Websea 行銷長 Herbert Sim：加密 OG 正在投資超人類主義

0:00比特幣人自我介紹與資歷

0:00大家好，我是 Herbert Sim，也就是大家熟知的 Bitcoin Man。我從 2016 年開始就以這個身份活躍，到現在已經滿十年了。不過，其實我更早在 2010 年就進入加密貨幣圈，至今已經 16 年了。我創立了全球第一個專門彙整區塊鏈研究論文的資料庫，叫做 Crypto Chain Uni。很多早期的 cypherpunk 朋友應該都記得我，因為我當時是推廣比特幣最大聲的人之一。My name is Herbert Sim. I am the Bitcoin man. So I've been the Bitcoin man since 2016. So up to date, it's already 10 years, one full decade already. But actually, I've been in crypto since 2010, right, 16 years ago. I founded the world's first repository for compiling blockchain research papers. It's called Crypto Chain Uni. A lot of these early-day cypherpunks will remember me as well because I was one of the loudest guys marketing Bitcoin.

0:46今天我要跟大家分享一個非常特別的主題，這是你在全球任何金融科技場合都聽不到的內容，甚至連主舞台都不會談，因為這是非常內部的消息。主題就是：所有的加密 OG 都在投資『超人類主義』（transhumanism）。我自己就是 OG，所以我最清楚這個趨勢。舉例來說，像 Elon Musk 的 Neuralink、Colossal Biosciences 這類公司，甚至在復活古代恐龍。Today, I want to talk to you about a very, very special topic that you cannot hear anywhere else in the world for the fintech industry. Not even on the main stages, you will not hear this because this is very, very insider news. The topic today is all the crypto OGs are investing in transhumanism. I would know it best because I'm a crypto OG myself. I'm talking about the likes of Neuralink of Elon Musk. I'm talking about Colossal Biosciences, whereby they revive ancient dinosaurs.

1:29從加密到超人類主義的先行者

1:29再簡單自我介紹一下，我在加密圈已經 16 年了，曾經是 Huobi（現在叫 HTX）的全球營運總監。我是把他們從中國帶到新加坡的核心團隊成員之一，2017 年 12 月 ICO 熱潮時，我們 13 秒內募到 4 億美元。我一直熱衷於研究，也很早就投入超人類主義。像 Neurochip 這個網站，是我在 Elon Musk 註冊 Neuralink 之前 17 年就註冊的。Just a quick introduction again. I've been in crypto for the past 16 years up to date. Formerly, I was the Global Operations Director at Huobi. Today it's renamed to HTX. I was the guy that actually, the core team that brought them out from China into Singapore. We raised 400 million in 13 seconds, creating the ICO boom in December 2017. I've always been a researcher myself. I'm very, very deep into transhumanism. You can see that it's actually registered in 1997. I'm also behind Neurochip, which is neurochip.com, which is registered 17 years before Elon Musk even registered Neuralink.

2:15我一直走在時代前端，無論是加密還是超人類主義。因為我在這個圈子很久，所以有先發優勢，16 年來一直在全球推廣比特幣。到現在，我的訂閱人數已經超過 1,000 萬，四個月前還特別慶祝過這件事，也曾被 Elle 等雜誌報導。So I've been ahead of the game, like from crypto and transhumanism as well. Like I mentioned earlier, because I've been in the space for some time now, so I had a head start 16 years and pushed the branding of Bitcoin globally. Up to date, I have over 10 million subscribers, and I celebrated this about four months ago in May. Featured on Elle and many more magazines as well.

2:46超人類主義是什麼？全球菁英都在討論

2:46超人類主義，對你來說可能是一個新話題，但其實在全球頂尖的精英平台上，例如世界經濟論壇等，這個議題早已被廣泛討論。像是主席Klaus Schwab以及Yuval Noah Harari這些人，都在推動超人類主義。那麼，超人類主義到底是什麼？它就是透過科技與科學來超越人類本身。我在說什麼呢？我說的是讓人類可以活到兩百年、五百年。那我們要怎麼達成這個目標呢？Transhumanism, it may be a new topic for you, but it's been well discussed all over the world on the top elite platforms like World Economic Forum and more. People like Klaus Schwab, the chairman, and Yuval Noah Harari are all pushing about transhumanism. So what exactly is it? It is about transcending humanity through technology and science. What am I talking about? I'm talking about having humanity live on for 200, 500 years. And how do we achieve that?

