I have some knowledge about structures in Russia and ex-Soviet republics, my wife is Ukrainian and I lived several years in Ukraine and Russia. From my personal view this looks a bit like investing oligarch money. It doesn't has to be that way, but at least it smells a bit.
With a low SP in mind the next investor might have a big foot in the door of Brainchip, so I do care about it.
With the running NASA and DARPA projects, the partnerships with ISL and Intellisense in safety relevant industries, I would just prefer an US investor, that's all.
Of course this is pure speculation, but hey, the forum is full of it.

No more than 1 hour after posting this, my wife had a bit of a breakdown. She has been doing really well, but today got to her. Can someone give me a pep talk now?
She just feels as though we must have missed something to cause it going from $2 - 18c
I tried the best I could to reassure her, but it is friggin hard to see you life savings under attack including 70% of life’s super.
What are people actual thoughts on why we are free falling? Let’s have a moment of real talk. I can’t think of one logical reason other than manipulation and uneducated retail freaking out.. in fact I only see positive after positive, but if anyone can think of 1 good reason to why we are free falling let me know. I need to know
IMO it is a really simple answer. But maybe just because I've convinced myself of it.
1. Not many understood BRN, early days remember "What is a neuromorphic chip anyway?" Therefore it became a bit of a meme stock
2. It gained a bit of interest but still early days and ...."What is a neuromorphic chip anyway?". Then we sold a few licences
3. The Mercedes EQXX got a few excited, maybe even a few shorters got anxious and bought back, but overall momentum went crazy
4. We entered the asx 200 and suddenly a mountain of shares became available to be shorted. and so....they did.
5. 4c after 4c came and no revenue the shorts just had too many shares and the sell pressure became way too much.
6. What I think is happening now is the sorting through of all the shorted shares, we are seeing large volume but no big drop, shorters selling and buying into each other. The sellers that have sold are now buying more shorts sells. A team effort churning and soon the buying pressure will finally overtake the selling and we will see a rise as the shorts need to cover.
7. The only chance of the short squeeze is if we get Mercedes to buy a licence or someone as big. A well known household name, other than that, the shorts will have made a squillion.
That's what I believe, but I'm just a mug. But I do believe that BRN will get there, that is why I've still got my super shares. It was a 5 year hold, it's now a 4 year hold. they need to hurry up

Hi @TheFunkMachine
Mercedes are still making cars.
Renesas is still releasing some tech with us (soon?)
Great chance we’re in Valeo with $25B of pre-orders.
40+ known EAPS or Uni’s working with us who have been listed numerous times. They wouldn’t all be with us if we weren’t special.
Intel for example would have hated taking us onboard as we are direct competition for their Loihi and yet they have because we can offer what they can’t.
We are in MB future EV’s where both Nvidia and Qualcomm are also involved: what does that say? Again we are offering what they can’t.
Have another look at the Gen2 Pre-Release promotion and what SI-Five, Renesas have said!
Defence are all over us: they have deep pockets.
In the end if you have done your research back your judgement in and own your decision. I have and despite being deep in the red am very confident in the long term future because the potential is massive and we only need a small percent of the large market to be successful.
That’s my opinion but I’d better end with the disclaimer: I am not a financial adviser so do your own research.
All the best to the everyone, please be kind, have empathy and support each other.
I am hopeful the Gen 2 release will start the SP back in the right direction and we can celebrate the company‘s achievements and success.
One certainty is that the cloud will not cope with the expected exponential growth in AI at the Edge.
Another certainty is that AI at the Edge is via Neuromorphic - AKIDA on chip is far superior to AI at the Edge via the cloud eg NVIDIA.
Think Latency, cost, power and security.
Exponential growth in At the Edge will weigh heavily in favour of the Neuromorphic approach. eg EV's, or in future AKA chips on wheels, precision machinery, etc.
Our only risk is that we will be leap frogged. However it appears we still hold a first mover advantage.
The way i see it is if, say, NVIDIA came up with their own method of by passing the cloud one of the other big players would be forced to swoop on us for our patents to offer viable competition or even stay in business. It would be 'BRN name your price'.
I am in for the patents that allow us to avoid the costly journey to the cloud. Anything more will just be a bonus.
TBH i am not concerned at all about the SP as they (for any company) go up and down all the time.
Its just about waiting for demand to meet the product offering which BRN management have no control over. They can only control their readiness to meet the demand when it arrives. They are doing this with ecosystems, marketing and product development, EG Gen 2 with plans for gen 3 later this year.

