PANews reported on December 19 that Marco Manoppo, an investor at Primitive Ventures , shared his experience of missing out on a 100-fold investment opportunity in Virtuals Protocol at X. Marco reflected that although he had been exposed to the project at an early stage, 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 cost advantages in Southeast Asia and stood out in the market with a pragmatic business orientation. Marco predicted that 2025 will usher in more crypto-AI integration booms, especially in the fields of AI agent tokenization, consumer applications, and payment innovations.
