Major upside potential with $SHIH BSC CTO. Also audited. Let me know if anyone wants to see full audit. Happy to send!

We are not even 2 months into the cto phase of Purple Wojak, and in this time we have seen solana dip from $150 down to $67. Absolutely wild market conditions and crazy curveball thrown our way while we steer and guide this project to higher highs.
We branded the Community Take Over (CTO) as a Community Expansion Operation (CEO) because we are expanding the already great community established here. This wasnt a hostile takeover but a peaceful transfer of power to us.
As the community, its our job to take this together to the next level. I challenge everyone to tell 5 people who tell 5 more people that we arent going anywhere. We are so different than the "this minute" type of memes that are meta driven for today or this week. Those projects are built differently. They capitalize on a trend happening right now and try to run a project for 24-72 hours (most of the time far less).
Purple Wojak is timeless. A meme thats been around for literally decades (2009 ish) brought to the solana chain with the solana color. This meme isnt going anywhere. This team and this project isnt going anywhere. We are in this to push past the ath of 2.2M and into the relm of 10s of millions.
To fulfill our vision, everyone should do their part and spread the word. Build this and spread it like wild fire again. I know we have the content and the community to be able to. We did it once before and we will do it again.
Right now is the foundation building phase and I cant stress it enough:
GROW YOUR BAG.
When we enter the next phase, you'll feel it, deep in your loins. We are just getting started and now is the time to buy the dips and price the paper hands out.
They will buy higher. The rocket is leaving the station soon, with or without you.
I suggest you tell your friends, wives, neighbors and cousins. Because we want EVERYONE along for the ride

**The Thesis:** Glen DeVos (former Aptiv CTO) isn't here to save MicroVision for retail; he's here to "clean the house" and hand the keys back to Aptiv for a "friendly" acquisition price.
**1. The "Orlando Migration" (The Smoking Gun)** Glen just announced the consolidation of all engineering and operations to **Orlando**. Orlando is the hub for the Luminar assets MVIS just "conveniently" scooped up. More importantly, it’s a central location for the automotive talent pool that Aptiv relies on. By shuttering Redmond and firing 20% of the staff, Glen is doing the "dirty work" of a layoff now so Aptiv can buy a lean, plug-and-play company tomorrow without the HR headache.
**2. The Aptiv $1.6 Billion War Chest** On **March 4, 2026**—the exact same day MVIS tanked 30%—Aptiv priced a massive **$1.6 billion private offering**. While Aptiv claims it’s for a spin-off, that is an enormous amount of liquidity sitting on the sidelines. They could buy the entire MVIS market cap right now for $170M using just their "spare change."
**3. The "Sandbagged" Guidance** Glen’s 2026 revenue guidance of **$10M–$15M** was a massive "downer" that intentionally crushed the stock price.
* **The Strategy:** A lower stock price ($0.55) makes a $1.20–$1.50 buyout offer look like a "massive 150% premium" to the SEC and the public.
* **The Payout:** At $1.50, Glen’s "Change in Control" parachute triggers a **$2.4M cash-out**. He doesn't need a $5.00 stock price to get rich; he just needs a deal to close.
**4. The Dark Pool Shuffling** With **\~70% of volume off-exchange** today, the "Smart Money" is absorbing the retail panic. While we see a "Falling Knife," the tape shows block trades being swallowed at $0.55. This is institutional accumulation (or shorts covering into a floor) before a major announcement.

