An Interview With Coach Miranda Miner, CEO Of Global Miranda Miner Group

In the rapidly evolving world of crypto and blockchain, few individuals have made as significant an impact in the Philippines as Coach Miranda Miner, also known as Arlone Abello.

As the visionary CEO of Global Miranda Miner Group (GMMG), Coach Miranda has dedicated his career to empowering Filipinos and global communities through comprehensive education on cryptocurrency, blockchain, and responsible trading practices. With a corporate background in managing international operations for tech giants like Google, he brings a disciplined, process-driven approach to his mission of bridging the financial literacy gap in the Philippines and beyond.

Notably, with GMMG’s recent expansion into Dubai, which is considered to be a global hub for blockchain innovation, Coach Miranda is poised to elevate the financial prospects of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and international audiences, tailoring his proven educational frameworks to meet diverse needs.

That said, UseTheBitcoin got the opportunity to interview Coach Miranda Miner, the CEO of Global Miranda Miner Group (GMMG), during the recent Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 in Manila.

UTB: Can you tell us more about Global Miranda Miner Group (GMMG)?

CMM: GMMG stands for Global Miranda Miner Group. We are a SEC-registered company, and our registration is about educating the community on the nuances and nitty-gritty details of cryptocurrency—not just on crypto but also in trading; the things we need to watch out for from a scamming perspective—really educating the whole Filipino community on how to be effective in the space.

UTB: Through GMMG’s Elite University and initiatives, you have educated thousands of Filipinos on blockchain and crypto. What gaps in financial literacy do you see in the Philippines, and how does GMMG address them to empower the next generation?

CMM: I think there’s a big gap in education today. It’s very important for us to connect the local audience with the right educators. I think the gap there is for us to ensure that everyone among the Filipino traders is educated on the ethos of buying and selling Bitcoin and crypto.

UTB: Your platform emphasizes a “Culture of Malasakit” (Compassion). How do you integrate this value into your teaching methods, and what tangible impact have you seen in your students’ lives beyond trading profits?

CMM: I came from a company called HCL Technologies, and we are servicing Google. I have been the Global Director of Google for a year, servicing Google Ads and Google Workspace. Because of that corporate experience, it allowed me to create strong processes in managing my company [GMMG].

You know, there is a need for us to be able to put a structure on learning design, and that’s what we did in Global Miranda Miner Group. The learning design is highly effective in ensuring that anyone who enrolls in our Elite University progresses from beginner to intermediate, and then to advanced intermediate, with subsequent mentoring. We have a life cycle for traders to ensure that we understand and address the needs of both beginners and intermediates, not just in the Philippines but all around the world.

So, learning design is what I put together in my company, which I learned when I was managing big companies in the past.

UTB: As a member of the Blockchain Council of the Philippines and founder of Innovative Movement of the Philippine Association of Crypto Traders (IMPACT), you have emphasized blockchain education over speculative trading. What are the most promising real-world applications of blockchain you see emerging in the Philippines, and how can they drive economic growth?

CMM: Well, one of the emerging topics today, and that’s been discussed in this particular event, is how to do your real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. I think everyone is going in that direction. You know, the biggest companies in the United States are planning to tokenize energy, and anything from an action perspective. So I think that’s a big thing that we all need to prepare for, and that allows real-world assets to be placed in a digital ledger or digital technology.

I think we need to be able to educate the Filipinos about the use cases at this point—one of those is RWAs, and there’s a lot more. But I think RWA in itself is big enough to be a starting point, because it will branch out to many things from a use-case perspective.

UTB: GMMG recently secured a license to operate in Dubai, a hub for crypto and blockchain innovation. What opportunities do you see in the UAE market, and how will GMMG adapt its educational and trading platforms to cater to Filipinos in this region’s unique needs?

CMM: That’s a very, very good question, thank you. You know, when I was there for the very first time, I did my crypto education for free, and I fell in love with the place and, more importantly, the people. The people there have a natural appetite to become successful. They came from various backgrounds—some of them are engineers, doctors, and nurses. These are not just Filipinos; we also have foreigners attending our event.

One thing I learned there is that everyone has a common denominator, and that is they want to become successful by understanding other things or ways to repurpose their funds into risk assets or even cryptocurrencies.

So, therefore, I see there’s a potential for the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) to even get better. That’s our purpose there in the Middle East—we want to become the vessel of correct education so that we can change their lives for the better.

UTB: Can you share one life lesson you can give to the beginners in this space?

CMM: You have to try. There are a lot of opportunities out there, and sometimes you lose that opportunity because you never tried.

You know, if you’re going to be asking me what’s my advice to my 20-year-old self, I would tell that same person to continue what you are doing because you always keep on asking, you always keep on trying. There’s going to be a time you are going to lose, but it’s okay, because in exchange for that loss, you have gained an experience to become even better in what you do. Thank you.
