#2Chris Sacca is one of the few VCs that people outside of the SV bubble and even the tech world know and associate with the valley.
He, along with Mark Cuban & potentially a few others will likely be part of the few of this era remembered many decades from now when history gets consolidated into a few figures, much like Gordon Moore of Intel & William Shockley of the Mountain View of the 1950's.

Because of Shark Tank?

Judging by his website, because of his extraordinary ability to vet tech opportunities. Check out the list on his Posse page - it's staggering.

#5This looks like a really easy marker that we've topped out on unicorn/big secondary market.
When the smart big players start to take their chips off the table you can be sure this thing has peaked.

I'd like to see a list of his investments that also includes the ones that failed, as well as the amount on each investment.
Are there places that track this info among VCs?

Or it could have nothing to do with that, and be exactly what he says - he achieved what he set out to do and realizes that he now wants to do something else with his life, and has the time and resources to do so.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but is this the list you're referring to? http://markcubancompanies.com/index.html
What is staggering about that list? It looks pretty much like any list of a VC that has survived. One or two big but not tremendous plays like Dropbox and a lot of companies I haven't heard of before.

No, I believe they were referring to Sacca's investments: https://lowercasecapital.com/posse/

It definitely has some part. I don't think the reason really matters. It's a variety of things including personality that somehow eek out of the niche field into the mainstream that causes a singular person to become associated with an entire movement.
