Delahunty, born in Lancashire, England, but raised and currently residing in Columbus, Ohio where I attended The Ohio State University studying English and History. After writing in the Fintech and Forex spaces, I began to focus on blockchain and cryptocurrencies \u2014 Bitcoin in particular \u2014 in 2016. Aside from being part of NewsBTC\u2019s journalism team, I am a writer and analyst for Ohio State\u2019s Risk Institute at the Fisher College of Business, and run operations for two local, independent online businesses.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/tjdelahunty"],"url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/thomasdelahunty\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Blockchain and Crypto: Binance CEO Has High Hopes for the Future","url":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/blockchain\/blockchain-and-crypto-binance-ceo-has-high-hopes-for-the-future\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/blockchain\/blockchain-and-crypto-binance-ceo-has-high-hopes-for-the-future\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_383758873-e11.jpg?resize=200%2C200","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_383758873-e11.jpg?fit=3000%2C2000"},"articleSection":"Blockchain","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Thomas Delahunty"}],"creator":["Thomas Delahunty"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NewsBTC","logo":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32"},"keywords":["binance","bitcoin","changpeng zhao","china","cryptocurrency","regulation"],"dateCreated":"2019-11-15T17:00:58Z","datePublished":"2019-11-15T17:00:58Z","dateModified":"2019-11-15T17:00:58Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Blockchain and Crypto: Binance CEO Has High Hopes for the Future\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/news\\\/blockchain\\\/blockchain-and-crypto-binance-ceo-has-high-hopes-for-the-future\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/news\\\/blockchain\\\/blockchain-and-crypto-binance-ceo-has-high-hopes-for-the-future\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/shutterstock_383758873-e11.jpg?resize=200%2C200\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/shutterstock_383758873-e11.jpg?fit=3000%2C2000\"},\"articleSection\":\"Blockchain\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Thomas Delahunty\"}],\"creator\":[\"Thomas Delahunty\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"NewsBTC\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/06\\\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32\"},\"keywords\":[\"binance\",\"bitcoin\",\"changpeng zhao\",\"china\",\"cryptocurrency\",\"regulation\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2019-11-15T17:00:58Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-15T17:00:58Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-11-15T17:00:58Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/wncen.com\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_383758873-e11.jpg?fit=3000%2C2000","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404500"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/521"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
