ChainCatcher message, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng expressed his support for early innovative projects through angel investment, stating, "I am trying. I generally have a good sense of people, but it takes time.To understand an entrepreneur, one needs to observe how they make decisions and execute under various pressures, financial temptations, and user interests. Also, whether they are hardworking, flexible, market-aware, have a worldview, and possess leadership qualities. It's not something you can fully grasp just by chatting for a while. At least I don't have that ability.When I invested in Trust Wallet, I only met them once before investing. But I had been observing them for a while beforehand.In fact, this is what YZi Labs is doing. However, investing requires a significant amount of time commitment. There is no magical 'insight'."