Hi Funkmachine, I really feel for you. I don’t believe the free fall in our share price has anything to do with our fundamentals. I firmly believe we are better placed than ever. I do, however, think that the combination of being a pre-revenue tech startup, broader macroeconomic factors like interest rates in the US (stocks have been in free fall everywhere), plus a bit of opportunistic mischief-making by shorters/instos because we are pre-revenue, has resulted in our current share price. I simply do not believe that all of the announced partnerships (plus more than a few hidden relationships surmised here) will come to nothing. It is happening - we just have to be patient (and have nerves of steel!!)No more than 1 hour after posting this, my wife had a bit of a breakdown.

I don't know how many short shares are outstanding, or how much ammunition the shorters have, but I guess the shorters are a lot more savvy than we are. They would have known BRN was to be dropped from ASX 200 and loaded up. I don't think I'm saying anything that we all didn't know, but the sell off by the instos with ASX 200 obligations compounded by downward pressure from the shorters/manipulators, has driven us well into the oversold region. I certainly never thought we could drop below $1.
But none of this has anything to do with the technical capabilities or market potential of Akida which, with Akida 2, has given us half a decade's lead on any competition. In particular TeNNs has really excited the NDAs/EAPs. Everyone (well the few who are capable) is(are) doing ViT, but no one is doing TeNNs, except BRN.
As we've just seem Qualcomm is trumpeting its Hexagon software driven AI quasi-edge GPT. Basically Qualcomm think NNs are software to run on CPUs /GPUs.
Recall the EAP comments on Akida 2 (I can't bloody find it now! Maybe it's been hidden so as not to distract from the launch).
https://brainchip.com/akida-generations/ - general availability Q3 2023, so, if it's not this week, the announcement is imminent.
Akida 1 was miles ahead of the competition. Akida 2 doubles the lead. A lot of EAPs had Akida 1 at various stages of testing. They wouldn't have continued testing if it was a dud. But then they put Akida 1 on the back burner when they heard about (or tested the software simulation of) Akida 2.
The rapidly evolving technology, and the consequent changes necessitated thereby has delayed BRN's success, as did the change to IP only. VVDN will belatedly partially rectify the IP delay. The bypassing of LSTM and the surpassing of transformers by TeNNs (patent pending) has assured Akida's technological leadership. BRN's leading edge technology and its agility in adapting to massive change in the last 5 years, as well as peer recognition will go a long way to assuring success.
Of course there are no certainties, but we are in prime position to ride the wave(s) of the coincidence of ADAS, lidar, event cameras, medical applications, AI generally, ... the list is endless.

Maybe you worry too much, I don't know. I assume anyway that large parts of the company are already in hands where we don't want to see them, hidden behind nominees or such shit.Freedom Holding Corp. is headquartered in Kazakhstan. Management looks like that:
Management Team
The management team at Freedom Holding Corp. includes several noteworthy individuals with experience in business, economics, and finance.
I have some knowledge about structures in Russia and ex-Soviet republics, my wife is Ukrainian and I lived several years in Ukraine and Russia. From my personal view this looks a bit like investing oligarch money. It doesn't has to be that way, but at least it smells a bit.

Of course this is pure speculation, but hey, the forum is full of it.
So whether it's oligarch money or Chinese money doesn't make much difference to me.
There is a reason why Brainchip is valued so cheaply. I mean the anode maker Talga with pending validity of the major approval and then endless battles ahead is worth a full 26% more than Brainchip with 42 partnerships and all the patents in a now starting world market. I assume something hostile is going on here anyway. Maybe you have the right nose and it is not Nvidia or the Chinese but the oligarchs who want to buy in cheaply.
Moreover, Maxim Group is here only interested in companies listed in the USA (NYSE, NASDAQ). The exception is us as an OTC (https://b2idigital.com/maxim-virtual-conference-emerging-ai).
So first the acquisition has to be completed, then Freedom Holding would have to buy properly, then your fear that it is oligarch money would have to be true, then the market regulator would have to be called in, who has already checked the deal with Freedom Holding and Maxim Group (Russian money is ringing red with warning bells right now).
But all speculation is there for speculation. But that's probably a topic better for the bar counter.

