He has a background in finance and technology, and he has written and edited for several financial publications.
With over 2.2 million subscribers, Coin Bureau is arguably the largest crypto YouTube channel in the industry which can be attributed to the high production quality of their videos as well as how well Guy breaks down complex topics into easy to digest information.
Ripple vs. SEC
In this video, Guy brings us up to speed on the history of the ongoing Ripple case, the latest developments surrounding whether or not $XRP (the token for the Ripple network) is a security, and what these developments mean for the rest of the industry. He also discusses what to expect next as the case continues, despite both the SEC and Ripple declaring early victories.
