Review of the Kaito x Sentient x Billions Halloween Party held on the 29th
I participated in a meetup after a very long time. The reason is that during the KBW period, I experienced a jjimjilbang side event hosted by @KaitoAI, @SentientAGI, and @keplrwallet, and I thought that if there was an intersection between any two of these three projects, I would definitely have to go.
Thanks to that, I wore a costume for the first time in my life, which I thought I would never do, and many people were quite serious about cosplay, so it wasn't as awkward as I had imagined.
Since it was in Hongdae, not Gangnam as usual, it was really refreshing to visit a younger area after a long time, and the drinks and food were provided for free, so I had a great time.
There are two main takeaways from this meetup:
1. The era of self-PR, and thus the increasingly creative methods
As the meetup meta has officially started this year, I meet dozens of new people at each meetup, leading to situations where we are unsure about each other. Among them, more and more people are preparing various special self-PR tools to be memorable.
@cryptopiazi often prepares mini-games at each meetup, bringing lottery tickets or small gifts, and @coinshooot made name tags from Twitter profile pictures to distribute.
And yesterday, there was someone wearing a Yafibara costume, and when I scanned the QR code on their chest, it linked to their Twitter. (I remember it was @Crypto_i_let)
I think it's very desirable to continue promoting oneself in fresh ways, and I'm curious about what other methods will emerge in the future.
2. Increasing cases of foreign founders or team members staying in Korea for a long time
At the event, @billions_ntwk's @jgonzalezferrer was also at the party, and it seems they have been in Korea since before the KBW period and are staying continuously. They mentioned that they can only stay for three months a year, so they fill up the three months, take a cool-off period, and then return.
Recently, I heard that @irys_xyz's founder Josh was in a similar situation before leaving recently. Korea is such an important market, and for crypto founders, Korea is a very livable place, which might be why this is happening.
Among people working in the crypto industry, many live in Lisbon, Portugal, or Dubai, UAE, mainly due to tax policies.
If Korea's crypto policies move in a direction that makes it easier for overseas projects or wealthy individuals to live in Korea, I think it could become a place where many project people can live and easily interact, even if it doesn't become the crypto capital of Asia.
