Hi, I’m Tayler.

Tayler McCracken Journalist, Author, Crypto Writer

Me In a Nutshell

  • Writer, Analyst, Journalist, Head of Content for 99Bitcoins, and previous Editor-in-Chief at the Coin Bureau with over 7 years of experience with traditional finance, stocks, forex, disruptive technologies, and cryptocurrencies.

  • Worked previously as a financial advisor for a major bank before leaving to pursue my passion for providing financial education that is only possible through cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

  • Studied Computers and Information Systems after leaving the financial industry at Athabasca University.

  • Worked closely with many industry leaders across the cryptocurrency and blockchain security fields. I have been recognized as a key opinion leader, lending my insights via multiple quotes, interviews, and online publications, reaching tens of thousands of viewers and readers. My work has been featured in Yahoo Finance, MSN News, Crypto News, The Nasdaq, Fintech Times and more.

I've always been passionate about providing financial education to those who need it most. After finishing high school, I realized just how poorly our education systems equip us for real-world financial challenges. That realization pushed me to dive into self-education, determined to avoid the financial traps that so many people fall into.

Years later, my passion for writing, researching, and educating those close to me on matters of finance drove me to pursue it as a career so I could dedicate more time to something he felt was not only important but lacking in the broader society. I challenged the Financial Advisor certification exams and landed employment at one of the largest banks in Canada. After working in this role for a number of years, I found myself feeling unfulfilled as I realized that the type of financial education that people needed could not be offered while working in the predatory banking sector. I later resigned to continue this passion independently.

It wasn't until I was introduced to the world of cryptocurrency and DeFi in 2018 that I realized I was not alone in this desire for a more equal, transparent, fair, and permissionless financial system that did not aim to further disenfranchise those who don't hold privileged societal standings. I knew this was the platform and framework to continue my crusade with like-minded individuals.

Since those early days, I have gone on to study Computers and Information Systems, pursue a never-ending blockchain education through both formal and self-study, and continuously hone my knowledge, skills, and experience by staying up-to-date on macro and micro trends across the broader finance, tech, economic and political fields.

I have been interviewed, published, and cited in multiple publications and have worked closely with blockchain professionals across multiple sectors. My ultimate goal is to ensure that the highest quality informational content reaches as many people as possible, guiding them on their journey of discovering cryptocurrency and financial education while embracing the revolutionary potential of digital assets.
