The Money Panel session, moderated by Violet Benson, brought together three speakers from diverse corners of the digital economy to share their journeys, income models, and practical advice on sourcing opportunities in today’s digital world.
The panel had Bellick Kruz, a content marketer and influencer, Miracle Nonso known as Oxnonso on X, a 3D artist and Freedom Tega (also known as Tim), a full-time forex trader.
Tega on Forex Trading: Skill Over Capital
Kicking off the conversation, Tega spoke about the forex market as a low entry but highly skill driven income source. According to him, one of the biggest misconceptions is that you need a lot of money to start. “What matters more than capital is your ability to manage risk and read the market,” he said.
Tega shared that his trading strategy involves risking a defined amount to potentially earn five times more. However, he emphasized that beginners should not jump in blindly. Instead, he encouraged aspiring traders to start with demo accounts. “Demo accounts are a safe way to learn market movements without losing money. You test your strategy, learn discipline, and understand the tools before going live.”
His insights highlighted that in forex, consistent practice, risk management, and emotional discipline are as important as technical knowledge.
Oxnonso on Web3, NFTs, and Digital Identity
The conversation then shifted to the Web3 space with Oxnonso, who shed light on the growing opportunities for artists and creatives using blockchain technology. He focused on how NFT-based reward systems can empower digital creators.
“Many people think NFTs are just art you sell once. But when you work with Web3 projects, you can earn royalties every time your NFT is used or traded,” Nonso explained.
He added that artists often pitch their work or creative services to Web3 projects, and if their pitch aligns with the project’s needs, they can secure both upfront payments and long term earnings through royalties.
Nonso stressed the importance of building a professional digital identity. “Your social media platforms are your portfolio. As a Web3 creative, your profile and content should clearly reflect what you do. When someone checks your page, they should know your niche and see your consistency.”
He also emphasized the need to learn how to pitch ideas clearly and professionally, noting that good work alone isn’t enough. “You must know how to sell yourself. Your pitch can be the difference between being overlooked and getting signed.”
Bellick Kruz on Networks and Credibility
Bellick Kruz spoke on his impact in the web 3 content marketing space. He spoke on the importance of relationships and reputation.
“I have friends in space, and I’m good at what I do,” he said, implying that both skill and community go hand in hand.
While he didn’t dive deeply into techniques, Bellick’s brief remarks served as a reminder that networking, self-belief, and credibility can open doors, especially in saturated industries like marketing and influencing.
