I believe that the greatest talent as a researcher is "the confidence to put your opinions out to the public." And this is not something that can be easily acquired. Sometimes you have to engage in disputes with complete strangers, and sometimes you experience the embarrassment of publishing articles with errors. That's why most people either fail to publish their opinion pieces, only show them to friends, or try a few times but give up when they don't receive the expected attention. However, @jeg6322's case is truly exceptional, as he's a researcher who achieved zero-to-hero growth. Who had fewer than 1k followers before @KaitoAI, is now Top 15 Korean yapper with 14k followes and one of the very few Korean individual researchers. Could this have been achieved through luck alone? I absolutely don't think so. He provided information faster than anyone else about emerging or small-scale projects that current Korean researchers weren't properly covering, which created perfect synergy with Kaito. When @ethos_network emerged, he penetrated insider groups faster than anyone and achieved a top-tier reputation score, which became the foundation for even faster growth. In my opinion, EWL's greatest ability is not just research, but his insight into understanding and penetrating how infofi works. I'm really excited to see how he'll grow in the next year.

My view on @KaitoAI has really shifted, so I looked back over the “Kaito recap” posts I wrote (Dec 24 to Jul 25). 1. First yap (Dec 25, 24) - 1 yap, 800 followers, 9 smart followers - From the moment I got my first yap, I was already pretending with lines like “I’m not writing tweets just for yaps.”🤣 - Honestly, looking back now, I was writing for rewards more than anyone - Expected rewards: Kaito airdrop and growing my account 2. Kaito mindshare leaderboard (Dec 27, 24) - Started using my mindshare leaderboard ranking in my posts - Also mentioned how mindshare was easy to target for small accounts - Kind of proud I figured out that structure just two days in - Recently I thought it was lame when people only posted to show off their rank, but I did exactly the same thing... even if it was six months ago 3. First one-month recap (Jan 30, 25) - 138 yaps, maybe 3000 followers, 60 smart followers - I was tracking my growth and honestly happy that a few researchers I really liked started following me - Also said I’d start an early stage project article series to fix my lazy habits... which I should get back to someday lol 4. One month later, Kaito airdrop claim (Feb 24, 25) - 5500 followers, 108 smart followers - That was around when my view of web3 changed from just a hobby to taking it seriously 5. ~July, 25 - After that it was mostly me flexing leaderboard rankings, showing profits, - and occasionally posting thoughts about Kaito, InfoFi, narratives, and KOLs - And now I’m at 750 yaps, 14,000 followers, 257 smart followers - Thank you to everyone following me, smart or not - Almost 250 smart accounts have started following me - Maybe in six months I’ll be in the “inner circle.” - Though honestly, I don’t even know if those smart accounts actually read my posts anymore - It’s not like when I was working so hard in the early days - Of course people always change depending on their environment - If Kaito had had fewer individual project leaderboards, I think it might have grown in a healthier way - I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it now, but both I and the people around me became really Kaito-focused - Honestly, when the posts I genuinely wanted to write didn’t get much engagement, I’d intentionally put up Kaito flex posts instead 😅 - “My mindshare ranking is this.” - “My yaps went up by this much.” - Anyway, the past six months with Kaito were really fun, even if it’s not as exciting as it used to be - Sure, I’ll still post about Kaito-related projects for money or other reasons, - but I really want to find a meta I can dive into just because it’s genuinely fun
