Da Shan on "Blockchain 100": With AI in one hand and crypto in the other, this is the oil and gold of our era.

Welcome to "Blockchain 100 People." This is a livestream program initiated by Binance Square. We hope to find people in the industry who have truly done things and driven industry development, and listen to their stories. Today, we don't just want to know what our guest has done — we want to know why they did it at the time.

Today's guest is Mr. Dashan. He started getting involved with Bitcoin in 2011, and in 2013, during his PhD studies, he built his own mining rigs. In 2017, he resigned from HiSilicon (Huawei) to enter the industry full-time and founded Waterdrip Capital. Since then, he has invested in over 200 projects and managed multiple funds. In the past two years, he has also served as Chairman of an AI company, applying the computing power expertise he accumulated from early Bitcoin mining to AI data centers.

From miner to VC to AI, what he continues to bet on is the foundational productivity of the next generation of the digital world. Today, we want to discuss: Which choices were right, and where did he step on landmines? How is the BTC Layer 2 ecosystem he heavily invested in performing now? Is the crypto industry still worth staying in? Is AI a better place to go? And if using his own money, how would he view Bitcoin at this moment?
