Concluding Seven Months of Yaping 1. The Beginning Virtual Yaping: A Journey to the Edge It was precisely when I lost all my assets. That's when Inhu recommended something called virtual yaping, and that's how I first entered the world of virtual yaping. Naturally, even writing a single word was overwhelming at first. I was sobbing, wondering how I was supposed to write anything, so I started, groaning and slogging through chat. Having only traded, I had no crypto knowledge whatsoever, and I wasn't even a KOL. 🟠A Lucky Entry into the Leaderboard Even a small business feels good to get promoted with a business card. For me, Dinggaring's Boop Dot Fun was exactly that. It was a significant step to join because it was practically empty, but even though the reward wasn't great, seeing my name on the leaderboard made me realize, "Oh, I can do anything." On the other hand, when Infinex, my main platform, went under and I heard people making money with Magic Newton, I didn't even try. I thought I'd never make it anyway. Looking back, I was so stupid. It was a classic loser's mindset, having desperately wanted something but never even trying. 🟠Survival Strategy: Early Entry With nothing, the only way for me to succeed was to get there early. Even if the rewards were low or I didn't know anything about the project, I would write an article as soon as I got onboarded and get on the leaderboard. That way, people would listen to me. Back then, it was incredibly intense. To get ahead of everyone else, I only slept four to five hours a night and wrote. If an idea suddenly came to me, I'd jot it down in a notepad right away, afraid I'd forget it. Every time I went to bed after writing those notes, my heart would race with excitement, thinking I'd have to write it the next day. It was physically exhausting, but the fact that I could focus on something ignited me again. 🟠Crisis and Overcoming During the MemeX campaign, which had the highest rewards ever, I read the trend, entered early, and started in 23rd place. However, I was forced to take a break after being banned from Twitter search due to excessive activity and reports, and I had to watch my mindshare decline. As the leaderboard normalized, I saw my peers drop out, and even as my rank rose, I felt a surge of guilt and despair. Then, I accepted the advice that life is inherently unfair and started running again. I put in all my effort, from equipping antennas to creating original artwork, applying to be an ambassador, and even staking. For the first time in my life, I achieved over 1,000 comments. My first significant profit ($2,000). Many people think I made a lot of money through yaping, but my lack of research skills prevented me from pursuing many profitable projects, so I didn't actually make that much. 🟠The First Experiences Yaping Gave Me Thanks to Yaping, I've experienced so many firsts in my life. Mira Network: Best Content Selection Kogottu Event: My First Win Through a Phone Call with My Grandmother Goat Network: My First Hotel Invitation and Course Meal Experience Portal to Bitcoin: My First Discord Grinding Sentient: Using Notion for the First Time in My Life to Win LoL Above all, yapping allowed me to not only write but also delve deeper into coins. It was a huge help in understanding the previously daunting crypto market. 🟠 Human Relationships and Self-Esteem Yapping also gave me new friends. The people I interacted with on Telegram and Twitter gradually opened my heart, which had been scarred by relationships. Honestly, there were times when I felt embarrassed around people who disliked yapping. However, with my seed value at zero, it was the only thing I could do from my position to pursue a free airdrop project and conduct research. Eventually, even those who had been criticizing me ended up hiring employees to do the yapping. Of course, I understand those who find it unpleasant. Everyone has their own story, so they must have had their own reasons. 💋In closing Ah, I realized I was still useful. At a time in my life when I felt most useless, Yaping was the one who made me realize my worth. Sidekick, UXLink, Goat Network, Surf, Portal to Bitcoin, Infinite, Iris, Hana Network, Youngji Labs, Talus, TheoRiQ, Sonic, Alola, Mira, Infinex. Still, I was very grateful. I'm truly grateful for all the connections I made through Yaping. Thank you for your hard work.
