Exactly 😂
Tesla has no government contracts and President Trump ended federal incentives for electric vehicles.
SpaceX contracts with the government are BOTH the best product AND the lowest price! Moreover government revenue will be less than 10% of SpaceX revenue this quarter and less then 5% a year from now.
Happy to cancel any that the government doesn’t want. Just say the word!

Crowdfunding is growing in more places at once.
New rules in the US and Australia, public funding in Malaysia, wider investor access and tech pilots in Brazil and South Korea.
5 signs the industry is going global, and what’s still missing 👇

Can a platform prove how a deal was checked?
Neera Patel showed how Ironstone does it at the CfPA Summit: AI reviews, a named person signs off, and the record is sealed on a blockchain.
Trusted data is where Dacxi Chain starts.

Did Wong do all this for a political photo op?
And is she willing to lie on this to the public?
If she is, then about what else will she be willing to lie, should she claw her way into power through the endless promotion of her on legacy media channels like the execrable RNZ?
"Opportunity’s core values are "truthfulness" and "integrity".
Qiulae Wong and Opportunity will need to explain this.
The Marathon rules are explicit:
unofficial bib swaps are banned for safety reasons, including correct identification, emergency contacts, and timing.
Only a formal system transfer is allowed,
...and that process closes the day before the race"
...so the bib she is wearing carries the actual details as they should be - but they show the bib belongs to someone else entirely.

🔎 181 platforms raised over €4B in 2024, yet fewer than 30% operate across borders. Most investors still only see deals from their own country.
Why connecting platforms is the industry’s next challenge 👇

Investing in private businesses used to be mostly for venture funds and wealthy investors.
Crowdfunding changed that. Today, ordinary investors can back companies and projects they believe in, often with small amounts.
The next step is giving them access beyond their own country.

Trust in #crowdfunding isn’t built on claims. It’s built on evidence.
Clear information, verifiable checks and accountable decisions are essential when capital is at stake.
The challenge is making that trust scalable.

Today at 4:20 pm ET, Neera Patel, CPO of Ironstone, takes the stage at the CfPA Summit in Washington, DC to debate whether AI will strengthen or undermine crowdfunding.
The real difference is accountability: what was checked, against which rule, and who approved it. 🎤
Ed Ludbrook retweeted
AI can help crowdfunding teams review documents, compare information and spot gaps faster. But it should not make the final decision.
The people responsible for the deal must review the findings, understand the evidence and approve the outcome.
AI assists. People decide. 🤖

How can platforms work together? What does responsible AI look like? How do deals cross borders while information stays trusted?
Our latest article looks at five questions that need practical answers. 🔗

Ironstone, from Dacxi Chain, is in Washington, DC for the CfPA Regulated Investment Crowdfunding Summit.
If you’re attending, meet Neera Patel and Andy Field, and catch Neera’s Wednesday debate: “Will AI Strengthen or Undermine Crowdfunding?” 🎤

Worth a watch
I wrote this description/warning of what is happening in the West. Please watch it and share it with others. @idicenter

🌍 Cross-border crowdfunding is not as simple as translating a campaign.
Different markets have different rules, disclosures, investor checks and processes.
The infrastructure has to help platforms coordinate all of that. This is one of the problems Dacxi Chain is working on.
