"After Shytoshi": A Builder’s Wake-Up Call for Web3 From KIKI no Kokoro's post.
In a powerful and introspective message titled "After Shytoshi," $KIKI lead visionary Kiki no Kokoro reflects on the complex, often painful realities of building in the Web3 world — where visionaries, builders, and opportunists often walk side by side.
Kokoro’s message, written in the wake of a now-fractured relationship with Shiba Inu's symbolic leader Shytoshi Kusama, is not just a personal reflection — it’s a call to awareness for the entire decentralized community.
“Web3 is not a playground. It is a battlefield,” Kokoro writes. “Between the builder who creates in silence, and the marketer who moves the masses with dreams.”
He emphasizes the need for both: vision and action, hype and hard work. But he also warns of the third force — the scammer — who hides behind charisma and exploits belief for control, not contribution.
“They do not sell vision. They sell control.”
Kokoro’s post is ultimately a declaration of values: to build responsibly, to speak when silence would enable deception, and to ensure creators and communities are truly protected in the decentralized future we claim to be building.
“Between builder and marketer — that’s where I truly want to be.”
In a world often blurred by noise and narrative, Kokoro’s words cut through with rare clarity — a reminder that truth, trust, and transparency must always come first.
