Dovey Wan, whose Chinese name is Wan Hui, is a co-founder of Primitive Ventures and an early Bitcoin believer. She is recognized as an insightful figure in the 'English crypto circle' and is revered as a 'Crypto philosopher'. She is one of the few female investors who can freely navigate the Chinese and English crypto worlds, and she conducts her business in a very mysterious manner.
Investment Story: A Glamorous Transformation from Doubt to Belief
In 2013, Wan Hui was working in VC in Silicon Valley when she came across Bitcoin by chance. In just three months, she transformed from a skeptic to a staunch believer. She bought her first BTC with 100 USD and then resolutely left the traditional finance sector to embark on a life of 'ALL IN crypto'.
In 2017, she founded Primitive Ventures, focusing on early-stage project investments. While the market was crazily chasing DeFi, NFTs, and meme coins, she quietly invested in many obscure projects that 'no one understood', such as Dfinity (later the Internet Computer), Urbit (building decentralized computing infrastructure), and Cosmos (the 'underlying infrastructure' of cross-chain internet). Years later, these projects exploded, bringing her millions in wealth.
Success Logic: Cognition is the Highest Leverage
Wan Hui has a famous saying: 'I don't invest in trends, I invest in the underlying logic of trends.' She doesn’t look at candlestick charts, chase hot coins, or follow public opinion. She analyzes blockchain trends from philosophical, sociological, and even political theoretical perspectives, treating 'cognitive ability' as the highest leverage, investing in 'structural changes in the process of human social civilization'. She firmly believes: 'You can't predict prices, but you can predict the direction of civilization.'
Wealth and Influence: The Low-Key Ruler Behind the Scenes
Wan Hui is worth over a hundred million dollars, resides in the United States, and is extremely low-key. She does not take advertisements, does not act as a spokesperson, and does not issue coins, yet she is regarded as a spiritual mentor by OGs and VCs in the English-speaking crypto community, with a single tweet capable of influencing investment trends. She is like a 'female hacker in the Crypto world', hidden behind the scenes yet fully aware of everything.
However, in the eyes of some retail investors in the crypto community, Dovey Wan is a sharp and ruthless sickle, as the projects she participates in often reap heavy returns, which has also made her the subject of criticism. But it cannot be denied that in the crypto world, cognition is the strongest alpha. Her sharp investment insight is indeed worth learning from, just like her, quietly laying out the future in places that others do not understand.$BTC $ETH #币安Alpha上新 #香港稳定币新规 #Solana期货交易量创新高