That reads much more sensible than what I wrote!
If all of this is true as you plausibly explained, I still simply cannot understand how a company in this position you describe is not even worth €195m. That's why I suspect that someone is attacking us hostilely for whatever reason.
I would be happy if Akida doesn't end up in Nvidias drawer or somewhere in China (or Russia.), even if that means it will be a very long climb back to a reasonable level. Down 37% in a week means we have to go up 58% just to get back to the same level.
I think a hostile process could also be a reason for the board's reserved behavior. I also think that no one manipulates to this extent without having a serious reason other than just to make some money. To me it seems more like hurting an animal and then throwing it strickend to the piranhas/shorters to let them do the work and occasionally prick to keep interest in shorting high and best when there are some good news. It was with Brainchip that I first got to know that good news is tied to a falling SP, which of course is not the company's fault but the aggressor's, from my point of view.
After all that would be expensive and someone with interest and interesting pockets would have to pay that bill.
The sales team can't speed up the development process of possible customers. That's why I think it's unfair when people here complain endlessly that the sales team should simply work better. In my opinion this would be only the smaller part of the reason for the low SP. How much sales is enough to chase away the shorters? I find it hard to believe that all we have to do is to make some millions and the beating will end.
You all remember the first attack. Here, after currency conversion, the shares were extremely cheap compared to you, basically on offer. The reason why I remember that evening so well, even though the two events are probably unrelated. Then tens of millions of shares changed to the ASX and were dumped into your market the next day. The first attack I remember. And the attack came out of nowhere for me and it hasn't ended to this day.
There are very experienced investors among us here. Am I assuming absolute nonsense and the market capitalization is just so abysmal because of general circumstances?
I think I'd better retreat now before I infect anyone else with my thoughts.

Do not know what the exact rules are on the ASX but there is sure to be a period of time (quiet period or restricted period) where insiders cannot buy or sell before and after the AKIDA 2.0 and 4C announcements.
To reverse this Titanic, insiders buying in significant quantity should do the trick.... say $50k (or more) for top tier types and lesser amounts for some engineers and the like.
THIS IS THE SURE FIRE WAY TO SEND THE MESSAGE TO THE MARKETS....putting your money where your mouth is...walk the walk.
Come on guys and gals...we have something special here.....RIGHT?
SO PILE ON WITH IMPUNITY.

