Axie Infinity and Ronin founder — and Pixels character — Jiho advises investors to buy gaming ecosystems, not just game tokens. Hall of Flame
Most people think successful crypto bros are all about flashy watches and Lambos. But for the co-founder of Web3 tentpole title Axie Infinity, nothing beats insects and butterflies.
I grew up collecting insects and fossils. My dad collects butterflies as well. So I love to be out in nature, Jeffrey Zirlin, better known as Jiho, tells Magazine during an interview in the Philippines. The co-founder of Sky Mavis and Ronin Network credits his unique fascination with rare bugs and natural creatures for drawing him to Axie Infinity.
He came across the Axie NFT project just a month after it launched in 2018, loved the look of the unique creatures, and joined the founding team, helping turn it into one of the biggest Web3 titles to date.
