Meet Samuel Edyme, or as he’s affectionately known, HIM-buktu. Samuel is a web3 content writer, journalist, and up-and-coming trader who wears many hats and wears them well. With his talent for words and an eye for emerging trends, he has contributed to numerous industry heavyweights, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.
Samuel’s entry into the crypto world is like something out of a movie. His journey didn’t begin with a winning investment but rather with being duped by a Ponzi scheme that accepted crypto. Instead of backing down, he emerged with newfound wisdom and a determination to dive deeper, turning his experiences into over three years of market-savvy analysis.
Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto industry, Samuel was the quintessential crypto enthusiast, diving headfirst into anything that promised fast returns. Through the school of hard knocks and navigating major market events—such as the Terra Luna collapse, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the infamous FTX downfall, and even CZ’s arrest—he has sharpened his understanding of market dynamics.
When Samuel isn’t crafting compelling crypto stories, he’s usually backtesting charts and immersing himself in the world of forex and synthetic indices. His relentless drive to hone his trading skills is matched only by his search for the next big story. Off the screen, he might be found at the gym with his AirPods in, working out to the tunes of his favorite artist, NF, or perhaps taking a nap, or scrolling through Elon Musk’s platform—although, granted, that’s technically more screen time.
As an introvert, Samuel thrives online, embracing digital interactions over face-to-face encounters—(and hey, that’s just how he’s wired). His determination is unwavering, embodying the Japanese philosophy of “kaizen,” or continuous improvement, striving to be a bit better every day. Grounded by the mantras “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” he maintains a resilient and positive outlook on life.
In a few words, Samuel Edyme is efficiency personified, driven by ambition and a touch of intensity. He’s neither pretentious nor impractical and definitely not chauvinistic. Picture him as unshakeable as Bruce Willis in a train wreck. Trading in your car for a jet? Bold, like Samuel. The kind of guy who would ask for a pay cut just to make a point—(uhhh…). It’s like watching your kid take their first steps, or imagining Bill Gates having trouble with rent—okay, maybe that’s pushing it, but you get the picture. Incredible? Yes. Unthinkable? Maybe.
Samuel views himself as a pretty reasonable person, albeit a bit stubborn at times. What seems normal to you might not be his style. The easy path is not for him, and honestly, why should it be? His favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” resonate with his ethos: “What you think’s probably unfeasible, I’ve done already a hundredfold.”
P.S.—Samuel is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even got his DNA tested, and wouldn’t you know it? He’s 100% Him-alayan. As the saying goes, he devoured the competition.
