POW with Loki

Loki is the Co-founder of Dreamzuki NFT a project that is inspired by Azuki.

 What were you doing before Web3?

I work full-time in finance and I’m in web3 part-time. I’ve been into crypto since around 2015 but I took a break around 2017 and re-entered the crypto market just before the bull in 2021.

 How did you get into Web3?

I suppose being into crypto is like a gateway drug into getting into NFTs The difference between now and 2017 is that I told myself I won’t leave the space and rather try to make something of myself in it.

 What was your first crypto or NFT project?

ETH was the first crypto I ever bought, and I honestly can’t remember what my first NFT was but I know it wasn’t on ETH

 How would you explain what you do to someone outside of Web3?

I don’t

 Which creator or thought leader do you enjoy learning from?

There are a lot of creators and smart people out there so I can’t really pick out one, but the topics that interest me especially are macroeconomic analysis and the impact on crypto markets, art and design, business and analysis and of course the shitposters. Can’t forget those people

 What is the biggest highlight of your career so far?

Not leaving the space

 What tech or crypto trend are you watching this year?

ETH as a potential deflationary asset

 What advice would you give someone starting out in Web3?

Don’t trust influencers

 If you could do a TED talk on any topic, what would it be?

The topic would probably be “Giving a TED Talk is a Personal Nightmare of Mine Because I’m Afraid of Public Speaking But Here I Am So Let’s Make the Best of It”.

 What is the one thing you would bring if you were stuck on a deserted Island?

This is a tough one. Perhaps a magic lamp with a genie that let’s me wish for more wishes. Is that a fair answer?

POW stands for “Proof of Work.” It is a new feature article series in The Mega Maxi to highlight the savviest builders in the Web3 space.
