Alpha Researcher, Researcher Economy, Intellectual capital, 9NFTManiaAbstract
As the world quickly moves towards the metaverse and decentralised systems, a new type of leader called the Alpha Researcher is emerging. The expression came about because of the revolutionary work of Alpha researchers. It talks about people who have the intellectual rigour and technological foresight of traditional alpha leaders, as well as the strong, strategic, and resilient qualities that are usually associated with them. The Alpha Researcher is the head of the new Researcher Economy, where knowledge, digital assets, and innovative ideas are the keys to power and success.
