Now, our first spotlight is about Alex Saunders from Australia!

Hi Alex, What are your current thoughts about ETH 2.0 and DeFi?

As far as technology goes, many projects now have working products, users, revenue & an exciting roadmap that is starting to increase awareness. But right now many DeFi projects have a similar level of excitement to the ICO boom. We’ve seen 1000%, 5000% or more price appreciation in the past 6–12 months. Whenever that happens it always worries me. So while I’m very bullish on Ethereum & DeFi capturing a market share of traditional finance or CeFi in the coming years, I’m certainly cautious about the price in the short term. We’ve had half a dozen or more 1000% picks from our research for our followers. Recently I told them it’s time to take some profits & look elsewhere…

Can you tell our community about yourself?

I have been immersed in cryptocurrency since discovering Bitcoin in 2012. I have a unique investment style that combines fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and market sentiment as key drivers in decision making. My passion lead me to leave my successful career as a head Pharmacist in 2017, to start Nugget’s News.

I established the brand through a loyal following on my educational YouTube channel and my crypto community discussion group. I started being a trusted voice in the Australian crypto community, conducting many speaking engagements to spread the word of crypto and helped to accelerate blockchain start-ups by applying my years of experience and wisdom.

How would you describe your life outside of crypto?

I am a husband and dad to a 1yo baby boy & a 60kg Bernese mountain dog!

Louie got a bitcoin on the day he was born in 2019. So I coined the term HODLer before toddler.

What is your main passion right now in crypto?

I produce Nugget’s News, a beginner-level cryptocurrency educational content for enthusiasts and investors as well as those interested in financial markets. My content is tailored and distributed to our 100,000-plus followers across YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms.
