When Taylor thought about what had happened last night, he automatically hummed.
The balls of fortune rolled into the K Starcoin seminar room.
Thanks to the photos taken with the two from WHTS Company, Taylor’s name value was hitting the upper limit.
On SNS and Internet communities, where information spreads quickly, photos circulated even before the event was over, and related articles were scattered throughout the portal news this morning.
And now, Taylor is on the way to the broadcasting station to film ‘Successful Leader’, a terrestrial broadcaster.
“Hello PD. I am a little late.”
When Taylor arrives at the studio, the PD in charge jumps out.
“oh my. Mr. Taylor, it’s okay. I couldn’t even say hello properly the other day, right? Let’s have a meal after the recording today.”
“I have a schedule today.”
“Oh, you are busy. Or how about the next shoot?”
The broadcasting station PD who acted stiffly without even accepting a business card just last week treats him as if he were an honored guest in a matter of days.
‘That’s really funny. In the meantime, how much money has been poured into publicity, but I never thought that the effect of just one photo would be greater… … .’
The conversation I had with the WHTS Company that day was not helpful to K Star Coin at all.
‘How many people do you care about what’s going on there? All that remains is a picture.’
After a while, the recording started in earnest.
The program invited a guest worthy of a successful leader and had a conversation with the MC.
“Today, we have recently gathered the hottest guests on the internet and social media. That is Mr. Taylor Kim!”
“Nice to meet you. This is Taylor Kim.”
“Mr. Taylor is more handsome in real life. Oh, should I call you by your last name?”
“no. You can just call me Taylor.”
Since it was not a scripted program, the conversation proceeded in such a way that Taylor answered the MC’s questions.
“The company Mr. Taylor was at was a cryptocurrency developer, right?”
“We are developing and operating K Star Coin.”
“I heard that the cryptocurrency is a currency that utilizes K-pop in Korea. I can’t understand it even after listening to it. Can Mr. Taylor explain it in an easy way?”
Taylor recited a virtual currency promotion line that he had repeated hundreds of times.
“K Starcoin is a virtual currency pegged to $1. Here, another virtual currency called KSC Coin is interlocked with a special algorithm… … .”
Explanations are pouring in, mixing unfamiliar words and difficult concepts to the general public. The MC nodded a few times as if he didn’t understand, then quickly changed the subject.
“Thanks for the wonderful explanation. By the way, aren’t there companies in Korea that have already made a name for themselves in virtual currency?”
“There is WHTS Company.”
“Yes, the WHTS Company became a hot topic by investing in the acquisition of Tesla Motors and the oil drilling business. Word is going around that K-Star is similar to WHTS Company. What do you think, Mr. Taylor?”

Taylor knows this question will come up, so he deftly responds.
“WHTS Company is the number one cryptocurrency market capitalization company. It is a very ideal company as a role model for latecomers to follow.”
“aha. So you’re saying that the similarities aren’t coincidences.”
“I respect WHTS Company. So when I met CEO Shin Woo-hyuk and Lee So-young at a seminar not long ago, I was really happy.”
He subtly brought up the story of meeting Shin Woo-hyuk at the seminar. Even with the reaction of being surprised.
“I was trying to get the story out. On the Internet, the picture of Mr. Taylor and the WHTS Company meeting is a hot topic.”
“I have saved that picture too. You took really good pictures.”
“I heard that you talked for quite some time there. Can you tell me a little bit about what you were talking about?”
I had heard rumors that were nothing short of bullsh*t, but I had no intention of disclosing them. Taylor presents the words she prepared in advance.
“It was a meaningful occasion to discuss the future of virtual currency. I can’t divulge details, but… … I can say that CEO Shin Woo-hyuk was very interested in K Star Coin.”
“okay. Since they represent the industry, I think there must have been an in-depth discussion.”
Attending the seminar itself meant that I was interested, so it wasn’t a lie.
‘If this recording goes on air, the internet will turn upside down again.’
Taylor was already thinking of the headline of the article on the day of the broadcast.
[Which virtual currency is Shin Woo-hyuk, CEO of WHTS Company, interested in?]
[The behind-the-scenes story revealed on the air. Are the rumors of collaboration between WHTS Company and K Starcoin true?]
If the media does not write an article, it is enough to extract it by giving money.
Once a similar article spreads on the Internet, the K Star Coin market price will skyrocket at a terrifying pace.
It was only a matter of time before it was ranked in the top 10 by market capitalization.

