Best is a highly skilled professional with a track record of producing engaging and informative content. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for accuracy, Best is committed to ensuring that each article published meets the highest standards of quality. Best has over six years of experience in the crypto industry and has overseen the creation and publishing of thousands of articles over the years. Best is always abreast of everything that is going on in the crypto industry in order to create and curate the most relevant content for readers. This shines through in Best\u2019s publications, which are always clear and concise, enabling easy reading and understanding for all. Best is also an avid learner and advocate for new technology. This has seen Best dive into topics in areas such as decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), Layer 2 blockchains, etc. In addition to this, Best is a vocal member of the crypto community across various social media platforms such as X and Reddit. Best\u2019s work garners tens of thousands of readers monthly, who rely on the information in these publications to keep up-to-date with everything happening in the crypto community. Best\u2019s articles explore breaking news, intricate systems such as yield farming, liquidity pools, and other decentralized finance (DeFi) systems. This is because Best understands the importance of information to gaining financial freedom and believes that everyone should have access to this information. Best also believes in leveraging the blockchain for philanthropy to create the most positive social impact. This involves work with charitable organizations focused on financial literacy and education. With each article, Best lends a voice to important issues such as a more financially inclusive future, transparent systems for growth and development, and technology that is not self-serving but one that serves all of humanity. When not curating engaging content, Best can be found reading a book with a cup of hot chocolate, enjoying a Netflix series, or exploring the outdoors with Green - the world\u2019s most quiet and well-behaved Husky. Best\u2019s interests also span other industries such as art, finance, and security, attending seminars and conferences in not just the crypto industry but other industries as well. As an animal lover, Best is also involved with charities for animals, local shelters, and rescues. Best is also involved in local events that promote inclusivity, such as being a prominent member of hiking clubs and a cycling club, as well as being a part of a very happy group of animal lovers. Best is a true professional in every sense of the word, with an exceptional dedication to producing high-quality work. This shines through in Best's work on and off the clock. These include advocating for inclusive crypto education for all, the impact of financial illiteracy, and the benefits of adopting new technologies such as cryptocurrencies. Best\u2019s prolific career in the media industry is a testament of how hard work and dedication pays.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/best-owie-41a150178\/\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/BestOwie\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/owiebest\/\"}]}<\/script>\n","yoast_head_json":{"title":"While Broader Crypto Market Holds Its Collective Breath, Whales Are Loading Up On Bitcoin","description":"Bitcoin, likewise other cryptos, have had a hard seven days.
