A reader asked me how to handle the tokens obtained from participating in Virtual's initial offerings. Should I continue to stake them or sell them?

Among all my tokens, I have only sold some of the Virgen meme coin after receiving it; all other tokens I obtained are staked, and I haven't sold any.

I sold part of the Virgen because it is a meme coin, and participating in it was purely for fun. So when I saw a good profit after receiving it, I sold some, but I still kept part of it staked.

As for why I staked all the other tokens and didn't sell:

First, I hope that one of these projects will truly emerge as a valuable and profitable one;

Second, from a profit perspective, according to the rules of Virtual's initial offerings, the tokens I received are very few, and selling them doesn't yield significant returns for me.

The key to participating in Virtual's initial offerings is to accumulate a lot of points. I have never calculated how those points are actually obtained. I am also quite lazy and didn't choose the maximum term for staking in Virtual, so the points I earned are limited, and I participate in projects cautiously.

Some projects I like are popular, with very high participation, which means I can't invest much at all, and the shares I can obtain are very small. There are also some popular projects that have high returns after launch, but I don't particularly like them, so I didn't participate.

On average, even if I sell immediately after the projects go live, the returns from the projects I participated in are not high.

For example, I originally planned to invest 100 dollars, but due to point limitations, I could only invest 5 dollars. This 5 dollars invested would yield an average return of about 10 to 20 times, with a maximum return of only 100 dollars.

This results in my original plan to invest 100 dollars, but in reality, even if I sell everything, the most I can get back is 195 dollars, which is less than double my investment.

If it were just for this return, I might as well buy Ethereum, which has lower risk and requires less effort.

So I decided to stake everything and see if I can catch a project with high future returns from that 5 dollars invested.

Even if all the projects I invest in fail, I would only lose a total of 5 dollars.

The current initial offerings in the Virtual ecosystem have more short-term significance than long-term significance. The most important significance at this stage is to gather popularity and attract developers and participants into this ecosystem. However, to ensure the long-term development and growth of the Virtual ecosystem, it must continuously generate value and realize a wealth effect—achieving this goal currently seems to depend on the implementation and launch of the ACP protocol.

The vision of the ACP protocol is to enable interaction between AI Agents, generating value and profit through interactions between AI Agent to C (A to C, for ordinary consumers) and AI Agent to AI Agent (A to A, AI Agent to AI Agent).

If this protocol can be realized and produce results, it will not only connect all existing AI Agents in the ecosystem but also provide a good direction for the future development of AI Agents. It will guide the development of AI Agents to focus on interactions based on smart contracts and how to generate value through those interactions.

As long as this direction is established, I believe new blockbuster AI Agents that surpass AIXBT will emerge, and they will appear in batches. Some currently plummeting but valuable AI Agents will also rise from their lows and reach new highs in the future. At that time, even without any AI Agents tokens, just holding Virtual will yield good returns.

Conversely, if the ACP protocol cannot be realized, no matter how the current launch platform changes its mechanisms or methods, its effects will be temporary. Ultimately, investors will still judge the project and the ecosystem based on the performance of AI Agents rather than the mechanisms of the launch platform.
