Panel Discussion: The Ideal Recipe for KOL Strategy

Panel Discussion: The Ideal Recipe for KOL Strategy

A panel of crypto KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) convened to dissect “The Ideal Recipe for KOL Strategy” in 2024. Moderated by the insightful Joy Song, the panel featured a diverse group of voices: Anndy Lian, a seasoned investor and author; MAD CRIPTO, a fund manager building the innovative “Knights” project; Your Crypto DJ, a DJ and prominent voice in the meme coin space; and Sandro Crypto, an advocate for utility and education.

The discussion kicked off with a question on the hottest narratives of 2024. While acknowledging the allure of AI and liquid staking, the panelists highlighted the persistent dominance of meme coins. Anndy Lian emphasized the importance of community engagement, noting that meme coins, despite often lacking inherent utility, thrive on the strength of their communities. MAD CRIPTO echoed this sentiment, pointing out that meme coins offer a simplified entry point for new investors, contributing to their explosive growth.

However, the panel acknowledged the double-edged sword of meme coins. Your Crypto DJ, a self-proclaimed meme coin enthusiast, appreciated their transparency – they are what they are, pure community-driven gambles. Sandro Crypto, on the other hand, expressed concern over the speculative frenzy they incite, emphasizing the need for education and a focus on projects with genuine utility.

The conversation then shifted to the impact of platforms like Pump & Dump, which have democratized token launching. While acknowledging its role in simplifying the process, Your Crypto DJ expressed concern over the platform’s potential to drain liquidity, leading to short-lived tokens.

The panelists agreed that discerning quality projects amidst the meme coin deluge is crucial. Sandro Crypto highlighted the evolving role of KOLs, emphasizing the need for projects to move beyond superficial engagement and recognize the value of authentic community building. He cited the example of node sales, where KOLs with dedicated communities demonstrably drove significant investment.

Anndy Lian stressed the importance of content quality and transparency, urging KOLs to prioritize their audience’s financial well-being over short-term gains from shilling dubious projects. He argued that a KOL’s true value lies in their ability to empower their community with knowledge and guide them towards profitable, sustainable projects.

The discussion concluded with a reflection on the future of the KOL landscape. Your Crypto DJ emphasized the importance of authenticity and building a genuine connection with one’s audience. Sandro Crypto reiterated his call for education and a focus on long-term value, urging aspiring KOLs to delve deeper into the technology and educate their audience on the fundamentals of blockchain and cryptocurrency.

The panel served as a microcosm of the evolving KOL landscape in 2024. While meme coins and short-term gains continue to dominate the conversation, there’s a growing recognition of the need for substance, education, and a focus on long-term value. As the industry matures, the KOLs who thrive will be those who can adapt to this changing landscape, prioritize their community’s best interests, and provide genuine value beyond fleeting hype cycles.

Cointelegraph, Newtribe Capital, ABCDE Capital, and Myco organized this event in Singapore on 18 September during the Token 2049 week.

Anndy Lian is an early blockchain adopter and experienced serial entrepreneur who is known for his work in the government sector. He is a best selling book author- “NFT: From Zero to Hero” and “Blockchain Revolution 2030”.

Currently, he is appointed as the Chief Digital Advisor at Mongolia Productivity Organization, championing national digitization. Prior to his current appointments, he was the Chairman of BigONE Exchange, a global top 30 ranked crypto spot exchange and was also the Advisory Board Member for Hyundai DAC, the blockchain arm of South Korea’s largest car manufacturer Hyundai Motor Group.

An avid supporter of incubating start-ups, Anndy has also been a private investor for the past eight years.

Panel Discussion- Navigating the Multi-Chain Future: Strategies for Seamless Integration

Panel Discussion- Navigating the Multi-Chain Future: Strategies for Seamless Integration

Blockchain technology is abuzz with talk of a multichain future, a future where different blockchains seamlessly interact, unlocking a new era of innovation and accessibility. But what does this future look like, and how will it impact both developers and everyday users?

Panel discussion at The Pheromones Party, organized by MemeCore tackled these very questions, bringing together leading minds in the multichain space to discuss the challenges, solutions, and ultimate potential of this evolving technology.

The conversation began with the fundamental concept of multichain compatibility—the ability for different blockchains to communicate and share data. The panelists agreed that this interoperability is crucial for the continued growth of the blockchain ecosystem, particularly as Layer 2 and Layer 3 solutions proliferate.

For developers, the rise of multichain presents both opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, it opens doors to building applications that leverage the unique strengths of different blockchains. On the other hand, it introduces development and user experience complexities.

