Tags: Employees, Crypto, Cryptocurrency

Tell the community about your role at CoinBurp?

I am the Digital Marketing and Community Lead here at CoinBurp. Managing the day-to-day functionalities and strategy within the marketing department, liaising with agencies and making sure our communities are healthy and growing. You’ll see me around!

Tell the community about your previous role before starting at CoinBurp?

I was the Digital Marketing Manager at a crypto company called Verasity. The company focused on esports tournaments and preventing fake views via their patented Proof-of-View technology. Which was awesome, got to play CS:GO sometimes at work!

Tell the community about an achievement of yours; academically or in your career?

Back in 2009–2011 I used to be a YouTuber, doing Call of Duty and FIFA videos. I was one of the first people to get a Machinima contract for gaming, which enabled you to start earning ad revenue from your videos. I had 12K subscribers at my peak, to put it into perspective, KSI only had 4K at that time. I was a little kid still in year 8–10 at the time so that was a pretty big achievement.

I quit YouTube in 2011, that’s why I’m not driving around in my McClaren… yet.

Tell the community about your hobbies or interests outside of work?

Absolutely love watching documentaries on the most random of topics. Space, extreme lives, diving, finance, history, travelling, nature — anything. Louis Theroux is the goat. In another life I think I would be destined to be an astronaut.

I also enjoy doing digital design in my spare time. Starting to learn web design as well using Figma, which is fun. I’ve always been a creative person so it’s a good outlet for me.

What is your greatest fear?

Spiders, massive fear. I blame my dad, he’s a big lad but he’s always screamed whenever there’s been a spider. Seriously hate them.

Had to wake my mum up at 4am once before because there was a massive spider in my room, she spent an hour looking for it and couldn’t find it so I refused to sleep in my bedroom for a week. I don’t think we ever found it. I felt bad for waking her up but the spider took my room as hostage, so what else was I meant to do.

I will never go to Australia.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

I’m actually a really chill person, nothing really annoys me too much. My driving instructor told me that I was the “most chill and laid back person he’s ever met in his life”, I should have been less laid back in my driving lessons though, as it took me 4 attempts to pass my test.

What TV show or movie are you ashamed to admit you love?

My girlfriend watches reality TV shows like Keeping up with the Kardashians and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (I think it’s called that). I have absolutely no idea why but I’ve started to watch a bit of it with her, I think I like it a bit now. I seriously have no idea why.

If you had to eat 1 meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Buffalo wings and chips. Hands down. I did a roadtrip across America a few years ago from New York to LA along Route 66. I made it my mission to try buffalo wings in every single state that I went to, and I still do that as tradition everytime I go to America.

I think the total state count is at 14 now.

P.S — If anyone’s wondering, the best ones I’ve had are from Pennsylvania, getting hungry just thinking about it.

If you had to be stuck on an island, what 3 things would you bring with you?

2 crates of Peroni and a laptop so I could play Oldschool Runescape.

If you were to write a book about yourself, what would the title be?

“Bhavtastic”