My Monday musings (feel free to skip if you are not into speculative dot joining):
Dr. Gregor Lenz (https://lenzgregor.com/) recently left SynSense (on good terms AFAICT from his below LinkedIn post) and co-founded a Toulouse-based start-up called Neurobus (https://neurobus.space, registered in mid-April 2023) together with serial entrepreneur Florian Corgnou, who is the new company’s CEO. Lenz is its CTO, and this is what he said about Neurobus in a LinkedIn post (see below) two weeks ago: “We’re going to build a strong European company that brings neuromorphic solutions to satellites and space!”
Dr. Simeon Bamford (https://sim.me.uk/#contact) is the start-up’s Director of Engineering & Board Member. Incidentally he was CTO of iniLabs, when Brainchip signed a joint development and marketing agreement with them way back in 2016. (On January 1, 2018, iniVation AG formally incorporated the Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) business and engineering teams of iniLabs GmbH.) He is currently a researcher in event-based perception for robotics at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa as well as a consultant for neuromorphic engineering start-ups.
Blast from the past:
BrainChip Signs Joint Development and Marketing Agreement With Inilabs GmbH, Developer of the Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS)
BrainChip Signs Joint Development and Marketing Agreement With Inilabs GmbH, Developer of the Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) April 15, 2016
brainchip.com
Now, the question regarding Neurobus is of course: Friend or foe?
Obviously, with Gregor Lenz coming from SynSense (the other commercial application-focused iniLabs spin-off company, besides iniVation), one could readily assume that integrating some of SynSense’s neuromorphic tech (most likely Speck, the event-driven neuromorphic vision SoC) would be his first choice in developing neuromorphic solutions for space, but the fact that SynSense effectively became a Chinese company three years ago IMO would at present prove to be a rather unsurmountable obstacle to what Neurobus is aiming to achieve and to stay true to their self-proclaimed values: “Sustainable development, exchange between European countries, security for our citizens and democratic rights”. Especially in the sensitive field of defense, which is one of the application domains Neurobus lists alongside satellite communications and earth observation.
Also, how are they going to offer neuromorphic solutions for space without a commercially available neuromorphic chip/IP?
Will they just experiment with dev kits or research chips for the time being? The likes of NASA, ESA, AFRL or RAAF have been dealing directly with the relevant companies and academic institutions for their neuromorphic space experiments, so I’d suspect Neurobus is going to offer added value, a package solution so to say, which will save those customers, who do not have in-house development capabilities, time and money.On the other hand: Does Neurobus’s value of being “European at heart” possibly signify that their neuromorphic tech is being entirely developed within Europe? Which would effectively rule out Akida? As well as Loihi? But even a potential future competitor of Brainchip such as GrAI Matter Labs, while headquartered in Europe, has an office in Silicon Valley, so would they qualify?
As for the types of event cameras that are going to be used in space, those by iniVation or by Prophesee come to mind. A European academic research group that recently modified one by iniVation for use in space is the team from DTU Space (Technical University of Denmark), whose THOR-DAVIS neuromorphic camera is currently being experimented with onboard the ISS. But wouldn’t they in turn found their own spin-off to commercialise their tech rather than licence it to a third party?
Another caveat: Gregor Lenz is also one of the co-founders of the Open Neuromorphic platform. I recall reading somewhere a while ago that some of the other members around Jason Eshraghian from UC Santa Cruz (also an Open Neuromorphic co-founder, who recently showed up in a post by @Fullmoonfever as one of the authors of a paper mistakenly listing Akida as being analog in a table surtitled “A benchmark of neuromorphic chips” - https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-338409) were dismissing Akida in their Discord chat - does anyone here happen to follow their discussions and could give us an update on whether their judgement on Akida has since changed? Or was it possibly just a case of sour grapes?
Also, could somebody with a LinkedIn account please do me a favour and scan the comments under Gregor Lenz’s and Florian Corgnou’s respective Neurobus birth announcements and check out whether or not any familiar names come up congratulating them on their baby? I am merely able to read the first couple of comments on GL’s LinkedIn page, but can neither access his co-founder’s LinkedIn page nor that of Simeon Bamford at all. Neither do I have a Twitter, pardon X account, so I can sadly no longer read any of those posts either, which could give some further hints of whether or not we could possibly be involved.
Any thoughts on Neurobus, especially from those of you tech-savvier than me, are of course very welcome…

Morning Chippers,
Personaly I think ONE thing Management could do this morning , BEFORE the ASX opens is temporarily suspend all trading in our stock until such time as thay OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE AKIDA 2 .
Although Management don't follow the share price , strange , this should have been Innitiated last week.
Lock up the share price & this manipulation will cease.
Atleast in the short term.
Appreciate such an event would not be welcome for those that require access to their funds , but for long term holders it would deffinately stop the blood letting ..... until such time as a decent announcement can be officially released to the ASX.
* Another thing which I find unusual......
None of the entitys in the top 20 holders list have disclosed any movement in their holdings.
Possibly thay have not changed ( bought / sold ) but one thing is certain , relatively large numbers of our stock are being absorbed , over 200,000,000 shares in the last six business days.
Regards,
Esq.

At least they have already achieved that even if the ann hits like a rocket and it goes up 58% we end up at the level of last week, so they would have priced it in in their way.