Sara from ZkLink highlighted one key challenge: the need for a seamless user experience, one where users are not burdened with the technical intricacies of interacting with multiple chains. The ideal scenario, the panelists envisioned, is one where users remain blissfully unaware of the underlying technology, much like smartphone users don’t concern themselves with the specific chips powering their devices.

Security, naturally, emerged as a paramount concern. Antonio Liu, COO of Polyhedra, said, “As value bridges between chains, ensuring the integrity and security of these transactions becomes paramount. The panelists discussed various approaches, including zero-knowledge proofs and decentralized verification mechanisms, to mitigate risks and build trust in multichain interactions.”

Looking beyond the technical aspects, the discussion turned toward multichain technology’s practical implications and future applications. The panelists painted a picture of a future where blockchain transcends its financial roots and permeates various aspects of our digital lives.

One compelling vision involved leveraging blockchain for decentralized computing power. Imagine a world where individuals can seamlessly lend and borrow computing resources from each other, facilitated by blockchain’s secure and transparent nature. This could revolutionize industries like AI, where access to vast computing power is often a bottleneck for innovation.

Another key takeaway was the importance of focusing on blockchain’s fundamental value proposition—decentralization, security, and user ownership. While exploring new frontiers is exciting, the panelists emphasized the need to double down on delivering these core benefits to drive mass adoption.

Moderator of the panel Anndy Lian highlighted: “The path to a multichain future is not without its hurdles. Technical complexities, security concerns, and the need for seamless user experiences are some of the challenges. However, the potential rewards—a more interconnected, accessible, and user-centric blockchain ecosystem—make this a journey worth undertaking.”

He concluded, the future of blockchain is bright, and the continued development and adoption of multichain technology will play a pivotal role in shaping this exciting future.

The Pheromones Party is organized by MemeCore and co-hosted by OKX Wallet, OKX Ventures, and Shiba Inu.

Panel Discussion- Future of memecoin ecosystem: DApps and innovations

Panel Discussion- Future of memecoin ecosystem: DApps and innovations

Cryptocurrency is no stranger to fleeting trends, and meme coins are a prime example. While the initial hype surrounding these tokens often centers around viral moments and community enthusiasm, the question of long-term sustainability looms large. A recent panel discussion featuring prominent figures in the blockchain space discussed this issue, exploring the evolving landscape of meme coins and the crucial elements needed to thrive beyond the initial wave of enthusiasm.

The panelists, representing various projects and perspectives, agreed that while meme coins capitalize on cultural relevance and community engagement, their longevity hinges on offering tangible utility and value propositions beyond mere price speculation. Fuji, Eco Lead of IZUMI Finance, pointed out, “The biggest advantage meme coins have is their established community. The challenge lies in translating that community into a sustainable ecosystem with real-world applications.”

Several key trends emerged from the discussion, highlighting the evolving nature of meme coins and the path forward for projects seeking lasting impact. One prominent theme was the increasing focus on utility. Andrew Chen, CEO of FHERA, noted a shift from purely speculative assets to meme coins that offer tangible benefits, such as governance rights, access to exclusive communities, and integration within decentralized applications. This emphasis on utility, they argued, is crucial for attracting a broader user base and ensuring long-term viability.

Another significant trend identified was the importance of user experience. With the proliferation of blockchain projects, simplicity and ease of use are paramount. Panelists emphasized the need for meme coin projects to prioritize user-friendly interfaces and intuitive platforms that lower the barrier to entry for both seasoned crypto enthusiasts and newcomers alike. This accessibility, they argued, is essential for driving mainstream adoption and fostering a thriving ecosystem.

The discussion also touched upon the crucial role of storytelling in the meme coin space. While technical innovation and utility are undoubtedly important, the ability to craft a compelling narrative that resonates with the community is equally vital. Jared Schwartz, Galxe’s Strategy Advisor, stressed the importance of building strong brands, fostering community engagement, and communicating a clear vision for the future. Ultimately, they argued, the most successful meme coin projects will be those that can effectively weave together technology, community, and a captivating story.

Anndy Lian, the moderator for the session, concluded with a call for greater sustainability and a focus on long-term value creation within the meme coin landscape. While the initial hype surrounding these tokens can be fleeting, the underlying principles of community engagement, accessibility, and utility offer a blueprint for building projects that can withstand the test of time. As the meme coin space continues to evolve, the projects that prioritize these core elements will be best positioned to ride the wave of enthusiasm and establish a lasting legacy in the ever-changing world of cryptocurrency.

The Pheromones Party is organized by MemeCore and co-hosted by OKX Wallet, OKX Ventures, and Shiba Inu. This event is organized in conjunction with Korea Blockchain Week 2024.
