American entrepreneur Naval Ravikant, who is known as one of the most prominent angel investors in Silicon Valley, has<a href="https://x.com/naval/status/1853256013484269828" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">opined</a> that most cryptocurrency projects end up dying because their founders get rich "too early."
The AngelList founder has backed<a href="https://cryptorank.io/funds/naval-ravikant/rounds" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">various</a> cryptocurrency projects, including self-custody platform Casa.
Ravikant's most recent take has attracted a lot of attention from the investment community.
In response to Ravikant's post, Aaron Jacobson, marketing lead at the X social media platform, has commented that a lot of cryptocurrency projects fail to survive due to the fact that they come up with their own tokens with questionable decentralization instead of building on top of existing cryptocurrencies (such as<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-btc-dominance-hits-60-despite-major-price-reversal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>). "Most crypto projects die because they tried to fund the project with a token controlled by the founding team (it is always controlled unless BTC), rather than build on a currency that already exists," he said.
Mike van Rossum, a quantitative trader, has also noted that the tokenomics of certain projects is specifically designed to ensure that venture capitalists and other participants make the most of their money during token generation events.
Prominent venture capitalist Adam Draper, the son of Bitcoin whale <a href="https://u.today/billionaire-tim-draper-predicts-bitcoin-btc-price-might-reach-10-million" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tim Draper</a>, claims that the crypto space has historically been a world of "value capture" that precedes the creation of value. Hence, this leads to the creation of wealth before the quest is finished. However, Draper has noted that this is seemingly changing now.
Zaki Manian of Sommelier Protocol has noted that things have gotten better now that the market has stopped mispricing pre-revenue cryptocurrency projects. <a href="https://u.today/prominent-angel-investor-explains-why-most-crypto-projects-die" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on U.Today</a>
