Who is Mr. Million?

‍

Mr. Million is a celebrated trader and social media influencer who has dominated global trading competitions since 2020. Under his online alias, Maeuknam, he has garnered over 230,000 YouTube subscribers and earned the reputation of being an honest and transparent voice in the trading community. Ahn has consistently ranked among the top YouTuber influencers in Northeast Asia, with a staggering $10 billion in monthly trading volume.

His achievements include multiple first-place finishes in prestigious trading competitions and an impressive record of achieving 12,300% returns. As an OKX ambassador, Ahn actively engages with global audiences, introducing them to OKX’s platform while also teaching them how to trade and invest responsibly.

Building a Trusted Brand in Crypto

When asked about his journey, Ahn emphasized honesty and transparency as the cornerstones of his brand. In a market often plagued by scams and misinformation, Ahn has built trust by sharing both his profits and losses with his audience.

‍

“Being honest and showing transparency in every YouTube video helped me gain credibility,”

‍

Ahn explained.

‍

His straightforward approach to chart analysis and a focus on consistent, small profits through compound interest have also contributed to his success.

‍

Challenges and Global Expansion

Ahn candidly shared the challenges he faces as he expands his reach beyond the Northeast Asian market. Recently, he launched an English-language YouTube channel, Mr. Million, to share his insights with a global audience. Despite the high-quality content, Ahn noted that marketing to international viewers has been a learning curve. However, he remains optimistic about introducing his educational content to new regions, including the Philippines.

Insights from the Alpha Trader’s Summit

During the Alpha Trader’s Summit, Ahn highlighted three key takeaways:

• The growing interest in crypto markets across Southeast Asia.
• The importance of diversifying beyond Bitcoin to explore memecoins and Web3 projects.
• The joy of connecting with his global fans and seeing their enthusiasm for crypto trading.

Ahn also shared his excitement about OKX’s future. After visiting their headquarters in Singapore, he praised the team’s commitment, calling them “the most passionate people I’ve met in crypto.” He also expressed confidence in OKX’s continued growth as one of the world’s top crypto exchanges.

The Role of Education in Crypto

Ahn and Reyes found common ground in their shared passion for education. Ahn stressed that education is critical in shaping the future of crypto and blockchain, comparing it to the formal education systems students dedicate years to. He lamented that education in the crypto space is often undervalued but highlighted the tangible impact of his YouTube content, noting that over 50% of his followers who participate in trading competitions have consistently turned a profit.

“Education is everything,”

‍

Ahn stated.

‍

“I want to empower traders globally with the knowledge and strategies they need to succeed.”

‍

Aspirations for the Future

Ahn aspires to make Mr. Million a global hub for trading education, helping traders worldwide achieve better results. With statistics showing that less than 8% of individual traders succeed in Korea—and less than 0.1% profit in futures trading—Ahn aims to improve these numbers through his content. His ultimate goal is to replicate the success of his Korean audience on a global scale, enabling traders everywhere to “make money together.”

A Welcome to the Philippines

The interview concluded with Ahn expressing his enthusiasm for engaging with the Philippine crypto community. With Bitskwela’s mission to educate Filipinos on trading and blockchain fundamentals, Reyes assured Ahn of their support in introducing OKX and his educational content to the country. Both looked forward to working together, empowering traders worldwide.
