Thanks to #blofin exchange for the nice party

Usually I am using @fragmentanalyzer_bot. It is ai tool not perfect but I can say I like it.
So any of you can search and understand the approximate value of the nicknames. In the picture you can see analyze of on of nickname that I am renting atm - @banker

Friends, you might have noticed how the number of views on my posts are changing.

This is because I'm testing different methods for organic channel growth. Unfortunately, I don't yet have a complete set of knowledge about promotion on Telegram. But I want to share something absolutely cool: nicknames that you can attach to any channel, bot, or app. In the Fragment app, you can buy nicknames as NFTs. Currently, I have two additional nicknames pinned in my profile header: @satoshi_nakamoto and @banker. Each of them drives views. Before this, I had nine nicknames attached, many of which were worth more than $20,000. That's why the number of views on my posts was high.

How did this become possible? The thing is, if you own nicknames, you can rent them out for any period. I was happy to take advantage of this opportunity. Thanks to my friend who has been investing in these nicknames for a long time and now has more than 200 popular names. For example, he is currently selling one of the nicknames, @banking. It can also be rented. If anyone is interested, message me privately. What I like most about this story is that Pavel @Durov continues to pleasure us with various new tools for organic channel growth. I've counted at least six of them: giveaways, gifts, hashtags with stories that can now be searched on Telegram, nicknames, and much more. Nicknames rightly hold an important place in such promotion. The feature is not new, but with the popularization of blockchain and activities related to the Fragment platform, plus the arrival of corporations in the world of blockchain, this feature can take on new colors.

I am an opponent of buying ads in channels and a supporter of organic growth. In the near future, I will have a number of meetings about Telegram promotion. It is quite likely that my team and I will get more fully involved in this game.

P.S. I am deliberately not writing about the downsides of some of these things; they definitely exist. One of them is the KYC requirement for buying nicknames through Fragment. But this is an inevitability that we face. I am 99% sure this is a requirement of the Apple and Android markets, which simply migrated to Telegram and Fragment, respectively. Perhaps in the near future, I will make a table with a visual analysis of the pros and cons of this story.

I would be happy if you would repost and like it. I wrote the post in one breath, and I hope you enjoy reading such long-reads.

I got back from Japan a few days ago. Because of jetlag and some urgent meeting I am posting here my feedback and summary just nnow.

✅ Pros
Legal & Corporate Backing: Crypto is fully legalized, with big corporations actively pushing the industry forward.

Partnerships & Investment: Great potential for finding partners and investors for your project.

Amazing & Affordable Food: You can find incredible quality food at surprisingly cheap prices, from local spots to convenience stores.

❌ Cons
Language Barrier: Most people don't speak English, making communication tough. Hire a translator if you want to make your trip more efficient.

WebX Conference: A disorganized, promotional event with no real chance to connect with founders. Booth staff were not knowledgeable.

Heat & Cost: Brutal heat and crazy expensive taxis ($100-$200 rides) make getting around a nightmare.

Pro-Tips for Your Trip
Choose Your Route Wisely: Avoid layovers in China if you can. My experience was awful—long queues, rude staff, and flight delays of 4-5 hours. Stick to democratic countries for a smoother journey.

Get a Suica Card: As soon as you land, buy a Suica card. Load it with about $300 (in yen) and use it for all your public transit and even in many convenience stores. It’s a lifesaver.

Prep for Side Events: Don't rely on the main conference for networking. Register for side events in advance on the lu.ma app. It's where the real connections happen. BTW here is my luma link.