3:21我們要來討論像是基因學、科技這些主題，例如我們用CRISPR技術來調整基因，以及像Elon Musk的Neuralink這樣的技術，透過在大腦中植入電腦晶片，你可以將你的想法傳送、投射到電腦，甚至是雲端、網路上。We're going to talk about the likes of genetics, technology, where we tweak it with CRISPR technology, and the likes of Elon Musk, the Neuralink, whereby you put the computer chip in your brain and you can send your thoughts, beam it onto the computer or even the cloud, the internet.

3:43現在加密貨幣和人類增強科技正在大融合。你可能沒在別的地方聽過這個觀點。如果你是基督徒或穆斯林，應該聽過像馬赫迪（Mahdi）、敵基督（Antichrist）這些預言，《啟示錄》裡也提到『獸的印記』，沒有這個印記就不能買賣。這些預言其實都跟現在的科技發展有關，因為相關技術都已經出現了。So right now there's a massive convergence, crypto and human enhancement. You've never heard this anywhere before. If you're Christian or if you're Muslim, you probably heard of, like for the Muslims, they talk about the Mahdi, and Christians, you talk about the Antichrist. In the book of Revelation, they talk about the mark of the beast, 666 on your forehead, and you cannot buy or sell without this mark. And this mark is like a prophecy by the two biggest religions in the world. And it's coming very, very soon. All the technologies are here today.

4:22加密 OG 投資超人類主義與腦機介面

4:22像 Vitalik Buterin（Ethereum 共同創辦人）早在 2016 年就已經投入超人類主義，特別是長壽慈善領域。最近他還和 Binance 的 CZ 合作，CZ 投資了 Vitalik 的生技新創。你也會發現 Tether、BlackRock、Neurotech 等大公司都在投入腦機介面（BCI）領域，這就是所謂的腦機介面技術，已經有 2 億美元的資金投入。要抓住趨勢就要看資金流向，通常散戶聽到消息時，機構早就佈局好了。You have the likes of even the biggest names like Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum. This is a picture from 2016 in Consensus in New York. He himself has already donated a lot of money towards transhumanism, specifically in longevity philanthropy. And most recently, he collaborated with CZ as well, where CZ of Binance invested into Vitalik's biotech startup. And you probably heard as well from Tether to BlackRock, Neurotech, they are all into neurotechnology. That is basically brain-computer interface, BCI. There's already $200 million raised. So you have to see, follow the money, where all the big money are flowing towards, and then you'll be able to catch the wave. Usually by the time retail hears of it, the institutional boys already have their positions set.

5:30接下來這個更有趣，Colossal Bioscience 這家公司真的在復活已滅絕的動物，像 Animoca Brands、Cardano 的 Charles Hoskinson、Draper Associates 的 Tim Draper、Brea Capital 等都投資了。如果你跟著加密 OG 的投資方向走，這就是下一波超級大趨勢。從長毛象、渡渡鳥到現在已經復活的恐狼（Dire Wolf），這些都是真的。This is the most interesting one because this company called Colossal Bioscience, they actually revived dinosaurs, from animals that are already extinct. The likes of Animoca Brands, Charles Hoskinson of Cardano, Draper Associates, Tim Draper, Brea Capital, all of them have all invested as well. So if you follow where the crypto OGs are investing in, that is your next big mega trend. We're talking about the likes of Woolly Mammoth to Dodo Bird, and more. And right now the most exciting one is they have already achieved reviving the dire wolves. And the dire wolves are wolves that are approximately three times bigger than the existing wolf today. If you go to their website, you'll probably see all this as well.

6:33產業大咖與資金湧入生技與腦機介面

6:33再來談談 Cardano 的 Charles Hoskinson，他們也積極投入醫療與生技產業，戰略性支持這個領域。還有 Yat Siu（Animoca Brands），他也投資了 Colossal Bioscience。現在不只是基因科技和加密分開，而是正在融合。Coinbase 的 Brian Armstrong 也是這波推手之一，他的生技公司已經完成 B 輪融資，估值超過十億美元。大家都在往超人類主義跑，如果你還沒注意到這個趨勢，真的要趕快 DYOR（自己做功課）。Next, Charles Hoskinson of Cardano, they themselves are also pushing towards healthcare, biotech, and strategically backing the industry as well. And of course, there's Yat Siu, the famous Sandbox, Axie Infinity. He himself is backing Colossal Bioscience as well. So the thing now is it's not just concentrate on genetics, it's separate from crypto. Actually, there's a convergence happening right now. And of course, there's also Brian Armstrong, one of the biggest guys pushing it as well, already raised a Series B, putting a valuation of over a billion dollars. So the thing now is everybody is running towards transhumanism, and if you haven't already catch wind of this, you need to quickly do DYOR, do your own research.

