Q. What was the first coin you bought?
To be honest, I didn't buy it but my husband bought it for me a couple years back. Most recently ETH.
Q. If you were gifted $1k, what coin or NFT would you be buying more of?
I'd probably buy some ETH. I'm still learning this entire space so I can't say I'd be buying the right one but then again all of this space is changing so quickly, so now I'd look at ETH
Q. Any new crypto or NFT projects or artists you are buying more of or watching out for?
I love the work that WOW Pixes is doing definitely worth checking out. Also Angel Alliance and what their building.
Q. What is a piece of advice you would like to give to others that are just starting out? A few pieces I'd want to share:
1. Don't follow the hype - like with any new space there's always over celebriticism of a space, it's important and necessary for the growth of the space but always do your own research and test the waters first before diving in.
2. Though not on Web3 - worth reading Howard Marks books - The Most Important Thing as one starts on the investment journey.
3.Invest in projects or brands that you have a sense of connection in or belief in.
Q. Favorite influencer that we should follow?
I have too many but have been following BrownBaddiesNFT and love what they stand for and see a lot of potential - https://www.brownbaddies.xyz/
Q. Is anything else happening with your own project that our community should know about?
We've just launched a new community in APAC for the Women+ community in Web3, called UNTAM3D. We exist to decode the world of web3 for Women+ in APAC, enabling their growth, igniting their potential and elevating their success. If anyone is interested in collaborating, connecting with us and or just hearing more - feel free to join us on any of the below or reach out to me!
