I had a fairly fascinating visitor on the CoinJournal podcast this week.
A serial entrepreneur, Corey Wilton tells me his story. A child from the Gold Coast in Australia, he didn’t get into University. Today, he runs a metaverse firm, Mirai Labs, out of Vietnam with 75 staff, and has some nice tales from the hysteria of the previous few years.
Honesty could be troublesome to search out in crypto, however Corey has it. Adept at discussing the darkish facet of crypto – the pump and dumps, the scams, and numerous different points – he additionally delved into his errors and the hurdles he confronted, together with a failed firm impressed by Dollar Shave Club.
For entrepreneurs within the house – or certainly, for entrepreneurs exterior the house, too – that is value a hear (when you excuse my bias). There are many classes Corey has picked up regardless of his younger age, and they’re fascinating to listen to him discuss by means of.
Of course we additionally chat about blockchain gaming and crypto on the whole. The sector has clearly pulled again massively, and we focus on this new local weather and how the simple positive factors of the bull market are lengthy gone.
I notably loved the blunt evaluation of a number of initiatives that merely attempt tokenise something, no matter use instances. The bull market is insane to look again on now, however Corey was proper within the thick of it and has some riveting tales to inform.
Despite launching Pegaxy, the metaverse racing recreation, solely a 12 months in the past, it shortly shot as much as 500,000 customers earlier than the bear market hit.
Corey is now intent on constructing, enhancing their still-developing recreation and drawing on all the things he has discovered to date. This was a enjoyable one.
