5. Placeholder Partners: Most of the attention has been focused on SOL since 2022
Golden Finance reported that Chris Burniske, former head of Ark Invest crypto and current partner of PlaceholderVC, said on social media that I usually focus most of my attention on a major dark horse project in each cycle. It was BTC from 2014 to 2017, ETH from 2018 to 2021, and SOL from 2022 to now. Stay flexible and avoid dogmatism. At the same time, I still hold BTC and continue to stake ETH. Why focus on SOL now? I am personally more interested in this dynamic when a project is a hard-working but differentiated dark horse. Not to mention that many people will support those established projects (which will reduce the marginal benefits of my support), and far fewer people are willing to take risks for dark horse projects because it requires taking on factors such as career risks. The transition from dark horse to mature is what I am best at. So, one day, I may focus most of my energy on projects other than SOL. In the meantime, cryptocurrency remains a dark horse, so I support all sincere efforts, although I will highlight relative outperformance in each cycle.