K Starcoin appeared on terrestrial broadcasting with support for K-pop.
It is only natural that the market price rises when awareness rises through frequent exposure.
The market capitalization, which was ranked 17th, rose steeply to 10th, and rose two more steps to 8th in one day.
Reached 8th place in market capitalization within 3 weeks of listing.
Investors in K Star Coin could not hide their excitement at the unprecedented record.
Already on the Internet, not only the virtual currency community but also the general humor community were shouting Gazua.
-Today, too, let’s eat rice cake!!
-Any black cows who haven’t ridden K-star coins yet? Today is the lowest point, so it’s better to ride fast.
– Yesterday, all 28,000 won was spent, but when I woke up, it was 31,000 won? I’m sick to my stomach I’ll do it.
└ Now it’s over 34,000 won.
└Write. I should have bought it again yesterday. I’m going crazy because my hands itchy.
– I’m tired of hearing coins every day. Can’t coin bugs go somewhere else to play?
└Welcome to the loser who couldn’t buy a coin.
└ If you don’t buy coins now, you will be weeded out. I’m going to buy some.
-Everyone talks about coins, so I feel like I should buy them too.
└Buy it quickly. Now is the time to enter.
└ Can a salaried worker save a penny or two to buy an apartment? never buy it So, the answer is to aim for one shot as an investment.
The investment atmosphere that started on the Internet spread throughout society through news and word of mouth.
At this point, no one cared about the structure or use of cryptocurrency. Only the vague belief that if you just buy it, it will rise was dominating the board.

Le Royal Hotel in Luxembourg.
As I approach the elevator that goes directly to the penthouse on the top floor, bodyguards in black suits block my way.
“Show me your ID.”
After holding out the invitation, he clears the way with the moderation of a soldier.
After getting off the elevator, the inspection was conducted once more on the top floor. This time the bodyguard made me wait in front of the elevator even after checking the invitation.
It was a bit excessive security, but considering the status of the person I met today, I could understand it enough.
About a minute or two later, an employee wearing gold-rimmed glasses appeared.
“Please tell me the name of the guest who made the reservation.”
“This is Daniel Shin.”
“Confirmed. You can follow me.”
Follow the staff into the penthouse. In the room, there is a faint scent of cinnamon along with classical music that seems to have been heard somewhere.
smart.
A long time after the employee knocks, a gruff voice comes from inside the study.
“Come in.”
The staff only opens the door and takes a step back. I meant to go in alone.
‘I finally got to meet him.’
I move with a strange mixture of tension and excitement.
An old man with wrinkled white hair was sitting in the study.
He was a common old man on the streets of Luxembourg, but the moment his eyes turned to me, I had to breathe in vain.
The best fund manager of the 20th century and a living legend in the financial world.
It was my first encounter with John Soros.
“Sit down.”
He still casts an intense glare on me and looks me up and down.
In a heavy atmosphere, I introduce myself first.
“hello. I am Daniel Shin, CEO of WHTS Company. It is an honor to meet Mr. Soros.”
“It would be an honor to meet an old man like me. There must be more people in the world who want to meet you.”
“It can’t be.”
Soros stares at me again.
“You are one of the few people who supported Trump before he became the Republican nominee. Many, including myself, want to know why.”
“… … .”
“Why did you sponsor him? Please answer honestly.”
I can’t breathe because of the pressure I feel even just by looking at it.
I tightened my grip on the hand I hid behind my back and opened my mouth.
“The times wanted him.”
“Are you going to go over with blunt words?”
“I was just telling the truth.”
He wrinkles his forehead, probably because he didn’t get the answer he wanted.
“Then I will ask you this time. Does Mr. Soros think Hillary is the president?”
“It wasn’t a candidate I liked.”
“Then why did you support Hillary?”
“Yeah, of course… … .”
Soros burst into laughter as if he finally understood the meaning of my question.
“It sounds like there were more people who wanted to drop Hillary than Trump.”
“It is correct to say that there were many people who were disillusioned with the established politicians, not exactly Hillary.”
“To see through that and bet on Trump, a strong heart like you would be hard to find even on Wall Street.”
“It is an overestimation.”
Starting with the story of the US election, the atmosphere softened.
Afterwards, light chatter or discussions of international affairs and economics continue, and then the topic returns to virtual currency.
“I never dreamed that crude oil could be traded with a virtual currency developed by your company. Was this the reason you supported Trump?”
“I can’t say no.”
“Heh heh, really… … How many numbers did you guess? He must have been a very scary person.”
I deliberately made a noise as I set the teacup I was holding down on the table.
“Rather than that, can I tell you why I came?”
“Oops. This old man has been talking to himself since earlier. Please tell me.”
“I heard that Mr. Soros has paid off with aggressive investment strategies in the past. A typical example was the pound short selling case.”
The Pound Short Selling Incident was an incident in which Soros’s hedge fund attacked the Bank of England by short selling.
At this time, Soros raised the leverage to the maximum and shorted over $10 billion in pounds, which succeeded perfectly and earned astronomical profits.
“It has already been over 10 years.”
“It is still talked about among investors.”
“At that time, I was confident that I could do anything. Actually, the results weren’t too bad.”
He stares out the window, as if he is reminiscing about the past.
“There is no fund manager John Soros anymore. Only retired old men remain.”
“Why is a retired person investing his personal fortune?”
“An old man’s pastime.”
It’s a sound that doesn’t even come to mind. He was the first person to return to the market when an opportunity presented itself.
“great. Then may I request a pastime?”
“We do not accept investment requests.”
“It’s a $3 billion commission with a full table. It’s a very simple matter that can be solved with Mr. Soros’s breath.”
“Because of what… … ?”
Soros is interested in a figure of $3 billion. If you’ve come this far, it’s as if you’ve already crossed over.
“Please short sell cryptocurrency on my behalf.”
