Chief Editor & Blockchain Technology Specialist
Marcus Chen
My name is Marcus Chen, and I’ve been covering the cryptocurrency and blockchain space since 2016. I graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Computer Science and initially worked as a software engineer at a fintech startup in San Francisco before transitioning into tech journalism.
My fascination with Bitcoin began during my college years when I mined my first coins and realized the transformative potential of decentralized finance. Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to making complex blockchain concepts accessible to everyone. I’ve written extensively about Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, consensus mechanisms, and the technical architecture behind major crypto projects.
Over the past eight years, I’ve contributed to publications like CoinDesk and Decrypt, interviewed prominent figures in the crypto space including developers, venture capitalists, and protocol founders, and spoken at blockchain conferences across North America and Asia. My specialty lies in breaking down technical innovations and explaining how they impact the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
When I’m not analyzing whitepapers or tracking on-chain data, I enjoy hiking in the Sierra Nevada mountains and experimenting with DeFi protocols on testnets. I believe that blockchain technology will fundamentally reshape our financial systems, and I’m committed to providing accurate, insightful coverage of this revolutionary space.
