From Devastating Credit Card Debt to Crypto Mentor: The Kookoo Crypto TV Story
Table of Content

Before he was known as Kookoo Crypto TV, he was quietly drowning in debt. A young entrepreneur with big ambitions, he took a chance on fast income and nearly lost control of his finances. But then the pandemic hit, and along with it came an unexpected second chance: Web3.


Kookoo didn’t enter the space to build a brand. He entered to survive. At a time when lockdowns had shut down physical opportunities, he stumbled into a digital world full of strangers who didn’t need him to be an expert. They just needed him to be willing to learn. Through that process, he slowly found something he hadn’t had in a long time: direction.

Today, Kookoo Crypto TV is a known name in the local Web3 scene. But behind the livestreams and meme coins is a story built on belief, financial struggle, and a genuine desire to help others find their footing in a space that once helped him find his own.

A Lifeline, Not a Windfall

Before Web3, Kookoo made decisions that many young earners might relate to. He got his first credit card, trusted his instincts, and bet on quick success. But with no safety net, the debt piled up quickly.

“I thought I wouldn’t be able to pay my debts. I thought I’d be stuck paying interest for the rest of my life.”

Then the pandemic happened. Everything went online. And it was in that moment of stillness that he discovered early Web3 communities. These weren’t perfect systems, but they offered something practical: a way to earn, learn, and start over.

He didn’t make money overnight. He made it over time by paying attention, testing out opportunities, and sticking to his routine.

“It was a hopeless situation. But if you keep doing small steps, believing that you’ll be able to fix everything, then eventually the bigger results will come.”

From Lurker to Leader

Kookoo was shy at first. He didn’t know anyone in crypto, didn’t have a formal mentor, and didn’t think he could ask for help. But Discord chats made it easier to speak up without the pressure of being seen.

“You don’t need to show your face or introduce yourself. Just chat and ask questions. People will answer.”

That simple invitation changed everything. He started learning from others in the space. And not long after, he began helping others who were just like him.

The culture of paying it forward is one of the things that keeps him going. When asked how to approach someone in Web3, especially if you're nervous, he keeps it simple.

“Start by smiling—even online. Just be sincere and curious. That’s how conversations begin.”

He also reminds people that humility matters more than polish. Confidence grows through repetition, not perfection.

“There are no bad questions. That humility will open a lot of opportunities for you.”

Today, he speaks to rooms full of learners who see him not just as a content creator but as someone who understands the weight of starting from zero.

The Power of Belief

Kookoo’s journey is driven by belief, but not the kind found in inspirational slogans. For him, belief is about showing up when nothing around you is working.

“Belief is like a placard on a jeep. You see where you're going. If you lose belief, you lose direction.”

He says there were times when just getting out of bed felt difficult. But when you have something to hold onto, a sense that things can change, you move differently.

For Kookoo, belief wasn't just a mindset. It was a way of navigating financial pressure, emotional stress, and the uncertainty of a new industry.

Gratitude as Financial Strategy

Web3 taught him a lot about money. But instead of fixating on gains and trading strategies, Kookoo talks about gratitude. The act of being thankful, he says, keeps you from chasing too much and losing what you already have.

“If we’re not grateful, then we become greedy. We start to gamble. We get jealous of others and ruin our finances.”

Kookoo emphasizes this often during his talks with Web3 newbies. When people make quick money in crypto, they often feel the urge to spend it just as fast. Kookoo’s approach is different. He believes in growing income slowly and spending wisely.

“When you start to be grateful for small things, you’ll know how to handle the big ones.”

He adds that it’s not just about how much you earn, but how prepared you are to handle it. The worst thing that can happen, he says, is earning fast when you’re not mentally ready to manage it.

Paying It Forward

Kookoo Crypto TV isn’t just a personal brand. It’s a reflection of someone who got knocked down, found a ladder, and decided to hold it steady for the next person. His story isn’t about hype or lucky breaks. It’s about showing up when things feel impossible, asking questions when you’re unsure, and choosing progress over perfection.

In an industry where everyone is chasing the next big thing, Kookoo’s advice is something simpler: start small, keep going, and bring someone with you when you do.