7:38當然還有 Neuralink，Elon Musk 現在是 BCI（腦機介面）領域最大的推手。你應該聽過有病患用腦波傳達『我愛你』給太太，這些都是重大突破。Elon Musk 還註冊了 telekinesis（心靈遙控）、telepathy（心靈感應）這些詞的專利，這代表很快會有大事發生。未來你只要用意念就能操作攝影機，或直接把想法傳給觀眾，這就是科技的未來。And obviously, there is Neuralink. Elon Musk is one of the biggest marketers in the world for this BCI right now. It's championing the likes of BCI, brain-computer interface, all this time. You probably heard of a patient beaming his thoughts and saying 'I love you' to his wife. He hasn't spoken a word since birth. These are huge breakthroughs happening right now. In fact, Elon Musk actually patented the word telekinesis and telepathy. Why did he do this patent? Something big is coming soon. What is telekinesis? I can reach out to the cameras right there and grab it with just my thoughts alone, or I can beam my thoughts to the audience even without opening my mouth. And this is the future of technology, not just crypto out there.

8:33腦機介面競爭與基因編輯新紀元

8:33加密已經存在 16、17 年了，接下來的下一波就是 BCI（腦機介面）。像 Synchron 這家公司，是 Neuralink 的主要競爭對手，他們用 EEG（腦電波）非侵入式頭盔，不像 Neuralink 要把晶片植入大腦，只要戴上頭盔就能連接電腦。A16Z 這種頂級創投也積極投資生技和基因領域，現在大家都在談用 CRISPR 技術編輯 DNA，讓人類變成突變體或超人類。Crypto is already here for the past 16 years now, 17 years. Now, what is next? And the next is actually BCIs. This is one of my major competitors, Synchron. Obviously, they are number two to Neuralink. They are using EEG, whereby it's non-invasive helmets. So Neuralink has to inject the chip into the human brain, while this one is simply wearing the helmet, you can connect with the computer itself. I mentioned about Neuralink. And obviously one of the biggest OGs in the world is A16Z. Their VC fund is very, very big and active in biotech as well. And this is where it's a convergence, not just BCI, but into biotech, specifically on genetics. So we are looking at people talking about using CRISPR technology to tweak you at the DNA cellular level down, to the point that you are a mutant or a superhuman.

9:45像 Tim Draper 這些 OG 也都全身比特幣裝扮，Boost VC 等創投也都在投入這個領域。Sam Altman（OpenAI）自己也有生技公司，已經募到上億美元。你想想，這些人賺到錢之後，最想投資的就是生技和長壽科技。Of course, there's Tim Draper. Also like me, all dressed up, decked out in Bitcoin as well. And Boost VC, I can go on more and more about all the VCs that are pouring money into this sector as well. And not forgetting there's Sam Altman. He himself has a retro bioscience company that also already raised a hundred million and more. This is his personal investment. Can you imagine after making all your money, where are you going to spend it on? For him, he's spending on, personal, his money is spent on this biotech.

10:29資金、技術成熟與人權思辨

10:29為什麼這麼多資金湧入？因為技術已經成熟，很快就會進入主流市場。資本已經到位，現在就是哲學理念的對齊。我這二、三十年來都在推動這個理念，當然還有臨床責任的問題。你可以看到全球各大公司都在投入，像 BlackRock、New Limit、Synchron、Neuralink 等，Neuralink 現在估值已經上億美元。What is the driver of investment interest? It's all about the technology maturity, and I foresee it already happening now. The tech is already mature for consumer mainstream use very, very soon. And the availability of capital, and like I said, capital is already flowing in. Now about the philosophy alignment, I have been at the forefront pushing this philosophy for the past almost 20, 30 years up to date, and of course, clinical accountability. The funding evidence is evident across the world, from the biggest BlackRock, New Limit, Synchron, Neuralink, and more. Neuralink is already in the billions of dollar valuation today.

