Yili Hua posted on platform X, acknowledging that he is very ordinary yet important. Whether in the classical industry or entering the cryptocurrency space, we have always focused on primary investment Liquid Capital & investment bank Liquid Digital and secondary trading Trend Research (crypto) & Trend Investment (classical). Although operating projects and exchanges are very profitable, our energy and capabilities are indeed limited, leaving us only to envy and be jealous.In 2018, we incubated a market maker, but because the team kept the profits for themselves and left the losses to us, we were left battered and bruised. After exiting in 2019, we have not deeply participated in market making again; at most, we have seen some good trading teams and made some investments. Conspiracy theories are always the most popular, but I am not a hexagonal warrior; where would I have the ability and energy to manage projects? The exchanges are very clear about this.
