Coin Conglomerate After Release

The first button of a short video service for the revival of Cy Club.

The camera app Winkle was focused on an absorption merger rather than an investment partnership.

late afternoon on Sunday.

In the Cy Club development room, the Winkle team members are diligently bringing their belongings to the Cy Club development room.

Personal items and computers are all luggage.

The rest of the desks, chairs, and fixtures were already in the Cy Club office, so the move was completed quickly.

“Looks like the tidying up is over.”

I take a quick look around the office, which has been perfectly finished with partitions and seating arrangements.

At that time, former president Kim Joon-pyo, who worked harder than anyone else, approaches.

“Thanks to the CEO’s care, I moved in really comfortably.”

“We are a team now, so of course we have to take care of them.”

“Thank you for your words. hahahaha.”

He smiles brightly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“By the way, Manager Kim, why did you move in such a hurry? You could do it slowly on weekdays.”

“It’s better to do it sooner rather than later. Employees won’t be able to concentrate on their work because their minds are floating in the old office.”

That’s right. If you want to collaborate with the Cy Club development team in the future, it will be easier in many ways to move quickly.

“Anyway, it seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve heard the word ‘team leader’. I heard that a lot when I was at work in the past.”

“You said you were on the LT Group software team before making Winkle, right?”

“Yes, I was a team leader and threw a resignation letter to start a business. But when I came out, running a company was not an ordinary job.”

Kim Jun-pyo shook his head and continued talking.

“Ugh, when I was at work, even if things didn’t work out, my salary was always paid, but now that I’m the boss, a month goes by so fast. As soon as payday approaches, it’s almost suffocating.”

“So you chose a merger rather than an investment this time.”

“you’re right. You don’t know how happy I was when I received the offer from the CEO.”

Certainly, Kim Jun-pyo’s expression was different from when he first met him. Even the atmosphere gives off a feeling of relaxation and peace.

“Ah, that doesn’t mean I’m going to do things roughly.”

“I know. If I had no intention of working hard in the first place, I wouldn’t have packed my things and came to the office during the holidays.”

“hahahaha. Thank you for a good look.”

Even after that, Kim Jun-pyo confided to me the things he had experienced while running Winkle.

After listening to the story, it was money in the end. Since Winkle is a free app, it must have been because there was no good place to make money.

Then, the topic of conversation automatically shifted to work.

“Didn’t the CEO say he would add the Winkle app to Cy Club?”

“I plan to.”

“I’ve been thinking about it since I heard that… … No matter how hard I tried, I had no idea what the outcome would be.”

Park Tae-shik said something similar to him.

Although there have been video services such as YouTube and Popcast, there has been no SNS that focuses on videos, so it was natural.

I decided to give an example so that he could understand it as easily as possible.

“It is literally a way to upload a video and communicate with a large number of users based on that video.”

“Is communication a platform like Paprika with BJ?”

“Cy Club is not an internet broadcast, but an SNS. You can think of it as replacing posts that used to be text and pictures with short videos.”

Kim Joon-pyo must have understood my intentions now, and he knelt down on his knees ‘Tak!’ It hits loudly.

“The reason why Cy Club needed Winkle was because of user activation.”

“you’re right. Rather than just taking a video and asking them to upload it, the interaction of moving stickers will increase the upload frequency much more.”

For example, a face can be comically transformed, an animal can appear, or the setting can be changed to a club, a theater stage, or a bathhouse.

It was human psychology that when you first encounter such a novel camera filter, you want to take a picture of it, and furthermore, you want to post it somewhere to show off.

“To enjoy such an effect properly, there must be a wider variety of stickers than the current Winkle.”

“How many?”

“At times like this, the word you need is called the more-than-everything.”

Kim Jun-pyo nodded as if he understood, but his expression was full of embarrassment.

“I… … CEO, Among the stickers, the live stickers used in the video require a lot of work.”

“Is it because it is a moving image?”

“There is a reason for that, and since we have to recognize and track people’s faces, it can be considered that the amount of work is five or six times that of regular stickers.”

“All right. Then, live stickers will be updated only about 4 times a week.”

He looks at me with his mouth wide open when he hears four weeks.

“No surprises. We will, of course, add staff to the team.”

“If you want to create 4 new live stickers every week no matter how much staffing is done… … .”

“Is it difficult?”

“You can see it as difficult unless you make it on the fly. Or maybe it will be possible if the development team size is quadrupled.”

Currently, the Winkle development team consists of seven people, including the president Kim Jun-pyo.

If you multiply it by 4, you get 28 people.

In other words, there are more camera filter development teams than Cy Club development teams.

“If necessary, we have no choice but to hire more people.”

Kim Jun-pyo’s mouth opens again. It seems that the stomach is wider than before.

“No, are you kidding?”

“Didn’t Team Leader Kim just say you needed that much?”

“That’s true, but I’m just saying this because I wonder if it’s right to have a development team like that for a camera filter app.”

Then, belatedly, he slapped me on the mouth as if he remembered something.

