurrency since 2012, not for profit but as a 'system upgrade' to adapt to the times.

BlockBeats news, October 9: In Shao Allen's podcast "How Can Young People Seize the Opportunities of the AI Era?", Justin Sun stated that as early as after 2012, he converted all his assets into cryptocurrency. His motivation was not to make money, but rather, like thin muscle training, "for system upgrades, to do what you believe in, and to do what is within your understanding." Justin Sun compared this to being among the first to buy an iPhone when it was just launched: "The only reason I bought Apple was because I felt this thing represented the future, not even to make money." Houses, cars, and other assets belong to the old era and cannot be "translated to machines," whereas digital currencies and Bitcoin can be recognized by machines. "The version cannot roll back; it can only update forward. The earlier the update, the earlier the rebirth." He admitted that the purchase price at the time was low, but "every place involves a purchase cost, just like it's too late to train thin muscles at seventy; it's definitely better to buy early."

Regarding calling for more storage, Justin Sun said that the trend is heading that way, and there's no need to forcefully resist it. The reason he became one of the first to call for more storage is that AI development inevitably requires storage; this is a trend judgment, not driven by profit. The reason for doing many things is not to make more money: "Making money is a byproduct, because you are doing the right thing. Why make more money? Because society evaluates it highly; why does society evaluate it highly? Over time, it's because its role in society is becoming increasingly important."
