Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 4

Internet Broadcasting.

With a low barrier to entry and immediate communication with viewers as its strengths, this broadcasting has risen to become an icon of the current era, overshadowing the dominance of TV.

Many have already achieved stardom through internet broadcasting.

Even now, countless individuals are knocking on the door of broadcasting, dreaming of a brilliant future.

However, the challenges of internet broadcasting are also evident.

Due to the low entry barrier, countless broadcasters have emerged, while only a very few are selected by viewers.

Ultimately, most who are not chosen face the bitter taste of failure and exit in solitude.

To avoid such failures, one needs to have their own distinct characteristics.

Successful broadcasters each have unique traits, but they can be broadly categorized into three types.

The first type is the Expert type.

This is a broadcast led by someone with exceptional knowledge in a specific field, such as professional gamers or specialists.

Since they need to possess top-tier skills, this position is rare and can expect consistent demand.

The second type is the Comedian type.

These are broadcasters who remain true to the essence of entertainment.

Most game broadcasters, excluding professional gamers, and BJ specializing in casual streaming fall into this category.

Such broadcasters often struggle to attract initial viewers, but they can expect a flow of new viewers through word of mouth.

The third type is the Communicative type.

Broadcasters in this category utilize communication with their viewers as their main content, often conducting programs that listen to and empathize with viewers’ stories, such as relationship advice or counseling.

Virtual YouTubers and female streamers can be classified here.

Communicative broadcasts often prefer a small, select group of viewers rather than a large audience.

This allows them to build a loyal following that will consistently watch even if they later pursue different content.

Each broadcast type has its own distinct characteristics, but the choice I had from the beginning was predetermined.

“Of course, I am the Expert type.”

It was time to show my gaming skills.

– You lost –

Allied: Report our mid please

Enemy: This is really unpleasant…

It is uncommon for allies and enemies to unite to attack one person.

Normally, I would also join them in targeting a specific individual, but…

Miju doesn’t speak (0/10/2)

Unfortunately, I was the target.

I had my own reasons.

The first mistake was not knowing that broadcasting software puts a significant strain on my computer, and the second mistake was choosing the mid lane and picking the most glamorous champion to showcase the image of a good player.

“Why isn’t my character moving?”

But the result was a disaster.

No matter how good your physical skills are, you cannot win with a champion that stops every five seconds.

“I think there’s a problem with my computer. I apologize to my teammates, and I will stop playing League of Legends for today.”

Mid: I’m sorry. It wasn’t intentional.

Jungle: If it wasn’t intentional, then xxxx is xxxx…

I end the game, leaving the excited allies in the lobby.

“My computer’s performance suddenly dropped today. Do you have any recommended games?”

…

I ask the viewers, but there is no response.

This is understandable because there are only two viewers currently.

One is a bot and the other is my phone.

“Sigh, what a waste. I wouldn’t watch this kind of broadcast either.”

With games lagging and a microphone picking up noise, it would be hard to find anyone willing to spend time on such an old broadcast when there are other broadcasts supporting 4K.

“I need to buy a computer and a microphone first.”

Realizing the importance of equipment, I enter a sales site, and various types of computers greet me.

“They even sell computers specifically for broadcasting.”

However, those computers start at least at 2.5 million won while my balance is only 980,000 won.

It was a heartbreaking price that I couldn’t afford even with a half-price sale.

“Seriously, it’s so d*mn expensive…”

But before I could lament, a solution flickered through my mind.

If I have no money, then I must make money.

“I’m going to start flipping some funds today!”

I begin the money duplication.

Entering a cryptocurrency exchange, countless coins welcomed me.

In this world where hundreds of new coins are created every day, I had my own know-how for selecting coins.

I accessed my favorite site on my mobile phone.

This coin is going to crash (1)

Let’s see it crash~ If it dies, that’s it~ (1)

I won’t long again. (3)

Cohong made 8,000 this year. (12)

As always, the crazy people welcomed me.

[Account showing 8,000 won]

I made 8,000 won, d*mn it.

– Wow, you’re a pro.

– Show me the proof.

– You didn’t lose money? You’re banned from Coin Gallery.

– Armband!!!! Get rid of the deceptive posts!!!

________________________

Most posts are just worthless trash, but I have spent years rolling around on this site.

There was a specific way to find useful information.

——

Wow, what about Udon Coin?

Breaking News: Udon Coin collaborates with all udon restaurants nationwide ㄷㄷ

d*mn, that udon guy sold everything and now it’s soaring.

——

I search for the coins that are mainly mentioned on the exchange.

-Udon Coin: 3,700 (+200%)

(A graph that seems to pierce the sky)

Coins that are commonly mentioned usually have a reason.

Most cases involve a sudden rise or fall, and such coins generally exhibit great volatility.

“Wow~ what a spectacle.”

A coin that has achieved an amazing rise today.

However, anyone betting on that rise is nothing but a beginner.

A 200% increase in a day is like a building without rebar.

