KÁMOŠI ....... už jsme tohle viděli dřív. Ať už to byla ICO mánie v roce 2017 nebo NFT šílenství v roce 2021, "hype cyklus" je jazyk, kterým mluvíme plynule.
Ale teď, největší bublina není na žádné krypto burze.
je to v zasedacích místnostech Silicon Valley.
Derek Thompson nedávno nastínil studenou, tvrdou pravdu, kterou většina "AI bratrů" ignoruje.
AI je oficiálně v masivní finanční bublině.
O tom není pochyb.
Matematika zatím prostě nefunguje.
Odpojení je ohromující.
Velké tech firmy Microsoft, Google, Meta utrácejí desítky miliard za Nvidia čipy a obrovská datová centra.

Десятилетиями розничные инвесторы добивались права инвестировать в частные компании наравне с венчурными фондами и ультра-богатыми игроками. История ранних вложений в Uber, Facebook или Airbnb, принесших доходность от 100х до 1000х, создала устойчивый запрос на демократизацию венчурного капитала. Сегодня эта мечта становится реальностью, но её цена оказывается значительно выше ожидаемой.
В последние годы барьеры начали стремительно рушиться. Указ Трампа от августа 2025 года открыл планам 401(k) доступ к частному капиталу, недвижимости и цифровым активам. SEC, в свою очередь, отменила жесткие ограничения для закрытых фондов, ранее доступных только аккредитованным инвесторам с высоким чеком. Европа также сделала шаг навстречу рознице через ELTIF 2.0, устранив минимальный порог входа в 10 000 евро. Параллельно с этим криптоплатформы, такие как Hyperliquid и Binance Wallet, начали предлагать токенизированные доли компаний, еще не вышедших на биржу. Технический доступ сегодня лучший в истории, однако содержание этих возможностей вызывает вопросы.
На рынке появились два знаковых инструмента. AngelList запустила USVC — венчурный фонд с порогом входа от $500, предлагающий доли в лидерах рынка ИИ, таких как OpenAI и Anthropic. Параллельно Robinhood запустил RVI, который торгуется на NYSE и позволяет покупать акции SpaceX и OpenAI так же просто, как обычные ценные бумаги. Оба продукта предлагают именно то, о чем просила розница: прямой доступ к «единорогам» до их выхода на публичный рынок.
Однако статистика указывает на скрытую проблему. Медианный возраст компании до выхода на IPO вырос с 6 до 13 лет. Маркетинг подает это как дополнительные годы роста, но реальность такова, что инвесторы вынуждены ждать выхода в два раза дольше. Согласно отчету Preqin, отсутствие экзитов является главной проблемой отрасли последние четыре года. С 2022 по 2025 год частный капитал показал доходность около 5,8% годовых, в то время как индекс S&P 500 за тот же период вырос на 11,6%. Это ставит под сомнение целесообразность премии за риск и отсутствие ликвидности.
Главный риск кроется в самих оценках. Когда розничный инвестор покупает долю в OpenAI через фонд при оценке компании в $852 млрд, он выступает стороной сделки для ранних сотрудников или ангелов, заходивших по ценам в сотни раз ниже. Для ранних участников это долгожданная фиксация прибыли, а для розницы — надежда на скромный рост после IPO при колоссальных сопутствующих рисках.
Комиссионная нагрузка также остается скрытой за агрессивным маркетингом. При заявленной комиссии за управление в 1%, реальные годовые расходы в некоторых структурах достигают 3,6%, если учитывать затраты базовых фондов. Регуляторные стены пали, и продукты стали доступны каждому, но инвестиция в зрелого гиганта на пике оценки — это не та же стратегия, которая сделала венчурные фонды богатыми. Преимущество по-прежнему остается на стороне тех, кто заходит в игру первым, а не тех, кому разрешили купить билет на финальной стадии.

Call it what it is: a tech-bro divorce where nobody signed a prenup and now they’re arguing over custody of the future.
Back in 2015, Elon Musk and Sam Altman helped birth OpenAI as a do-gooder nonprofit — “AI for humanity,” halo firmly attached. Fast-forward a few years and that halo gets quietly swapped for a limited-profit structure, a $10bn situationship with Microsoft, and a business model that whispers “alignment” but screams “revenue”.
Musk rage-quits in 2018, disappears, then re-enters like a villain in season three with xAI — his own competing AI shop — and suddenly remembers he cares deeply about the nonprofit mission. Cue lawsuit: he claims OpenAI sold its soul, broke promises, and turned a charity into a cash cow with better branding.
OpenAI’s response? “Mate, you literally suggested the for-profit pivot.” They’ve dragged out emails, receipts, and enough corporate lore to make this feel less like a lawsuit and more like leaked group chat drama. Their argument boils down to: Musk didn’t get control, so now he wants to flip the table.
By 2026, it’s in court. Musk wants up to $150bn and OpenAI forcibly dragged back into nonprofit purity. OpenAI wants the case tossed and Musk framed as a sore loser with a rocket habit and a grudge.
But zoom out and the punchline lands harder: this isn’t a morality play, it’s a power audit. The slogan was always “AI for humanity.” The subtext is “AI for whoever controls the stack.” And now the founders are in court, arguing over who gets to monetise the apocalypse first.
So the trial isn’t really deciding who’s right — it’s deciding which version of the story gets to wear the halo while counting the money.
And that’s the neat, cynical bow: in Silicon Valley, even the ethics come with an equity split.

