Primitive Ventures investor: 2025 will see more integration of encryption and AI

Marco Manoppo, an investor at Primitive Ventures, shared his experience of missing out on a 100x investment opportunity in Virtuals Protocol at X. Marco reflected that although he was exposed to 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 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 innovations in AI agent tokenization, consumer applications, and payments.
