What I noticed when I started sending out research articles to foreign countries
I've been doing this for only a few weeks and I've already learned a lot.
Good morning.
This is Mitsui, a web3 researcher
Today is the blog time to write about what I have been feeling recently.
Last week's research
Here is a summary of last week's research. Please take a look at any articles you may have missed or found interesting.
These are just a few of the things we will continue to research this week, so please look forward to it!
We have begun sending out research articles for overseas audiences.
I started writing research articles in Japanese about a year ago and began developing them in English a few weeks ago.
Since we have just started, we do not have many subscribers at all, but we will continue to work on it. Originally, I started this Japanese version of Substack around the end of June last year for my own study, and from there various people gradually subscribed to it, so I hope that the international version will gradually spread as well.
And even though I don't have much influence yet, I'm starting to get a few responses.
I've been getting responses on Twitter and updates on Medium, and I've received comments from some influential crypto media people who have asked me, "Would you like to be featured on our site?" I've received a comment from an influential crypto media person asking me if I'd like to post it on my site.
I was surprised to get that kind of response, even though we only have a few dozen PVs or so, and I feel that overseas, even though they are looking at the size of the market for global use, they care about a very small part of the market in the immediate future.
I heard a story about Stripe's early days when they talked to the person sitting next to them at a café and asked them to use their service, and I felt that this kind of muddiness and energy is commonplace in this world.
Of course, I don't think I have yet touched the depths of this entrepreneurial culture, but I was able to see a glimpse of it just by sending out messages in English for a few weeks.
We often give reasons to the external environment, such as the fact that English-speaking countries like the U.S. and India are globally connected, the market size is huge, and huge amounts of money can be raised, but I think they simply spend a lot of time on the amount of work and the acquisition of one user in the immediate future.
I think they have both a grand ambition to change the world and a high standard to accomplish the immediate one, regardless of web3 or anything else.
It is a thought that makes my spine stand up straight. I am also planning to develop research articles and web3 support for the overseas market, so I will do my best.
Thank you again for your support this week!