“Oops, I said something stupid. I’m not even the president anymore, but I’m presumptuous… … sorry.”

“What do you have to be sorry for? That’s enough to worry about.”

The camera filter is a field that will grow explosively as video services grow in the future.

So, even if Cy Club were to fail, the value of Winkle itself was calculated to double the amount I invested in.

“We will supplement the development manpower as needed. So, Manager Kim, please focus only on the results.”

When I go to work at KN Chemical, all I do is stare blankly at my computer.

Too much work is painful, but too little work is also painful.

It’s not some kind of late sergeant, and time doesn’t go too fast. There is also a way to go out with an excuse to work outside, but that’s for a day or two.

So today, I quietly head to the rooftop smoking area.

“after… … cold. cold.”

In this kind of weather, if a smoking area were built without a screen, who would come up here to smoke?

Thanks to that, I’m glad I can be alone quietly, but I can’t help but curse.

I don’t know anything else, but a tent is fine.

profit.

Lit a cigarette while crouching down. And at the same time as taking a deep sip, a vibration came.

Zing-Zing-Zing-

The reason why I go up on the roof even when it’s cold.

It was for this.

-CEO, can I call you?

A smiling beauty on the other side of the phone screen waves at me.

This is Lee So-young from the cryptocurrency development team.

These days, when we have a meeting, we would talk through video calls like this.

“I am ready. Please tell me.”

I quickly extinguished the cigarette I had just lit and set the screen upright.

-It’s not different. I have contacted you because I have something to tell you about the compensation issue of Acorn Coin.

“compensation? What reward are you talking about?”

-This is a reward given to Acorn Coin holders. As you know, the recent price of Acorn Coin has been weak.

After the Bitcoin crash I caused, Acorn Coin was barely using its strength.

It seems that Cy Club’s performance has been a hindrance, so it seems that there was even talk of compensation.

-Your representative told me the other day. The issuance of acorn coins should not be a mining method.

Mining here refers to the act of mining cryptocurrency as if mining a mineral.

It was mainly done using a computer’s CPU, graphics card, or professional mining equipment, and a certain amount of coins was compensated according to the invested computing resources.

Representatively, Bitcoin and Ethereum were using this mining method.

-So, I’m thinking of issuing coins while rewarding with proof-of-stake staking. What do you think?

“If it’s staking, it’s a system like a savings account in a bank, right?”

-It’s similar. If you tie up a certain amount of coins, it is a form of rewarding coins like interest.

If an interest system is created for acorn coins, there will be more buyers to receive coin interest, and the price of acorns will naturally rise.

“It’s a good method, but do we really need to raise the market price by doing that?”

– These days, investors are not alone in their dissatisfaction. The price of other coins goes up steadily, but only the acorn coin remains the same.

Even if interest is paid through staking, it is only a temporary measure.

As long as Cy Club, the root cause, does not flourish, the value of Acorn Coin will continue to hit bottom.

“Will there be any problems with staking on our side?”

– Not at all. Acorn coins are not mined by mining, so it is better to issue new coins like this.

“Soyoung is an expert in this field, so please proceed with good judgment. Instead, please do not make an external announcement.”

-Isn’t it better to announce the good news quickly?

I shake my head and open my mouth.

“I have an important issue to announce together.”

Recently, there have been a lot of stories about acorn coins in virtual currency investment discussion forums.

As the price of Acorn Coin steadily hit bottom, rumors spread that staking was being prepared in response.

-Oh, the coin price is rising like crazy these days. It seems that everything goes up except for the coin I bought.

– You must have bought acorns.

– How did you know?

-The only coin that hasn’t gone up recently is Acorn. The rest are flying high.

When the story of acorns comes up, harsh words are poured into the discussion forum without fail.

– Dog-like acorn coins! Isn’t that a total scam? Why isn’t this guy alone?

-Look at Cy Club. looks like it’s going up It is convenient to just sell and exchange for another coin.

-If I bought etherium instead of acorns, I would have eaten 30% by now. Not even acorns in real dog food. don’t go up alone

– Let’s make a complaint to WHTS Company.

-What difference does it make to protest against Cy Club’s unpopularity?

-You have to ask for staking. If big investors get tired of this and leave, the price goes down even more.

-Hold your breath until the Acorn Coin staking opens. growl…

The discussion forum was full of swearing and resentment toward the acorn coin developer.

It was an unavoidable situation because there were a lot of acorn coin investors in Korea.

– Acorn, just hold for now. There are good news and bad news this time.

People flock to the word thrown by someone.

It was an ID that I usually went around solving insider rumors.

– No, bad news? What if the price goes down here? It’s ridiculous.

-Is the good news open to staking?

-Please give me a hint. That way, you either throw all or buy all.

-It is true that the good news is to open staking. And the bad news is…

For a while, the discussion forum, where articles were constantly posted, became quiet.

It’s because everyone is nervous about the bad news that will follow.

– Cy Club is starting a new service soon. If you participate there, they will give you an acorn as a reward.
