Seoul, 9/13 (Cryptopolitan) - It's a rainy and gray 9th month in Seoul, and after South Korea's Blockchain Week, the city is back to its normal life.
most of the participants have already packed their bags and left for Singapore for Token2049, but we are still here and there is 1 reason for that: Fireant. The legendary and anonymous South Korean cryptocurrency leader (KOL) agreed to meet with us at his downtown office.
He's known for his openness, and even when we enter his personal space, there's an eerie feeling that we're entering a world we've never seen before.
Fireant is one of the oldest and most respected people in South Korea's crypto community. 1 No one knows who he really is, but everyone knows him. He keeps a low profile, but his influence is undeniable.
We're going to talk to him today about everything. From how he got started to what defines his vision for the future of #cryptocurrencies . Also ask about the ecosystem he likes the most.
I started trading cryptocurrencies in 2016 thanks to my father, Fireant says without hesitation. My father was the first to invest in cryptocurrencies, but my mother was worried. She asked me to talk my father out of investing, and I started to seriously research the topic.
This was the beginning of a journey that turned Fireant from a curious observer into one of South Korea's most trusted cryptographers. 1
He didn't start his journey like most of us, by learning about exchanges, watching YouTube videos, or profiting from bitcoin in 2021.
No, Feilant went directly to the source. "I studied the technical documentation on bitcoin and Efirium in detail, he says.
When I read those documents, I realized that cryptocurrencies make sense. When we asked about his name, Fireant explained that Korean private investors are often referred to as ali. "A friend of mine once said I'm like a fire ant because I'm always on the move, always in the market.
And the rest is history. The name has been forgotten.