Hi Fastback6666,
That's something we holders have seen beyond our wildest thoughts share price movement has certainly caught a lot of us by surprise not a quick surprise as in quick sudden drop but a slow stealth sort of drop filled with she'll be right it'll bump up again
yes a lot traded yesterday and the drop was a drip but still painful for some I honestly wish I didn't get my order hit, but if life throws some lemons your way why not not make some lemonade. Beats orange juice that's for sure.Hopefully share price can move Fastback to higher prices shortly.
Perhaps
Regular
Just some additional information, maybe helpful.My Monday musings (feel free to skip if you are not into speculative dot joining):
Dr. Gregor Lenz (https://lenzgregor.com/) recently left SynSense (on good terms AFAICT from his below LinkedIn post) and co-founded a Toulouse-based start-up called Neurobus (https://neurobus.space, registered in mid-April 2023) together with serial entrepreneur Florian Corgnou, who is the new company’s CEO. Lenz is its CTO, and this is what he said about Neurobus in a LinkedIn post (see below) two weeks ago: “We’re going to build a strong European company that brings neuromorphic solutions to satellites and space!”
Dr. Simeon Bamford (https://sim.me.uk/#contact) is the start-up’s Director of Engineering & Board Member. Incidentally he was CTO of iniLabs, when Brainchip signed a joint development and marketing agreement with them way back in 2016. (On January 1, 2018, iniVation AG formally incorporated the Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) business and engineering teams of iniLabs GmbH.) He is currently a researcher in event-based perception for robotics at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa as well as a consultant for neuromorphic engineering start-ups.
Blast from the past:

Now, the question regarding Neurobus is of course: Friend or foe?
Obviously, with Gregor Lenz coming from SynSense (the other commercial application-focused iniLabs spin-off company, besides iniVation), one could readily assume that integrating some of SynSense’s neuromorphic tech (most likely Speck, the event-driven neuromorphic vision SoC) would be his first choice in developing neuromorphic solutions for space, but the fact that SynSense effectively became a Chinese company three years ago IMO would at present prove to be a rather unsurmountable obstacle to what Neurobus is aiming to achieve and to stay true to their self-proclaimed values: “Sustainable development, exchange between European countries, security for our citizens and democratic rights”. Especially in the sensitive field of defense, which is one of the application domains Neurobus lists alongside satellite communications and earth observation.
Also, how are they going to offer neuromorphic solutions for space without a commercially available neuromorphic chip/IP?
On the other hand: Does Neurobus’s value of being “European at heart” possibly signify that their neuromorphic tech is being entirely developed within Europe? Which would effectively rule out Akida? As well as Loihi? But even a potential future competitor of Brainchip such as GrAI Matter Labs, while headquartered in Europe, has an office in Silicon Valley, so would they qualify?
As for the types of event cameras that are going to be used in space, those by iniVation or by Prophesee come to mind. A European academic research group that recently modified one by iniVation for use in space is the team from DTU Space (Technical University of Denmark), whose THOR-DAVIS neuromorphic camera is currently being experimented with onboard the ISS. But wouldn’t they in turn found their own spin-off to commercialise their tech rather than licence it to a third party?
Another caveat: Gregor Lenz is also one of the co-founders of the Open Neuromorphic platform. I recall reading somewhere a while ago that some of the other members around Jason Eshraghian from UC Santa Cruz (also an Open Neuromorphic co-founder, who recently showed up in a post by @Fullmoonfever as one of the authors of a paper mistakenly listing Akida as being analog in a table surtitled “A benchmark of neuromorphic chips” - https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-338409) were dismissing Akida in their Discord chat - does anyone here happen to follow their discussions and could give us an update on whether their judgement on Akida has since changed? Or was it possibly just a case of sour grapes?
Also, could somebody with a LinkedIn account please do me a favour and scan the comments under Gregor Lenz’s and Florian Corgnou’s respective Neurobus birth announcements and check out whether or not any familiar names come up congratulating them on their baby? I am merely able to read the first couple of comments on GL’s LinkedIn page, but can neither access his co-founder’s LinkedIn page nor that of Simeon Bamford at all. Neither do I have a Twitter, pardon X account, so I can sadly no longer read any of those posts either, which could give some further hints of whether or not we could possibly be involved.
Any thoughts on Neurobus, especially from those of you tech-savvier than me, are of course very welcome…

Maybe this all leads to European solutions. In Europe it seems nobody noticed SynSense became Chinese, but that's typical old world.
By the way, Valeo is deeply involved here, so I don't belong to the believers of Akida IP in Scala 3 lidar.
