HackerNoon's Altcoin Champion of 2021
https://noonies.tech/award/2021-hackernoons-altcoin-champion-of-2021
As someone in the Blockchain industry, I believe that the most exciting technology of the present is Defi & NFTs because of the transparency and applicability in all aspects of life. Learn more about my thoughts and opinions on Defi & NFTs and my journey in the tech industry via the interview below.
1. What do you do, and why do you do it? (tell us your story)
I am passionate about simple solutions to bring crypto closer to life. Crypto products like Defi or NFTs really have great potential that we need to exploit to apply it more in daily life. Creating products to connect NFTs, Metaverse, Defi will be a long-term strategy of mine.
2. Tell us more about the things you create / write / manage / build!
For the past 4 years, we have been focusing on building an e-commerce platform with an increasing number of products every year, such as digital products, physical products, or NFTs products.
In addition, we have integrated Defi payment into the system, making the payment processing process much faster and more transparent than the traditional payment systems of Visa or Mastercard. We have been and continue to expand the connection of other forms of smart payments as well as researching the integration of the Metaverse into our system.
3. How did you end up on your current career path? Do you like it?
I really want to build a bridge to help the crypto world can be closer to everyday life. E-commerce and SMEs will benefit more from the solutions that blockchain offers.
4. What tech are you most excited or passionate about right now and why?
Currently, I am very interested in learning about Metaverse and looking forward to applying it to our e-commerce projects.
5. What tech are you most worried about right now and why?
The tech that I'm worried about right now is Defi lending. Because existing vulnerabilities can be exploited, leading to possible consumer harm. I believe the vulnerabilities of Lending systems will be improved soon.
6. If we gave you 10 million dollars to invest in something today, what would you invest in and why?
I will definitely invest in Bitcoin, ETH, and UQC. Because Bitcoin will be the future electronic gold. It will help protect the asset's value from inflation, and its price will increase sharply in the future. ETH will be the Defi platform used frequently by banks, institutions, and businesses; it will be an integral part of the future of finance. I will also invest in Uquid Coin. It is the lifeblood of our project, and we always have a long-term belief in the long-term growth of the UQC token.
7. What are you currently learning?
I am learning how to operate a smart purchasing system under the combination of Metaverse with Blockchain. Together with other large enterprises that are currently focusing on this development, we cannot ignore this development. It will really have rapid changes like the 5G technology that countries are implementing.
8. What’s the best advice you’ve ever given someone?
Young people who have many ambitions and ideas, please act as soon as possible. Previously, to start a project, large companies had to spend a lot of money to initially invest in development.
Today, the development of technology is giving all of us more opportunities. Any small idea can be implemented on a large scale in a short time.
9. What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
I learned a lot from my friends. A friend of mine recently advised me to look into Metaverse; it's not just because Facebook started the movement about it, but actually, it's like 5G technology, it's just in the corner.
