inspria just called me abt the fundrise innovation fund VCX roth ira transfer i submitted 13 aug. i requested for ½ my 4k+ shares to be transferred so i could sell ½ in the unlikely event of a price spike. the rep told me it's $150/transfer ($300 for 2) & another ~$130 (don't quote me) to close...

the accnt

i told her that i want to minimize fees, so i would change plans to transfer all but 1 share to schwab & leave 1 share on inspira bc i am going to make more fundrise roth ira investments in the future. it would be silly to close my inspira accnt & need to open a new one in the future

i asked her if this made sense & she said "no bc you don't feel like i should get paid for my job" {bc minimizing fees is less revenue for inspira}

i shit you not

i asked her if she was the customer would she want to pay over $400 in fees that she could avoid a majority of?

she asked me why i didn't just liquidate all my VCX shares, transfer the cash, & put more money into my existing fundrise roth ira

i told her to cancel my transfer request & then quickly ended the call

i didn't know there are inspira transfer fees. there aren't with computershare

i wish we didn't need to deal with either inspira or CS

i'll quietly celebrate when all my shares are off CS. i'm stuck with inspira for the duration of my fundrise investing

that is all. carry on

to all my VCX bear & put buyer homies: don't worry, even though anthropic is the largest asset in fundrise innovation fund i'm sure you don't have anything to worry about. according to the bloomberg article linked below, anthropic is on a $65b arr, up more than 7X from 8mths ago

surely fundrise management doesn't deserve any credit or congratulations for making this fucking amazing investment. can we think of any good criticisms for management? can't we get together & start a class action lawsuit bc we're mad & stuff?

maybe we should just focus on theories about the flagship fund's buying & selling of VCX instead of the fact that fundrise provided this generational opportunity to retail investors at the expense of institutional investors who love to exploit retail

where my cynical haters & ain'ters at? i'm too jacked & tan to pat myself on the back. ya'll low T brothers shouldn't have any problems

Anthropic looking at 2T IPO!

If this is true then it caps the projected VCX NAV at about $30-32. I think there is enough information now to make a sensible decision. Consider everything and do what makes sense to you. There are people who are long here and there are people who are short here and there will be a lot of posts in the coming days. The pump and dumpers will be back too. To each their own, read up on stuff. The puts are still available if that suits your style.

random thought abt fundrise innovation fund - VCX. lots of ink was spilt by critics abt flagship fund's VCX trading. SPCX buyer(s) stepped in to buoy share price at the 1st restricted share unlock. what if flagship / another fund does this fri / next week? that would certainly be "all in". 4pics

u/jeduvall is a real fundrise fan, fam. a big reason for my online presence supporting fundrise across 4 social media platforms is bc i've introduced ppl to fundrise in person, they do a quick google search &amp; see the unsophisticated person complaining about fundrise "stealing" their money bc they...

don't understand qtrly liquidity, capping fund withdrawals periodically, a small fee for early withdrawal, that buying low & selling high means that they need to be highly skeptical of their own intuitions, etc.

i wish more reviews like the one crossposted above were readily available for potentially new fundrise investors to read

if i had seen more of this kind of posting in the largest & worst fundrise sub, then i wouldn't have created my own

but here we are, r/Fundriselnvestors. 1.5k fundrise fans strong & currently growing at 5 ppl per day

new episode of onward, the fundrise podcast. "Life after Al, with Kanika Bahl former board member of Anthropic's benefit corporation. What happens if artificial intelligence becomes as capable as-or more capable than-human beings? Most conversations about Al stop at..."

spotify link to episode: spotify.com/episode/1Z6w2zji

youtube link to episode: youtu.be/IxRYjql

whether artificial general intelligence will arrive. In this episode of Onward, Ben Miller and Kanika Bahl accept that premise and ask the more difficult question: What happens after?

Kanika is the founder and CEO of the Al Access Initiative and a former founding member of Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust, an independent governance body created to help ensure that Anthropic develops Al for the long-term benefit of humanity. She previously led Evidence Action, where her work helped deliver health and economic interventions to hundreds of millions of people living in poverty.

Drawing on her experience at the intersection of Al, global development, and large-scale systems change, Kanika explains why transformative Al may arrive sooner than many people expect-and why creating powerful technology is only the beginning. The more difficult challenge will be ensuring that its benefits actually reach people.

Ben and Kanika explore how Al could improve healthcare, education, agriculture, and economic opportunity around the world. They also confront the deeper fears underneath the Al debate: What happens when machines can perform much of today's work? How will people find purpose, status, and identity? Who will own the wealth Al creates? And how can society distribute its gains without relying solely on universal basic income?

The conversation ultimately offers a cautiously optimistic vision. Al could create extraordinary abundance, but only if governments, companies, nonprofits, philanthropists, and individuals begin preparing now for the social changes it may bring.

In this episode

• Why Al's rapid progress is grounded in scaling laws, investment, and measurable capability gains

• Why Kanika believes transformative Al within the next five to fifteen years is a reasonable possibility

• The risk that billions of people in lower-income countries could be left behind

• How Al could deliver localized weather forecasts to hundreds of millions of smallholder farmers

• The potential for Al-supported diagnosis to address doctor shortages and high misdiagnosis rates

• Evidence that Al tutoring could produce significant learning gains in lower-income countries

• Why technological breakthroughs do not create impact unless effective distribution systems exist

• How society might find purpose and identity in a world with less paid work

• Why caring, service, exploration, building, and learning could become more central to human life

• The limitations of universal basic income as the default response to job

displacement

• Ben's case for "universal basic ownership" and giving people a stake in the wealth Al creates

• Why better labor-market data and iterative policymaking will be essential

• How organizations can prepare for both short and long Al timelines

• Why accepting change-and learning through experimentation-may produce better outcomes than resisting it
