David Z. Morris – Crypto Analyst & Journalist. I’m David Z. Morris, a passionate observer of cryptocurrency since 2013. With a Ph.D. in Media Studies from the University of Iowa, I’ve dedicated my career to analyzing the intersection of technology and society, particularly the transformative power of blockchain. As Chief Insights Columnist at CoinDesk, I focus on crypto exchanges and their role in reshaping finance. My work spans major publications like Fortune and Slate, and my book Bitcoin is Magic explores Bitcoin’s social impact. Currently, I also contribute as an editor at CryptoExList.com, expanding my insights on digital finance. Recognized for my research, I provide clear, actionable perspectives on market trends and regulations, ensuring accessibility for all. With the rise of decentralized finance and institutional interest, I remain committed to fostering transparency, security, and decentralization. Looking ahead, I believe crypto exchanges will be pivotal in shaping a more open financial future.
