Recently, I’ve noticed that many people are discussing VC projects, but in reality, many are still a bit unclear about this concept. Simply put, VC means venture capital. In English, it’s called Venture Capital. The core logic is that investors put money into companies with high growth potential in exchange for equity or returns. These kinds of projects are usually concentrated in areas such as technological innovation and startup companies, where high returns and high risks often coexist.
But in the past few years, I’ve found something very interesting: many VC projects set their targets from the very beginning, insisting that they must be listed on some major exchange. Honestly, that way of thinking is flawed in itself. As investors, we really can’t change the project team’s decisions, but that doesn’t mean we should passively be taken advantage of.
Rather than complaining, it’s better to take the initiative. My advice is straightforward: you must seriously top up your knowledge reserves. It’s not enough to read a few articles; you need to truly research every project, understand the investment logic behind what VC means, and have a clear understanding of what you’re going to put your money into. Don’t follow the crowd. Don’t be blindly swayed by so-called big names, but you can refer to their analytical approaches and extract a methodology that fits you.
Find the track you’re good at, build your own investment framework—that’s what should be done in the post-Bitcoin era. The four letters DYOR are not just a slogan. The phrase “do your own research” means walking your own path and making the right decisions. No matter how many VC projects there are, or how deep the scheme of “harvesting leeks” may be, as long as you have independent thinking skills, you won’t be easily exploited.
