Roberto Porfidia Coll
Built a Minecraft channel to over 100,000 subscribers. Ran his own Minecraft server from 2014. Now runs community and growth at MineX.
What he does
Roberto Porfidia Coll is a co-founder of MineX, where he is responsible for community and growth: reaching Minecraft players, bringing them onto the servers, and keeping them there. MineX was started by Yeray Selva Vallejo, its founder and CEO; Roberto came in as co-founder a few months later, in 2025.
The reason this matters for MineX specifically is that the hard part of a player-owned economy is not the chain — it is getting real Minecraft players to show up and trade with each other. Roberto has spent a decade on the audience side of exactly that community, first as a server operator and then as a creator.

Background
Minecraft server operator, 2014–2017
Ran his own Minecraft server for three years, reaching more than 100 concurrent players a day. Server operation at that scale is where you learn what actually keeps a Minecraft community together — and what quietly kills one.
DestinyPlayS on YouTube, 2017–2020
Built and ran DestinyPlayS, a Spanish-language Minecraft channel, past 100,000 subscribers across 110 videos, earning YouTube's Silver Creator Award. The channel is no longer active — he stopped uploading in 2020 — but the experience of building a Minecraft audience from zero is directly what he does at MineX now.
Medicine, Universidad de La Laguna, 2020–2026
Studied and completed a degree in Medicine at the Universidad de La Laguna in Tenerife, finishing in 2026 while co-founding MineX. Both founders attended the same secondary school in Tenerife, Colegio Luther King San Miguel, and have known each other since long before the company existed.
El Valle Encantado Tenerife Sur SL, 2021–present
Co-owner of a business in the south of Tenerife, held alongside his work at MineX.
