From broke and jobless to founding an NFT marketplace. mintable_app founder Zach Burks shares his Web3 journey that began when Bitcoin was trading at $5.50. (Reporting via ezrareguerra)
Since then, Burks went on to keep on buying and trading crypto. At some point, the Mintable founder shared that he switched from trading BTC to accumulating Ether . “My goal was only to collect ETH and never sell until I can buy a mega yacht. I still haven’t cashed out,” he wrote.
Eventually, Burks said that he realized that he wanted to become a Solidity developer. He started learning, going on hackathons, testing contracts and working in the sector. By then, he noted that he became financially independent three years after he started. The NFT expert then moved to Thailand to build Mintable and, in 2017, missed out on an opportunity to claim a CryptoPunk. After that, he invested in Cryptokitties and fell in love with NFTs.
And that's when it happened, somehow, not purposefully, I feel in love with NFTs. I've only worked with NFTs since 2017 and continue to do so.— Zach Burks Fast forward to the present, the executive highlighted that the Mintable NFT marketplace is now worth hundreds of millions with a continuously growing team. Lastly, Burks gave some advice to others. “Take chances. Never sell your crypto. Learn to use your brain,” he tweeted.
