Taiki is the founder of HFAResearch, a DeFi-focused research company founded in 2021 with a mission to create high-quality, digestible content that helps separate signal from noise for DeFi enthusiasts. We were frustrated with the lack of authentic educational content on Crypto KZbin/Twitter and took matters into our own hands.

MY VALUES:
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
A lot of content creators are incentivized to pump out content for ad revenue. Taiki has never run KZbin ads on his channel because he believes in creating quality content, not monetizing your eyeballs via ads.
FOCUS ON THE LIQUID MARKETS
How can you trust a research company if they’re making “easy money” participating in VC/angel rounds and dumping on followers? Our firm focuses on the liquid markets, so we only participate in the liquid markets.
BE A GOOD PERSON
On top of not running any KZbin ads, Taiki has never participated in a paid promotion, a channel sponsorship, or even a DEX/CEX ref-link. We believe that to create quality research on the public markets, we have to only focus on the public markets.
PREMIUM RESEARCH
HFAResearch offers a Premium subscription. This is not meant to be a "copy trading" service or a “pump and dump” signal group. Taiki publishes two premium videos and an AMA livestream every week. Think of Taiki as your personal research analyst that keeps you on top of the markets so you can focus on what you do best. You also gain access to a private discord with the largest premium DeFi community. There, Taiki also gives frequent updates as well as real-time analysis on current events in crypto.
We believe this is a better way to create a sustainable business instead of focusing on monetization tools that only focus on getting clicks. The premium videos follow a style similar to Taiki’s free public videos.

[@Equad0r82]

The way he explained that web2 company they invested in clearly shows he know nothing about AI. And in general captain obvious types of thoughts : if you are wrong you will lose money, if you are right you will be in profit. Wtf

[@cryblood55]

Excellent stuff, Taiki! Wangarian is super smart. The article referenced in this pod is a must read.

[@studylondon5362]

[@MikeWoot65]

these talks are truly invaluable

[@gus514]

Great interview, I felt compelled to take notes and listen to some parts over a few times.

[@M0nkZer0]

This interview had a lot to unpack and think about for veteran traders and newbies alike 👍

[@cryptoi1072]

[@johnnyt7642]

Amazing talk.

[@samskie88]

Great!

[@RAJohnson713]

Great interview

[@JamisonHarris12]

Good one here

[@wayne8797]

I just don’t see how “ai” needs a token or being on chain, whether it’s LLM, compute units or whatever any of these projects are trying to do.

[@aqua123670]

you need to turn off your brain and just buy, that's the secret

[@sommi888]

It doesnt need a token, all these funds are in the "AI ico projects" and they need retailers to dump on

[@chadking9248]

thanks for fitting in the xmas alpha question bro

[@keithwalter286]

Your videos are always excellent, and I appreciate how you maintain a level-headed approach to market analysis while still keeping them engaging. Utilizing daily trade signals and insights from Cheryl Atonal, I’ve been able to capitalize on market fluctuations and increase my earnings via day trading. Day trading deserves greater attention due to its resilience against market unpredictability.

[@sarah30423]

It's unexpected to come across her name here. She understands every beginner’s intention and fix you to a trading course that matches your capacity

[@phongvo913]

Investing has proven to be an incredibly beneficial decision. My cryptocurrency profits continue to play a substantial role in growing my overall wealth, reducing my reliance on my salary

[@Brian23787]

The technical analysis expert I hold in the highest regard. Her risk management strategies steadily yield favorable results.

[@Nerdette213]

Over the years, I've been a part of numerous trading programs, sifting through a barrage of information. Yet, nothing has come close to the sheer clarity, depth, and precision of Cheryl’s insights. It's akin to finding a diamond in a coal mine.

[@zorothesigma]

thanks taiki

[@hei_zen]

"I think people will quickly forget about the negative aspects of ETH" People with below 6 fig portfolios won’t, when a single transaction costs them up to a percent of their portfolio value in fees alone or even more in a raging bull. I paid $70 for a staking txn this week. I have a bigger portfolio, but for someone with a $10K port for example, this would mean giving up 0.7% of his port, just for the fees 😄 It was ridiculous in 2021 and it’s absurd there is no fix in sight now over two years later.

[@lunacave]

The greatest suffering that ETH will experience is simply because that it is now proof of stake. Good luck with it.

[@LauraRochelle-ut1if]

SOL is great. but it is better to be early in project, like ICOs for max gain. That why I think the best time to get into Staxum is now!

[@GilbertRodriguez-yq1ui]

My picks for next 3 months period are INJ and FIL. But also, guys do not miss Staxum presale, is almost over.

[@xOGxAesop]

What was the A.I project he mentioned? Sahara?

[@MattKiebach]

BTC is good but it is better to be early in projects. Catch presale projects like Staxum for max gains

[@trading8]

22:30 IMX. Ronin, RON, RONIN. (Gaming) Prime. Ori (Orie?). Shrapnel.

[@ethwhale]

ETH rotation video maybe? 👀

[@KatieKamalaHaley-tu6fx]

Do not underestimate the power of getting in early. If you are not in Staxum now, you are lagging behind.

[@TeleportlabsETH]

39:57 ahh the good ol, new toys so not going to play with you anymore, but we know how toy story plays out.

[@kunalduttabeet]

Do a series on airdrop taiki!

[@momomo]

34:22 "eth is going to..."?

[@ScottMawhinnie]

For 3 years I´ve been trading, and it is not bad. But you can get so much more when early, like in private sale, like Staxum has now.

[@brandonc2839]

this is the best guest youve had on yet

[@lemurienconstricteur1745]

i thought he was talking about actual LSD bruhh

[@ddbs]

wen rug is the constant source of anxiety

[@milkshakeplease4696]

celsius selling a bunch of eth right now

[@ahwee87]

theheist

[@teeKayNW]

LMAO ETH TOO MUCH OF A SHITCOIN

[@TeleportlabsETH]

23:33 - "...There are basically only two gaming ecosystems". Brother doesn't know about Gala or is actively fading it.

[@andrewchong5823]

why the fake cringe accent

[@foodietraveler]

This was excellent! Great info - specific and broad.

[@RaheemGiggs]

My picks for next 3 months period are INJ and FIL. But also, guys do not miss Staxum presale, is almost over.
