CEO of New Fire Group, Weng Xiaoqi: Short-term Capital Withdrawal is Positive, Crypto Industry Awaits 'ChatGPT Moment'

On May 28, Weng Xiaoqi, CEO of New Fire Group, participated in a fireside chat at the Bitfire Club exclusive event with Colin, founder of Wu Says Blockchain, and Fu Peng, chief economist of New Fire Group, sharing exclusive insights on the development cycle of the crypto industry. Weng Xiaoqi stated that Ethereum is akin to CUDA (NVIDIA's parallel computing platform), with the developer ecosystem being its core value. "Many people ask why NVIDIA is irreplaceable? Because it has CUDA—a complete development platform that developers cannot do without. The functional attributes of Ethereum are similar to CUDA: everyone develops on it, and users must consume ETH to access everything, forming a complete economic model." However, he admitted that there has been a lack of innovation on-chain in recent years, saying, "There are too few native assets, no effective innovation, and many believers have exited the market." Furthermore, Weng Xiaoqi mentioned that the withdrawal of capital may not necessarily be a bad thing. "After experiencing chaos and silence, we may welcome an explosive moment." He drew a parallel with the history of AI: "When I was studying at Tsinghua, my classmates were researching convolutional neural networks around 2011-2013, which was also the incubation period for Bitcoin. But AI truly became a societal phenomenon during the sudden explosion of ChatGPT two years ago—it had accumulated for a long time, and then one application ignited everything." Weng Xiaoqi indicated that the crypto industry might also be waiting for its own 'ChatGPT' moment. "In the second half of this year, during the World Cup, a large number of predictions may occur on decentralized markets like Polymarket. More broadly, if the traditional financial system faces a round of systemic adjustment, does wealth need a configuration direction that can hedge against single sovereign credit risks? Bitcoin might be the answer." "As a veteran in this industry since 2017, I have always been tearfully waiting for that 'ChatGPT' moment in the crypto space," Weng Xiaoqi said. "After the hot money exits, the true builders will remain."