11:20超人類主義包含腦機介面、長壽、基因工程，還有去中心化科學（DeSci）。這些詞未來半年到一年會越來越紅。建議大家多研究 BCI，因為只要是做這領域的公司，融資都非常快。剛剛前一位 Firefly 講者也有提到收集大腦數據。未來世界的重點就是人類本身，AI 與人類的連結就是從大腦開始。Talking about transhumanism again, there's this brain-computer interface, longevity, genetics engineering, and obviously decentralized science. These are terms that will come up more and more. It will become a mega trend in the next six months to a year. So now, if you look it up more, I encourage you to talk about BCI. Research and look up more because any company that is dabbling on this will raise millions very quickly. In fact, the earlier speaker from Firefly as well talked about collecting brain data. So the entire world is all about the human body itself, and the way we connect AI to the human body is through the brain.

12:14人類主權、數據隱私與未來風險

12:14我也是 transhumanism.com 的幕後推手。我的理念是『人類主權』，也就是要捍衛大家的人權。舉例來說，假設 Elon Musk 的 Neuralink 擁有你的所有數據，他知道你太太的喜好、你的私生活、密碼、銀行帳戶等一切。這樣合理嗎？這些數據到底屬於誰？因為硬體就在你腦裡，這些數據最後是為了誰？真的能保障你的權益嗎？I am the guy that is behind transhumanism.com. My theology behind it is about human sovereignty, which means I am championing for your human rights. For example, today, Elon Musk Neuralink has all your data. He knows your wife's likes and dislikes, your secret private life. He knows it all. He knows your password, your bank accounts, everything that you know, he knows. Now, is that right? Is that ethical? And who owns that data? Because his computer hardware is in your brain. He's collecting all that data for whom? To help you for your convenience, but at the end of the day, who truly owns that data, and can he use that data?

13:07現在 AI 軟體在背後運作，全球數十億人的數據都被收集。那未來會怎樣？我們還有基本人權嗎？我現在是全球最積極倡議這件事的人之一。如果我們不先處理好人權問題，未來就會像社群媒體一樣失控。Facebook、Twitter、Instagram 等大平台都掌握你的數據，政府最後才來補救，但已經太晚。我現在要搶先一步，為腦機介面的人權發聲，歡迎大家追蹤我的社群，一起對抗大科技公司。Now the thing is, AI is the one that's running in the background, the software, and now it's collecting all this data from billions of people across the world. What is going to happen then? Do we still have our human right? And that is, I'm among the loudest champions in the world for this right now. Because if we do not manage to get this human rights settled, the dangers of it would be like social media. It accelerated too fast: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more. The big tech, the big social media platforms, they own your data. So now, what happens then? Governments came in too late to regulate the sector. But now, I am ahead of the game now, championing for human rights in this specific BCI. And I encourage you to interact with my social media as well to come fight for your right in this world, against the big tech.

14:09從人類主權到賽博龐克主義與未來思辨

14:09我有很多框架，和全球學者、教授交流，也歡迎大家上網查詢。主題從人類主權、超人類主義到『神經賽博龐克主義』（neuro-cyberpunkism），我也是 cyberpunkism 的推手。甚至還談到『惡魔智能』（demonic intelligence）、『撒旦智能』（satanic intelligence），這些你可能從沒聽過。現在大家都在談 AI，川普最近還說要改名叫 super intelligence，但如果 SI 其實是 satanic intelligence 呢？這個詞是我自己創的。I have a lot of frameworks. I'm speaking to academics, professors across the world, but I encourage you to look it up online. It's about human sovereignty, transhumanism, to neuro-cyberpunkism. I'm the guy behind cyberpunkism. You can look it up as well. And I even talk about the likes of what is demonic intelligence, satanic intelligence, something you never heard before probably. What exactly is it? Like today we're talking about AI, and Trump just announced a change the name to super intelligence. What if the SI actually means satanic intelligence? Which is actually coined by myself.

14:55理論可以講很多，但簡單分享一下，今天現場其實有 NeuroSense 這家公司，他們在腦機介面領域已經領先 Neuralink。Neuralink 目前只有 11 位病患，但中國已經有上百位。誰才是真正領先？就像中國突然超車美國，DeepSeek 也突然領先。這就是我要說的。我的演講到這邊，歡迎大家會後交流、合照，謝謝大家！There's a lot of theories to go through, but just to quickly share, actually in the audience here today, there's a NeuroSense company. I'm doing a shout out for them. They are ahead of Neuralink. Neuralink has about 11 patients, but in China they have hundreds of them already. So who is truly ahead of the game? It's like China suddenly sucker punch USA, DeepSeek suddenly now ahead of the game. And that's what I'm talking about. So anyway, I've come to the end of my speech. I'd love to chat more with you offstage and take a photo. Thank you everyone.
