Daniel has known about cryptocurrency since 2013 due to estranged friends and family but only started to take it seriously in 2018. After doing some research, he decided to buy Litecoin's LTC coin on Quadriga CX, the infamous Canadian cryptocurrency exchange. The exchange collapsed a few months later (Daniel had considered withdrawing the day before the website went down). 

In 2019, Daniel came across cryptocurrency again while working for a small international business firm that processed legal documentation for high-net-worth individuals, financial firms, and corporations. The email signature for one of the company's clients made a note of a cryptocurrency token that claimed to be back by gold. The cryptocurrency turned out to be a scam, and it crashed precisely on the day it was supposed to reach gold parity.

After moving to Europe at the end of 2019, Daniel became interested in cryptocurrency again due to the bear market rally at the time. In his spare time at his office management job, he researched the top 500 cryptocurrencies by market cap and made a list of coins and tokens that he believed were promising. In early 2020, he began investing in these cryptos and subsequently began working for a Czech crypto start-up called CryptoMood as a marketing manager. One of Daniel's tasks involved reaching out to YouTube channels to promote the crypto start-up's product (a sentiment analysis app used to analyze crypto prices). 

Naturally, one of the channels Daniel had come across during his earlier crypto research was the Coin Bureau. At the time that Daniel reached out, the Coin Bureau had around 15 thousand subscribers. He noticed on the website that they were hiring writers, so he applied. The rest is history.
