Interview with Octopus Longterm pool manager
Friends, we continue the series of interviews with managers of our fund’s pools. Today we will ask questions to Ko Ko, the manager of Octopus Longterm. You can invest in him directly through the CEO of Octopus Crypto Capital — t.me/OctopusCC_Finansist.
Max: Hi, are you ready to answer some questions?
Ko Ko: Hi! Yes, of course, we can start.
Max: First, tell me about yourself, your professional experience.
Ko Ko: As for my profession, I’m an economist by education. I lived in USA for many years, working in banking and real estate. I started my activities in the cryptocurrency market in 2019.
Max: In 2019, the crypto market was not the most active. How did it happen that you came into the industry at that time?
Ko Ko: Actually, I wanted to enter the market back in 2017, but I couldn’t get my hands on it for a long time. Before that I traded on the stock market and FOREX, so I figured out what was going on here quite quickly. My education and work experience also helped.
Max: Let’s move on to more specific topics concerning the activity of Octopus Longterm. One of the activities of the pool is investing in tokens at the presale stage. How does it work, what are the risks and how is it supposed to work in this direction?
Ko Ko: I, as the manager of the Octopus Longterm pool, am looking for interesting projects at early stages of development and seek allocation at closed stages of funding, which allows to buy tokens of the project at the most favorable price. Of course, there are risks. This concerns the possibility of a drop in the price of a token when it goes on the exchange and the insolvency of the project itself. Here we need help from risk management, diversification, and a proper selection of objects for investment.
Max: What about pharming? It is a relatively new way to earn on crypto. What profitability can it provide now?
Ko Ko: Farming is a very risky, but at the same time profitable option for earning on crypto. For example, you can make 1 to 5% a day farming tokens, but then their price will fall by 70%. As a result, in the aggregate, there can be a loss. There is no risk only in farming stabelcoins. By the way, farcicals are coming out now on Solana and Matic. They have high api on them.
Max: What principle you use when choosing projects for investment?
Ko Ko: On the principle of tokenomics, recommendations, popularity, community of the project. There are a large number of factors that are evaluated when making decisions.
Max: What are Octopus Longterm’s plans in the short term?
Ko Ko: The plans for the pool are as follows. First, to make money by investing in the best projects at the private placement stage. Second, remove the X’s, re-invest in new projects. Then repeat the algorithm for one year, until the end of the lockup period. We plan to pay dividends in fall.
Max: One last question. Why would the customers choose your pool and you as a manager?
Ko Ko: Octopus Longterm is a live pool that invests in new projects. All of the pool’s investees have great growth potential. Now everyone knows what tokenseals are. With Octopus Longterm you can enter ten different projects with only $500. Who else will offer such a unique opportunity?
Max: Well, thanks for your answers. It was very interesting to talk to you. Thank you!
Ko Ko: Thank you!
