Interview with Sslainy Part 9 Our legendary guest - @Samooves 🐧 ━━━━━━━━━━━🎙 1. What did you do before crypto? - Before crypto, I was building social media accounts. I actually started my crypto journey in 2021, near the top of that market cycle. Before that, I was creating shuffle dance content on TikTok and Instagram. I grew my TikTok to around 40,000 followers and my Instagram to 15,000, with several videos reaching over a million views and one hitting more than 10 million. It was a lot of fun, but I never really made any money from it. Once the pandemic was over, people's interests shifted, my views dropped significantly, and I also started going out and enjoying life more, so I gradually stopped posting. Around that time, one of my friends introduced me to crypto, and that's where my journey really began. 2. Do you remember your first profit, and what project was it? - My first real profit was actually from a Bitcoin perpetual trade. I put in around $1,000 using about 10x leverage, and the position grew to roughly $3,000. I took the profit, which was the smart part, but then I made the mistake of putting it into Sorare. At the time, the NFT hype was already fading, but I believed in the project long term. Eventually I invested around $5,000 into Sorare, and over time the value dropped to roughly $1,000 after several updates that significantly hurt the ecosystem. It was an expensive lesson, but probably one of the most valuable ones I've had in crypto. 3. What was your biggest profit and on what? - My biggest unrealized profit was also on a perpetual trade. I turned roughly $300 into around $5,000 using leverage. Like a lot of people in crypto, I got greedy. I didn't take profits because I thought it would keep going higher, and eventually the position got liquidated. Another memorable one was Football.Fun. I invested around $500, and my portfolio grew to about $5,000. Again, I believed in the project long term instead of taking profits, and eventually it came all the way back down. Those experiences taught me lots of lessons. 4. What inspired you to start Twitter? - I joined X in 2023, originally because of Sorare. The goal wasn't to become an influencer. I simply wanted to document my journey. I shared my experiences playing Sorare, Royaltiz, StocksFC, Football.Fun and also MFL, which is still the Web3 football game I enjoy the most today. I've always liked building in public and showing both the wins and the losses. In fact, most of my crypto journey has been learning from mistakes rather than celebrating successes, and I think that's one of the reasons people relate to my content. 5. How do you see CT in the future? - I'm still very bullish on Crypto Twitter. Personally, it's already changed my life. Over the last five or six months, I've earned more than €2,500 through brand deals, and it's the first time I've been able to make meaningful income from content creation. That said, I think the industry still has a long way to go. There are too many projects with no real utility, too many copy-and-paste narratives, and too much bullshit. I'd love to see more products solving real problems instead of simply chasing the next trend. As for Crypto Twitter itself, I think it will continue to be one of the best places to build a personal brand and connect directly with founders, creators, and communities. That's exactly why I enjoy being here every day. 🐧 ━━━━━━━━━━━🎙 Thank you very much to Samooves for participating I'm very glad that he agreed to be my guest
