He is the CEO of Global Miranda Miner Group that focuses on helping and enabling communities to develop trading skills.

Understand his journey and philosophies that enabled him to attain his success as a mentor for crypto traders.

Can you give us a background of what you do as CEO of GMMG and Founding Chairman of IMPACT?

As the CEO of Global Miranda Miner Group, which is a SEC-registered company, my direction is to set the strategy of the company. I do have employees who are in charge of marketing operations, mentoring, finances and administration. Basically, our strategy focuses on helping and enabling our community to have the necessary trading skill sets, which is going to help them control their losses as beginners in cryptocurrency trading. The cryptocurrency industry is a very massive industry that can potentially confuse, if not lose, traders in the process. So, from a journey perspective, we wanted to be able to guide them and give them a roadmap on how to navigate this particular industry specific to trading in an organized and structured manner.

The focus of the Global Miranda Manor Group, aside from our passion and purpose of creating a roadmap for cryptocurrency traders, is also to give back to our community. We have been doing multiple tree-planting activities together with our partners, and we have been reaching out to many less fortunate communities and organizations. We repurposed some of our profits and extended them as our blessing. We're very happy and, at the same time, fortunate to have what we call our #cultureofmalasakit extended to these communities, and we would like to continue to do this together with some of our trading partners and sponsors.

As the founding chairman of the Innovative Movement of the Philippine Association of Cryptocurrency Traders, my role is to be able to set the direction together with our co-founders on our strategy, particularly on education across the Philippines, through our initiative, CrypTalk. CrypTalk is a national campaign to educate around the Philippines.

We travel to Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. We visit these far-flung schools in the Philippines, as far as the Bohol NorthernStar College in the northernmost part of Bohol province, Tagum City in Davao, and Daet and Naga in Camarines Sur. So the distance is not an issue for us, and we would like to be able to use our human capital, our trading capital, and our knowledge about cryptocurrency trading and blockchain with our partners such as Bitskwela, the community of Tito Vlogs, King & Graido Law, FeastGold and GMMG. We want to become a channel of their education for them to be able to avoid scams and get that roadmap and guidance on how to navigate this very interesting world of cryptocurrency and blockchain.

What made you interested in cryptocurrency trading?

I have been a trader in the stock market since 2016. There are many solutions that cryptocurrency trading offers today, which obviously are not available in the stock market. Number one is liquidity. We're seeing an egress or an exit of volume and funds from the stock market to a more liquid market such as forex and cryptocurrency. Number two, there's no holiday in cryptocurrency trading. There are no weekends, and that causes gaps in trading when you are in a non-crypto market world. So those liquidity timing and obviously the holidays, and obviously, even on a stock market, you have your stock market breaks at 03:30 p.m, However, in crypto, you have 24/7 trading operations.

From a technology perspective, you have a lot of opportunities to trade because you have tools and technology like stop, limit, and limit orders, which can help you strategically enter your positions in a 24/7 market. These are very important aspects for me from a trading perspective. That's the reason why I've entered cryptocurrency trading.I used to be a vice president and global director for a firm supporting Google operations. Prior to that, I was a senior director of operations for a Canadian telecommunications company. I am very much a technology native, and I fell in love with the use cases of blockchain and how it obviously solves problems in the community. Therefore, I think it's a marriage between my love for technology and my love for trading. And that's the reason why I'm very happy to enter cryptocurrency trading.

How is working/building in the crypto space different from other industries?

There are three reasons.

Number one, it's obviously something new. It's a novel industry. Therefore, there are no set rules, guidelines and processes in place. 

Number two, it's quite interesting because I love to navigate ambiguities, and that's one of my skill sets as an executive. Therefore, I think I fell in love with the industry, and it's easier to navigate. There is no set of rules yet, so it's obvious you're the one setting up the rules and setting up the infrastructure to be able to connect with people who are like-minded.

Number three, the cryptocurrency industry, since it's very new, there's a lot of potential for scams and security issues. Therefore, you always take things with the grain of salt in building connections and relationships in the industry. You would like to really build your circle, you grow that circle, and nourish that circle, that community. There's always going to be a lot of people who will come and go in the industry. So it's important that you are aware of how to navigate this industry with your connections in the right community.

What’s your proudest achievement in being a trading coach?

I have been able to duplicate myself and create awesome mentors in my community. Today, I have around 11 mentors who teach my system and, at the same time, provide a safe space for them and also build the community with thousands of testimonials that the system is working. Having this community who tells your story and who narrates your story is one of my greatest achievements.

If there’s something you would like to change in your journey, what would it be?

If there's one thing I would like to change in my journey, it would potentially be that I should have discovered cryptocurrency as early as its heyday or its debut days around 2010-2011. I still believe that I came in not late, I still believe that I could have been one of the OGs in the industry. But nevertheless, it is just one of those things that I would have changed in my career if I were given a chance to go back.

What’s the biggest problem that you think cryptocurrencies can solve?

I believe one of the most significant problems we can address in the cryptocurrency industry today is leveraging blockchain technology for elections. The potential here is immense, and it represents a critical intersection where we can demonstrate the practical benefits of blockchain to governments. Implementing blockchain in elections could serve as a prime example of how this technology can enhance transparency, security, and scalability. By ensuring that everyone who is eligible can vote, we can significantly increase participation and trust in the electoral process.

This use case could drive widespread adoption of blockchain among the general population. While the current focus may not be on election automation, I think governments should consider blockchain as a vital component of any future election automation efforts. This could transform the way elections are conducted, ensuring a more transparent and secure process that benefits all stakeholders.

What’s your BTC price prediction in 2030?

I would say that it would not be below $200,000 each for bitcoin. I'm very bullish on bitcoin, obviously. There is a lot of evidence of institutional and bank adoption today. Even the SEC has, in a way, regulated and legalized bitcoin by creating a spot bitcoin ETF. With banks and governments building a bridge for bitcoin to penetrate traditional finance through spot bitcoin ETFs, it is becoming an accepted