Elon Musk used a federal courtroom in Oakland on Wednesday to deliver one of his most candid assessments of the crypto industry to date — and it wasn’t flattering. Asked to explain cryptocurrency during testimony in his ongoing legal battle against OpenAI, Musk told the court:

The remark came in an unexpected context. Musk was responding to questions about OpenAI’s 2018 plans to launch a cryptocurrency through an initial coin offering — a fundraising mechanism the then-nonprofit briefly considered before abandoning it. The revelation emerged as part of the broader legal dispute between Musk and the AI company he co-founded and later left, Fortune reports.
The OpenAI Case That Brought Crypto Into the Courtroom
The trial centers on Musk’s claim that OpenAI violated the founding principles he helped establish when it entered into a major investment deal with Microsoft and began generating commercial revenue. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015, argues the organization effectively “stole a charity” by transitioning from its nonprofit mission toward a commercially driven structure.
OpenAI’s defense is that Musk always understood the company might eventually need to operate as a for-profit entity — and the ICO discussion is central to that argument. According to OpenAI, Musk supported the idea of raising funds through a token sale, which would have required creating a for-profit subsidiary. If true, that support undermines his current position that the company’s commercial evolution was a betrayal of its founding mission.
The ICO era Musk was asked about is one of crypto’s more complicated chapters. The late 2010s saw hundreds of projects raise funds through public token sales, many of which collapsed quickly after launch — taking investor capital with them. Musk’s characterization of most crypto as scams, delivered under oath, lands differently than a tweet — and gives his skepticism a kind of institutional weight it previously lacked in public discourse.
The Contradiction Nobody Is Ignoring
The timing of Musk’s courtroom crypto skepticism is difficult to reconcile with his own history of engagement with the asset class — and the industry noticed immediately.
At roughly the same period he now criticizes, Musk’s tweets about Dogecoin were among the most market-moving forces in crypto. His posts sent the meme token surging repeatedly, minting and erasing billions in market value based on a single message. Whether that constitutes Dogecoin having “merit” by his courtroom definition is a question his critics are already asking.
Tesla’s relationship with Bitcoin is equally complicated. The company made a high-profile $1.5 billion Bitcoin purchase in early 2021 — a move that sent the market soaring and signaled that institutional adoption had arrived. Tesla then sold 75% of its holdings in mid-2022, partially missing the extraordinary bull run that followed Donald Trump’s election, when Bitcoin climbed above $120,000. The remaining position still sits on Tesla’s balance sheet.
SpaceX holds a separate Bitcoin position. And as reported earlier this month, Musk’s father Errol revealed in an interview with BeInCrypto that Elon and his brother Kimbal jointly hold approximately 23,400 Bitcoin — worth roughly $1.7 billion at current prices. For someone who believes most crypto is fraudulent, the family’s on-chain footprint is substantial.
What the OpenAI Trial Could Actually Decide
Beyond the crypto commentary, the stakes of the trial itself are significant. OpenAI is preparing for what could be one of the largest IPOs in history — and the outcome of a three-week legal battle with its most prominent co-founder could materially affect that process.
Musk is seeking to block or reverse OpenAI’s corporate restructuring, which has already attracted billions in investment from some of the world’s most sophisticated institutions. If he succeeds, the implications for OpenAI’s IPO timeline and valuation could be significant. If OpenAI prevails, it validates the restructuring and clears a major legal obstacle before going public.
The ICO revelation — that OpenAI once considered a crypto fundraise that Musk may have supported — adds a layer of irony to both sides of the dispute. A company now worth hundreds of billions briefly considered a token sale. Its co-founder, now a vocal critic of most crypto, may have endorsed that idea at the time. The gap between 2018 and 2026 contains a lot of changed positions on both sides.
Where This Leaves the Crypto Industry
Musk’s courtroom statement will circulate widely — and it will be used selectively by critics of crypto to validate skepticism and by crypto advocates to point out the hypocrisy of a man whose market influence on Dogecoin alone reshaped billions in value.
The more interesting question is what the comment reveals about how crypto is perceived by the people who have shaped it most. Musk’s nuanced position — some projects have merit, most are fraudulent — is actually closer to the mainstream view than most in the industry would like to admit. The challenge for crypto has always been that the legitimate projects and the scams are difficult to distinguish from the outside, and that difficulty is exactly what bad actors have exploited for years.
The trial continues. OpenAI has not yet rested its case.
