A Filipino Uber driver turned millionaire, Kookoo Crypto, recently partnered with an online learning platform to teach Filipinos how to earn from Non-Fungible Token-based games.
Kookoo Crypto dropped out of college and served as a waiter and an Uber Driver before becoming a multimillionaire from playing the NFT-based game Axie Infinity. He is also a content creator of the play-to-earn game under his YouTube channel, Kookoo Crypto TV, with 162,000 subscribers.
He learned about this game during the pandemic from an article. This encouraged Kookoo Crypto to download and study the game.
Kookoo Crypto later learned how to breed and increase the rank of his pets or “Axies”, and later sell them to other players for around $50 to $100 each.

For this, he is now an inspiration to more than 15,000 individuals in a gaming community he is managing.
“My story sounds too good to be true, but I want to share to fellow Pinoys how I was able to afford my dream house and how I retired my parents while at home in my sando through playing a video game that I love,” Kookoo Crypto said.
In view of this, he partnered with Nas Academy Philippines to hold an exclusive master class for NFT gaming enthusiasts.
He is expected to share his experiences, strategies and tips on how he earns money from playing Axie Infinity.
Kookoo Crypto’s master class on the online learning platform is titled “Become an Axie Infinity Trainer.” This includes video-on-demand lessons and Zoom sessions where he discusses the crypto ecosystem, the basics of Axie Infinity, how play-to-earn works, complex gameplay strategy, and other pro tips and tricks.
Aside from these, the content creator will also conduct a regular “ask me anything” session to ensure his students are up-to-date with the latest releases of the game.
