Blockchain investments must focus more on the protocol and the fundamental infrastructure, the founder of a famous venture capital based in China says.
"At the moment there are so many blockchain investments," says Node Capital's founder and CEO, Jun Du, in an interview with ZDNet. "There is a lack of logic behind these investments.
