Special Edition: Interview With Top-Ranked Debank Whale @bizyugo!
Interview below...
Greetings friends!
This is the next installment in our series of weekly (written) interviews with various on-chain gigabrains…
It is with @bizyugo, who has the number one followed wallet on @debankdefi.
For those unfamiliar, Debank let’s you track '‘whale wallets” (or any wallets for that matter), and also ranks them based on how many people follow them + how much they interact with various defi protocols, etc.
@bizyugo has the #1 ranked wallet out of all of them, and is a great dude with lots of wisdom!
Interview
Q. Greetings ser… You have the #1 ranked profile on Debank… and untold degens analyze your wallet for market alpha… yet a lot of folks (including me) don’t know that much about you… is there any (non-doxxing) info about your background you can share? How you got into crypto? The ‘bizyugo’ origin story, etc?
A. In the past, I deliberately chose to just keep my head down and stay passive on my end. But now I decided to change that, that’s why I tweeted all these simplified overview of DeFi projects, as to help newcomers and maybe my fellow crypto OGs.
-
Q. What has it been like being such a prominent user on Debank and having people track and reference your token holdings to such an extent?
A. Well, with the inherent transparency of blockchain, nothing much I can do to prevent people doing what they can in this free-for-all battleground we called crypto space right? So I don’t really put much thought on it and It doesn’t really bother me anyway.
-
Q. What do you think will be the next big ‘narratives’ that shape defi? Are there any specific protocols you’re really bullish on you’d like to mention?
A. Definitely on-chain perp trading protocol and #RealYield. I love what @GMX_IO have been doing and what @rage_trade is building capitalising these 2 narratives. Another thing that I would like to see is the integration of NFT into DeFi. Though I’m not really into NFT but with the huge market, combining them with DeFi could spark into something.
-
Q. Do you think we are past max capitulation as of right now? Or do you think crypto goes lower before it goes back to ATH’s?
A. Things will get worse before they get better.
-
Q. Who are some of the people in defi (founders, CT people, devs, etc) you most look up to/respect?
A. I’d say Vitalik and Sergey Nazarov are two of the people that I look up to. Without them, DeFi as right now wouldn’t exist.
-
Q. What does bizyugo do for fun when he’s not aping into yield farms and spitting alpha on Twitter?
A. I love traveling. Well, even during my travel, I still ape into yield farms and spitting alpha on Twitter.
-
Q. What advice would you give to young dudes just getting into crypto and wanting to ‘make it’?
A. Always focus on the bigger picture by learning as much as you can. Hoard as much knowledge as you can and actually use it to your advantage. I believe people have limited numbers of failure in their life, spend it on your youth. This doesn’t mean you blindly getting yourself rekt. You have to find that balance between risk you can afford and chance of it becoming generational wealth.
-
Q. Are there any projects you’re working on you’d like to mention? Or any platforms beyond Twitter and Debank you use where people can follow you?
A. Shoutout to @rage_trade and @STFX_IO for actually trying to roll out something novel in the DeFi space. Disclaimer I invest in those projects and I’m super bullish on them. I’m trying to be more active on Twitter so just follow me there for some sweet threads. Also, my DM is open, reach out and let’s connect.

Conclusion
Huge thanks to @bizyugo for all the thoughts and wisdom!
Make sure to follow him on Twitter as he has been threadooring up a storm lately! Here’s a great thread he did recently (referencing two of the protocols he mentioned above):
