It has been long since we have spoken. It’s great to hear from you again. Many things happen along the way, but anyhow, it’s great to see you and work closely alongside you once more. My journey in Shib started because of a fren. Thank you for trusting me with my knowledge and skill to contribute to the team. I know we parted our ways for a moment, but here we are again, back working together, side by side. I’m glad to call you my fren. Tezz.

While everyone must be wondering what happened to me. Firstly, I would like to say thank you to the Shib Army who have messaged me on Twitter and Discord asking about me. I am alright, just a little busy over the months. I have not been active in the space for personal reasons, but I’m glad to be back right now and hope everyone is healthy and safe. Lately, many scammers are still around trying to ride on Shib name. Always be careful of scammers trying to scam you. Always do your research and due diligence before participating in any project on your own.

Today I would like to share with everyone what I have been doing lately. As mentioned, recently I met an old fren of mine. He shared a vision with me for a project which would adopt Shibarium. From the start, if you have followed me closely, I have always said that the launch of Shibarium is just the beginning. The real game is adopting and utilizing the Shibarium network. Having a network launch without adoption, we will not achieve Ryoshi’s vision. As Ryoshi said, everyone is free to build anything they want to support Shib but it has to be in a good way which benefits Shib in the long run. But then again, is this project partnered with Shib? No it is not. It only utilizes the network. So what is this project called? It’s called KOYO.

Recent medium on KOYO was released by Kintaro. You may read it here. https://medium.com/@KintaroStrength/a-journey-that-begins-with-koyo-c08692796c81

Some may understand and some may not, but this is a story of a beginning of a new journey. Everything goes back to Ryoshi vision. I constantly read Ryoshi medium which has been archived in my personal medium. I have pinned them up for the Shib Army to read and always remember the Great Shiba. I remember those days when Ryoshi said, if we want something to happen, we don’t count on others. We should take the initiative to make it happen instead of asking wen. Of course, there is many scams out there and constant focus and research is needed to be made before participating.

Remember everything begins with a story, a dream, a vision. Good things happen when you have patience and believes. Shib started with nothing back on 1st August 2020. Ryoshi led the creation of Shib for 9 months and vanished. Later on, it was led by Shytoshi Kusama from that day onwards till now. Ever since Ryoshi vanished, Shytoshi has been the person to lead Shib to move forward. Shib veterans should have experienced those days when we had nothing. Then Shib grown to have it’s ShibaSwap, Shiboshi, ShibMetaverse and many others. Growth takes time, it doesn’t happen in a day or two.

Normally, people would ask to zoom out the chart to see the price of the project and hold it for a long term. Yes, I would agree to hold a project for the long term, but does the price really matter sometime? Not really. The hardest part for a person to enter the game has always been about the price. You will never know what’s the top price or the bottom is until it happens. Nobody knows where the market is heading. I would suggest people to research and understand the fundamentals of a project. If the fundamental is strong, then short term market volatility wouldn’t be an issue. Emotion does play a role at times like this. I have seen many people suffer from the market downturn because of their own greed. If you’re new in the game, you must know that the market will always go back up when the market finds it’s fair price. Remember when one is selling, one is buying on the other hand. The rich gets richer because they have the holding power, and you don’t. I’m sure many have experienced paper handed on Shib back in 2021 when the price was a low 0.000006xxx and Shib hit a high in the same year at the price of 0.00008xxx.

You have to ask yourself if you’re an investor or trader. If you’re an investor, you are here for long-term gains. If you’re a trader, then long-term gains isn’t your game. Once you have made this clear in your mind, you will see the capital market in a different way and much better. This don’t only work in crypto but also the stock market.

So what are you? investor or trader?

I would like to end this medium with a gift from a fren for everyone. I believe in the making of this project that it will go somewhere someday. There is a reason that this project is supported by Shib. It is best that you find out why and how. Thank you to a special fren for providing me with this gift. Now I would pass it on to others $KOY https://t.me/KoyoToken

When you come to the appointed place at the appointed time and meet some person, introduce yourself as Ryoshi. If they do the same, then you have met a special person

Ryoshi
