Coach Miranda Miner shares his journey of resilience—both in the volatile world of cryptocurrency and the unpredictable landscape of online criticism. From surviving a life-threatening encounter to navigating the highs and lows of the crypto market and social media backlash, he reveals how mastering emotional discipline, choosing battles wisely, and staying true to one’s purpose can lead to long-term success. Through personal stories and hard-earned lessons, this talk offers strategies for thriving amid uncertainty, whether in trading, leadership, or public life. Arlone Abello, or “Coach Miranda Miner,” founded the Web3 learning platforms Elite University and FEASTGold to share valuable trading techniques, expert advice, and the latest news in the crypto world with more Filipinos. In 2022, his firm GMMG also launched “CrypTalk: University Caravan,” a free educational initiative that aims to equip students with basic knowledge of blockchain technology. The team has already visited 12 Philippine universities and recently engaged with students and faculty members of the Junior Confederation of Finance Associations (JCFA) and the National University’s (NU’s) Finance Executives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
