About Block319

Ben boasts more than a decade of experience in blockchain technology. He holds an MBA from the University of Michigan and is a serial entrepreneur within the blockchain industry.

He was one of the earliest Ethereum miners (before its transition to proof-of-stake) and founded and operated a high frequency trading firm within the decentralized finance sector. Brian also founded and grew one of the crypto industry's most successful retail-facing media companies, BSCN.

James fell in love with the blockchain sector during his time as an undergraduate, studying Journalism.

After graduating, James took his blockchain passion full-time working with countless leading platforms and projects, helping to create marketing and communications strategies.

James has written extensively on practically all areas of the blockchain sector, from NFTs and memecoins, through to regulation and investment.

James believes that the future growth of the blockchain industry lies in its adoption by leading institutions, hence his decision to begin writing for Block319.