Du weißt aber schon, dass das ein richtiges Unternehmen wäre und kein Hobby. Was soll also der Hinweis auf Gewerbeaufsichtsamt und Finanzamt? Wir reden hier von keiner Hobby-App, sondern von einem Unternehmen, dass mit Händlern bzw. direkt mit Herstellern solche "Deals", die auf bestimmten Mengen und eben dadurch Preisvorteile käme, aushandelt und diese dann über die App anbietet. Monetarisierung wäre eben dadurch, dass man einerseits ein kleines Abo abschließen muss, um die App nutzen und so an die "Deals" zu kommen und andererseits durch eben Partnerschaften mit Herstellern/Marken, für die das eben "Marketingaktionen" wären. Abo-Preis wäre richtig niedrig und bestimmten Goodies verbunden, so dass man den Abo-Preis schnell wieder drin hat.
Du denkst wieder an irgendwelche Schlauberger, die nebenbei privat Autos kaufen und verkaufen und das eigentlich gewerbsmäßig einen Autohandel betreiben und sich für Schweinchen Schlau halten.
Ich rede von einem richtigen Unternehmen / Startup, mit einem schönen Büro in einem alten Fabrik-Loft Gebäude irgendwo in Berlin, unverputzte Backsteinwände, mit weißen Mittzon Schreibtischen von Ikea, passenden Ofinto-Stühlen und schicken Apple-Rechnern, teuren Kaffeevollautomaten, "Lounge-Ecken" mit coolen Sofas, "Meeting-Points" auf jeder Etage, wo man kurz bei einem Kaffee ein ungeplantes kurzes produktives Meeting haben kann, mit Krökeltischen , dem obligatorischen Obstkorb und der "Snack-Schublade" gefüllt mit Süßigkeiten. Natürlich noch ein vollausgestattetes Fitness-Studio im Basement und ganz oben eine Bar / Roof-Top - Chill-Area, wo der CTO freitags hinter der Bar zum Afterwork-Get-Together lässig Drinks mixt, während der CMO am Grill steht (im Sommer natürlich nur). Das lockt dann auch genug IT-Malte und Sörens an, die in Berlin rumturnen, denn irgendwer muss ja auch an den weißen Schreibtischen an den Rechnern sitzen und ab und zu auch ein bisschen arbeiten, also an ein paar Tasten drücken, während sie in ihren pastellfarbenen Hoodies und viel zu engen Hosen und überteuerten weißen Sneakern auf den Bildschirm starren und ihre rahmenlose Brille zurechtrücken.
Ich würde das nur bis zu einer Größe bringen wollen bis irgendein Heiopei kommt und mir eine angemessene Summe für den Laden zahlt.
Am Ende wäre es ein "Einkaufs-Club" bzw. würde man es so vermarkten.

> I'm asking myself those questions.
Good. Now ask yourself:
-Why did Glen De Vos agree to come on board MicroVision, first as CTO, and then agree to take on the CEO position if he thought that he couldn’t turn the ship around in the eyes of the automotive LIDAR OEMs? Was he an unknown in the automotive world and doesn’t he have vastly more experience in the automotive world than the CEO of INNOVIZ, AEVA, AEYE, Ouster? Is he not also well regarded in the automotive world?
Keep asking yourself questions about how else he can boost the share price without resorting to a reverse split? Open your eyes and don’t fall for the tunnel vision of the Doom crowd here just because they’re miserable and misery loves company or they have a more nefarious agenda. Keep doing your own due diligence for clues.

Who knows for sure. But when someone joins a company they are not omniscient. They take a risk. I am sure Glen believed in the overall LiDAR market. He was familiar with the Ibeo technology. He was probably impressed with the MEMS LBS technology, especially it's low cost nature. Upon accepting the CTO role, he probably didn't understand it had some warts. I am not in the camp that it was a foregone conclusion that he would matriculate to become CEO. But that ultimately happened. Scantinel and Luminar both fell into insolvency. He serendipitously took the opportunity to acquire those assets.
Maybe Microvision is simply the chosen one. :-) No, I don't believe there is someone or some entity purposefully pulling the strings. But perhaps Microvision is just lucky!
To wit, Sumit pivoted Microvision to LiDAR in early 2020. The LiDAR space was hot! This was not exactly luck, as this could be seen at the time and Sumit should be credited for making the bold move. However, the market went nuts. In 2021, the GME and MEME craze kicked off an incredible market frenzy, even Jeffries Financial blocked short selling of GME, AMC, and MVIS! If this market craziness didn't happen, Microvision would have gone bankrupt or sold for single digit millions.
This was very lucky! It could that the recent acquisitions and their timing were very lucky. We don't know yet. Time will tell. But of course, it isn't just luck that writes the story. Someone needs to capitalize on the luck. Glen speaks of execution. I am confident we will learn more about the execution plan today, but probably not the entire plan.
