Lore behind the name 🎬
EPISODE 88.
@merheb
• What’s the story behind your name?
- Quick history: when I joined the space in 2021, I used to go by “MysticMac.”
Then my X account got suspended in 2022, so I rebranded to “Merheb.”
The story behind Merheb is simple. It’s my family name. It has different meanings in Arabic, but one of the main ones is “scary.”
I chose it with pride. I wanted to be the first one in my bloodline to put the name onchain and make money from magic internet money.
• What would you highlight right now among the things you’re building and consider truly important?
- Coming from a tech background, and after working across community, social media, partnerships, business development, and sales, my focus right now is pretty simple:
Helping brands grow through attention, personality, and content people actually enjoy watching.
That’s what I’m building through UGC, streaming, and podcasting with FUNonchain, which I started in late 2024.
It’s a media-first approach focused on real conversations, entertaining content, and making complex ideas easier for people to connect with.
I’m also expanding beyond X, especially through daily prediction markets videos on TikTok. I think the upside there is insane.
Prediction markets feel like one of the easiest and closest ways for everyday consumer to make money online.
On the other hand, I’m also using my network to help Hamieverse grow as an IP, while continuing to develop my sales and closing skills, which I believe are becoming a real need in this space.
