Investor Marco Manoppo of Primitive Ventures shared his experience of missing out on a hundredfold investment opportunity in Virtuals Protocol on X. Marco reflected that despite being in early contact with the project, he failed to invest in time due to a misjudgment of the trend of the combination of crypto and AI. He emphasized that the Virtuals team achieved rapid iteration through cost advantages in Southeast Asia and stood out in the market with a pragmatic business orientation. Marco predicts that 2025 will witness a surge in the integration of crypto and AI, especially in innovations in AI agent tokenization, consumer applications, and payment fields.
