You are currently active as an actress and TV personality, but what about the world of finance attracted you?
Aida Ai (hereafter, Aida): My parents were traders, and I saw them trading stocks and other things. Therefore, I had a genuine interest in the world of finance from an early age.
Having seen stock and FX trading up close, did you ever think about becoming a trader yourself?
Aida: I had a vague idea that I could make a living as a trader. I actually started trading when I was 18, starting with FX.
Are there any points that you are particular about when investing?
Aida: I studied currencies in graduate school, and I have high expectations for the future of crypto assets, which can be said to be the currency of the future, and have been following their trends since 2017.
Currently, I am the MC for SBI Securities' YouTube show. There is a corner on the show where I recommend my favorite stocks, and I recommended Metaplanet, which has been attracting attention by purchasing Bitcoin.
You can support a company or field through stocks, and I think it's important to invest in themes you like. I'm a big fan of the metaverse in relation to cryptocurrencies, and there was a time when I was a big supporter of Roblox and Unity.
I heard that you researched the relationship between gold and currency when you were a student. Why did you choose this theme?
