Meta recently announced the acquisition of AI star company Manus and appointed founder Xiao Hong as Vice President of the group. This news has sparked quite a bit of discussion in the industry. However, few people know Xiao Hong's true background.
Cobo founder Shen Yu previously shared an interesting detail: when Xiao Hong was studying at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, he interned at the "Yibit" team founded by Shen Yu. Speaking of Yibit, it was indeed a prominent name in that era—alongside Barbit and Bitcoin Home, it was one of the three major portals in China's Bitcoin industry and one of the most important cryptocurrency information channels in the Chinese-speaking world.
What's even more interesting is that Xiao Hong himself is a BTC Hodler and has always held his coins. From a young practitioner in the Bitcoin field to now successfully starting a business in AI and becoming an executive at Meta, this ten-year leap is truly impressive.
This also reflects an interesting phenomenon: as times change, the boundaries of enterprises are also blurring. From Bitcoin to AI Agents, from crypto assets to generative AI, some people are able to succeed across different tracks. The key lies in a keen grasp of technological trends and continuous learning ability.

Oh wow, is it YiBit? This is truly a "once in a lifetime" moment. From a veteran in the crypto circle to a vice president at a major AI company, they've really got something.

I was already in Bitcoin back then, and I still hold Bitcoin now. This guy really understands what long-termism means.

Back in the era of OneBit, I was still mining haha. I didn't expect Xiao Hong to come from there. His background is indeed solid.

That story of OneBit was truly amazing. Those who sensed the tech trend early on are truly different.
