There is a story in the investment world worth pondering. A well-known fund founder has been betting on an electric vehicle company since 2012, initially investing $400 million. This commitment has never been changed. Today, the paper gains are close to $8 billion. Although there have been some reductions later, he still holds a position worth nearly $6 billion.



What's more interesting is that he has established a good relationship with the company's founder. Around 2017, the founder launched a semi-annual employee stock sale plan, inviting this investor to participate in bidding. From 2017 to the present, whenever employees reduce their holdings, this investor follows suit. Having invested a total of $1.1 billion, the paper returns have exceeded 40 times, making him the largest institutional holder of the project.

This case is quite interesting—finding truly visionary entrepreneurs and following them long-term can often yield unimaginable returns. Not everyone can have this patience and vision, but those who do often make a fortune in the wealth game.

tbh the relationship angle here is what actually matters more than the raw returns... anyone can get lucky with timing, but getting insider access to employee liquidation events? that's the real protocol nobody talks about. 40x on secondary purchases isn't coincidence, it's information asymmetry baked into trust. still, most people lack the conviction to sit tight for 12+ years lol

Basically, it's about betting on people rather than projects. That's true investment wisdom.

This is the information gap; ordinary retail investors simply can't access such opportunities.

This is the information gap. In the early stages, betting on the right person is much more important than betting on the right project.

If I had known it was this profitable, I wouldn't have written code. This is treating life like a gamble.

This is the information gap. Ordinary people are still chasing the trend, while others have already bottomed out.

Listen, this is the information gap... Most people are still chasing highs and bottom-fishing, while others have already won passively.
