🇹🇷Türkiye· Hangzhou (China — based)
From teaching English in China to running an AI-powered trading station: a Turkish creator focused on crypto, AI and digital-wealth education.
Tarik Bilen is a Turkish content creator who first built an audience as "Çin'de Bir Türk" (A Turk in China) while working as an English teacher in Hangzhou, where he lived for five years. His YouTube channel, opened in 2015, gradually shifted from China lifestyle content toward NFTs, crypto and online income, and now sits around 267K subscribers with 6.4M+ views across roughly 440 videos, alongside a Turkish-language presence on X (@TarikBln) and Instagram (@tarikbln).
The NFT-boom era, anchored by his NFT Warriors Discord community and Udemy courses, has since given way to a new flagship: Hub AI Trader, an AI-powered trading station that he and his team position as the centre of their ecosystem. His current output blends crypto and AI analysis with digital-wealth and financial-literacy content, and he is deliberate about trust and safety, naming his Telegram channel "I Will Never Ask For Money" as an anti-impersonation, anti-scam signal to his community.
By his own account, Bilen runs a data-driven playbook: through the 2024 cycle he says he publicly signalled capped 3x-5x upside targets and a macro exit around September-October 2025, rotating into stablecoins ahead of a sharp altcoin drawdown. He frames his role in the current market not as a tournament competitor but as someone who builds and scales tools and community around trading.
Interview
YouTube, Udemy, NFT Warriors, Hub AI Trader. Are you building an empire or are you scatterbrained?
Far from being scattered, I am more focused than ever. The projects you mentioned actually represent the digital evolution of my career. YouTube is my flagship platform, where I share transparent, high-value content regarding crypto, AI, and digital monetization strategies with a highly engaged audience. NFT Warriors and Udemy were successful initiatives that perfectly served their purpose during the initial NFT boom. Today, all my energy and strategic focus are consolidated into Hub AI Trader—our AI-powered, free-to-use next-gen trading station. We are not scattering; we are centralizing our ecosystem into one powerhouse.
You taught people English first, then crypto. Is education really your superpower, or is it just the easiest way to catch attention?
My goal has never been just catching attention; it has always been about delivering tangible value based on real-world experience. When I was teaching English, I was actively working as an educator in China. During the NFT phase, I was fully immersed in that market. Today, my team and I build trading algorithms and advanced system architectures—meaning that everything I share on YouTube is an organic reflection of my daily operations. I only speak about fields where I actively skin the game. That authenticity is why our community deeply trusts the brand.
Is there anything about China's work ethic that you can't get out of your head?
China instilled in me an unparalleled sense of discipline and a unique perspective on work ethic. The societal commitment to structure and relentless execution is fascinating. However, the ultimate lesson that redefined my entrepreneurial mindset is this: "If you want to build something, do not wait until everything is flawless or until you feel 100% ready. Just start. You will figure out the rest while executing on the road."
The name of your Telegram channel is "I Will Never Ask For Money." Is this a principle or a wound?
It is an unshakeable, non-negotiable principle. The crypto ecosystem is unfortunately filled with bad actors and copycat scammers trying to exploit retail investors by impersonating public figures. I chose this exact phrasing as a bulletproof shield to protect my community. It acts as an instant psychological trigger for safety, and it has successfully mitigated bad actors while building ironclad trust.