While it can rise swiftly, once it begins to crumble, it all falls apart.

– Sell order has been executed. –

“I feel like it’s starting to wobble, it’s time to go.”

Balance Status

– Total Assets: 980,000

– Sell Amount: 500,000

– Profit: 0

– Profit Rate: 0

Lightly use 10 times leverage to start trading.

‘Since it rose by 200%, can’t it drop by 200% too?’

With such absurd thoughts, I anxiously stare at the chart.

A fierce battle between long and short trades was underway at the top level.

“Please… let all the long traders lose their money.”

The chart began to falter, perhaps having heard my prayers.

“That’s right! Udon Coin is worthless; those who bought it are the ones who are foolish!”

As soon as the longs lost their battle, the building collapsed.

The sell-offs from those betting on the rise accelerated the decline.

“Ahahaha, long traders, taste the bitter end of my mighty red candle!”

– You have closed the sell order. –

Balance Status

– Total Assets: 1,580,000

– Purchase Amount: 500,000

– Profit: +600,000

– Profit Rate: +120%

When the drop had progressed by about 10%, I wrapped up the short contract.

I could aim for a bigger drop, but something felt off.

– Buy order has been executed. –

Switching to long trades, the coin began to regain strength.

-Udon Coin: 3,353 (+181%)

(A chart that drops and then rebounds)

“Unbelievers, long traders, get lost. Can’t you trust the great Udon Coin?”

Balance Status

– Total Assets: 1,790,000

– Purchase Amount: 700,000

– Profit: +210,000

– Profit Rate: +30%

I begin to lecture the foolish ones who missed the chance to duplicate their funds, while checking my account.

My balance had doubled within just 30 minutes.

“This is me.”

– CoinLove has donated 1,000 won.

[Wow, your switching timing is amazing. How many years have you been in crypto?]

At that moment, a sudden male voice echoed.

“Oh d*mn, you scared me.”

It was a donation message from the broadcasting platform I had forgotten.

– Are you a woman? Do women also invest in coins?

– That person is paying for insults, hahaha.

– Wow, eating through both ends. Truly impressive.

“Uh… what are you all?”

– Just viewers.

– No reaction until you get a donation, huh? Hahaha.

– Are you a woman? Do you have big br*asts?

Surprised by the activated chat room, I checked the viewer count, and it had risen from only 2 to 12.

“First of all… thank you for the 1,000 won donation. I’m the new streamer, Miyoo Kim, and it seems like I’ve been into crypto for about 3 years. Nice to meet you all!”

– Are you a woman?

– After being all boastful, pretending to be normal is dizzying…

Desperately donning a mask of politeness, I quickly sensed the discomfort in the viewers’ responses.

I realized I had misstepped in my first interaction.

– Miju Love has donated 100,000 won.

[Can you shout ‘I love you’?]

– Wow, what’s this?

– I can see it well ㄷㄷ

– 100,000 won from Hacco Room?

At that moment, a sudden donation of 100,000 won burst forth.

It came from the first viewer, whom I had assumed was a bot.

“Oh wow, Miju Love donated 100,000 won! Thank you so much. Is there any specific reaction you’d like?”

Momentarily shocked by the large sum, I quickly thought that I mustn’t miss this opportunity.

Expressing my desire not to return to the lonely broadcast I had just experienced.

– Let’s turn on the cam first.

– If you get 100,000 won in Hacco Room, you should fully commit! ㅇㅇ;;

– Miju Love has donated 100,000 won.

[Can you shout ‘I love you’ for me?]

– What a sweet bull…

– Getting ‘I love you’ from a no-cam broadcast with 100,000 won? What a joke.

– So tone-deaf…

“Miju Love, another donation of 100,000 won! Thank you so much.”

Another donation came in.

I had earned 200,000 won in an instant under the condition that I just shout “I love you.”

It was a simple condition, but my mind began to hit the brakes.

‘Did I just become a woman and shout out for a guy? This doesn’t feel right, does it?’

But it’s 200,000 won?

‘Then I guess I have to shout it.’

“Lo, lo, I love you!”

– Your voice is too cracked;;

– Oh my god, are you insane?

– Does this house do shouting as a donation reaction?

Despite the compromise, a metallic sound escaped, and as a result, my microphone, which was not used to high volumes, responded with noise.

“Ah… I apologize. I’m using a poor-quality microphone, so… I’m planning to buy a new computer and microphone with the money I earned today!”

– Miju Love has donated 100,000 won.

[Shall I send it to you?]

Once again, a donation of 100,000 won came in.

As the donations continued to pour in, my joy was short-lived as I checked the chat room for ominous predictions.

– Ah, should I do it too?

– The hints are getting worse.

– Just date and end it.

– You should probably broadcast together with that guy.

Slowly, viewers began to voice their displeasure in the chat, just as I had feared.

The emergence of a named viewer, the first culprit for a Hacco broadcaster’s downfall, was here.
