Hey i'm Kimi, head of product at @voicecc, the first Opinion Layer of crypto
the honest version of how i got here
i started in sales, not crypto, not tech
just a kid who couldn't sit in a job that felt empty
buy low, sell high, produce nothing
i needed to build something that actually mattered
that itch pulled me through every seat in this industry:
> marketing
> BD
> product
2021 was where crypto started for me
becamo CPO of my first crypto agency in six months
last cycle i launched tokens and scaled communities
i shipped things that printed and things that died the day they went live
(for a while i blamed the market)
but it wasn't the market
most of what gets built in crypto never had a soul to begin with
a trend shows up, everyone copies it and blames the chart when it flatlines
then the question i'd been avoiding finally caught up with me:
am i building something that lasts or just watching numbers move?
that's what led me to VOICE
we put a price on opinions
your take carries real weight here, not a like that's worth nothing
every feature we ship maps to a real number or it doesn't ship
crypto builds on vibes but we build on metrics
on a human note, 100 days off cigarettes today
running on energy drinks and an unreasonable love for the work
(grateful to everyone who's been in VOICE early and everyone just showing up)
this is just the start of the VOICE takeover
prediction markets solve the wrong problem
polymarket and others proved people love having opinions about the future. but to participate you need to bet, and for you to win someone has to lose
so 90% of people just... watch (and around 70% eventually lose on their bets according to stats). these people have the opinion, they don't put money on it, their voice disappears
I will keep repeating this: your take shouldn't need a bankroll to count
curious to know whatโs more interesting for you: pure gambling vibes with a chance to win big or the ability the speak out your opinion and receive rewards objectively lower than betting wins?
everyone opens with "unpopular opinion" and then posts the single most agreeable thing you've ever read.
nobody actually puts anything on the line behind a take anymore. that gap is basically the thing we're building around

new cluster: Unpopular Opinion
https://t.co/EEIvaOm08J
every question here splits the room. twenty theses, two answers each, nothing in between
vote, see where the crowd actually stands, and find out how often your unpopular opinion isn't that unpopular
we used to spend weeks on the big flashy stuff. geo battles, kol battles, full production every time
then we just started shipping small things back to back, every single week, nothing fancy. dau climbed up 20%+
size of any one campaign mattered way less than never going quiet for a week
bit of an ego check for someone who likes building the big ones
