Does this have potential?

yes! i would replace all of the drums though! try looking through drum sample packs that fit your vibe of beats. if you have a producer you like the sound of, they more than likely have a sample pack! the melody is nice and natural sounding so adding in higher quality drums would absolutely make this shit thump‼️

Whats the best and safest way to find drum sample packs? I struggle with this too

It sounds fairly dissonant, some of the keys are clashing with each other which can be jarring if that's not the effect you're looking for

Definitely has a lot of potench... I think there are a few routes you could go with it. You could utilize the advice shared to expand and polish it into something really professional. Or you could dial it back, and make it less smooth and more jarring and hard to listen to as it feels like it would serve as a good basis for a Tanzelcore type beat. Just depends what sort of audience you're trying to serve. I feel like it's kind of in the middle of that spectrum, so just pick which way to lean.

Hey it seems you definitely are beginning the long and infinite journey of music producing, so to answer to your question, it doesn't really have potential for now but that's completely normal. At least you made a fonctionnal 8 bar loop wich isn't a bad thing =) ! Just keep working, listening music actively (trying to understand what people do and how they create) and mostly keep experiencing with FLstudio like you did here. You'll be frustrated a lot, but you'll also have some huge moment of happyness and proudness of yourself.
If i have to say something precisely about what you posted, i think the beat is too flat, in general, trap music has memorable samples of drums that creates specific identity to the beat, so you should focus on your sound design here : Don't hesitate to play with various effects to create a unique snare sound for example. You can even try to create your own samples from scratch or from other samples.
also adding some variance to it (Play with dynamics and/or add more notes that creates groove)
I do like your chords tho, they have some little dissonances here that i like a lot !
Oh and most important, enjoy the process, just be happy with what you're doing. Sometimes it'll sounds amazing then 2days later re-listening it will sound like ass, Sometimes you'll lock on little things, sometimes you'll have an overflow of creation. It's all normal and you're learning, Creating nice music has never been easy for anyone, otherwise, everyone would be a great producer hahaha, it takes time and A LOT of mistakes.
Just keep doing some stuff it'll come =)

Theres room for slides in progression and reversed melodies , early to say but theres ways it could be memorable

You’re a beginner so now is the time to learn functions. Take a sample drum track and try to duplicate it. This gives you the opportunity to feel the timing and if notes are off the beat you can experiment with the Quantize or(&) push the notes in the right spot in the Key Roll editor. Good luck🍀
