Golden Finance reported that Primitive Ventures investor Marco Manoppo shared his experience of missing out on a hundred-fold investment opportunity in Virtuals Protocol on X. Marco reflected that although he came into contact with the project early, he failed to invest in time due to misjudgment of the trend of combining encryption and AI. He emphasized that the Virtuals team achieved rapid iteration through Southeast Asia's cost advantages and stood out in the market with its pragmatic business orientation. Marco predicts that 2025 will usher in more integration of encryption and AI, especially innovations in the fields of AI agent tokenization, consumer applications and payments.
