BY virtue of his popularity among netizens, Coach Marvin Favis, the country's leading crypto influencer, has developed an effective way to get his message across and gain precious traction and valuable trust. The key to his success is not something you haven't heard before, but it's certainly one you'd believe in, especially if coming from someone like Favis, who has made a name for himself in crypto trading.
“My secret is people. I think they love me because I could explain complicated things like crypto in layman's terms. Something that's very easy for anyone to understand,” Favis said.
Crypto or cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency secured by cryptography, which makes it almost impossible to counterfeit. This new platform for monetary transactions promises to streamline the existing financial architecture and make financial deals faster and cheaper. Favis explains these things further in his social media accounts.
“I treat people as my students and family. We grow together; go through ups and downs as one. We are a family on my channel,” said Favis, emphasizing on the need to see through people. “I give all the information I could gather, and we learn together. This is my passion, and they feel it. I guess, this way, I make them feel comfortable about something that appears intimidating at first, and draw them in.”
Favis' main motivation stems from his goal to contribute to the betterment of society by sharing his knowledge about crypto and blockchain technology. He practically introduced crypto trading to many Filipinos.
He's also been going around the world, visiting key cities like Dubai and high-tech city states like Singapore, to spread the gospel that crypto is the future of money. He has rubbed elbows with crypto billionaires for a very good reason — to gather the latest trends in crypto space and share it with his fellowmen.
“Crypto attracted and captured my attention because of its possibility to help the community through low rates in transferring money,” Favis explained. “I treat bitcoin as digital gold whose payoff would come from significant earnings in the future and how the technology of crypto, specifically blockchain technology, is reshaping for the better all aspects of the finance industry including social financing and gaming.”
For him, describing crypto to a newbie is like comparing the technology to gold. He frames his discussion on how money has evolved from barter to gold to physical money and now, into digital cash like credit cards and GCash.
It's a great plus that Favis has developed a solid reputation among the cool people he meets along the way. He has celebrity friends and connects himself regularly with other influencers around the world who are also into crypto trading and NFTS.
“More and more people are now diving into crypto because of its beauty and the big returns in future earnings,” Favis shared. “Aside from that, the technology is not only for crypto holders, but also for creative people like painters, singers and others into the arts.”
Coach Marvin Favis is a celebrity himself, who has embraced the new digital world with all its benefits and risks. He's one who definitely thinks before he clicks.
He knows what he's doing, and we should pay heed.
