Charles Adams

Blockchain Marketing Consultant

Charles developed a keen interest in cryptocurrencies at the beginning of 2013. This was sparked by the need for a decentralized, trustless currency in response to the instability of various world governments at the time.

This interest developed into a passion for blockchain. In 2014, Charles used his technical knowledge to establish a cryptocurrency mining operation.

Since then he has been an early adopter and fan of projects such as Lisk and masternode projects such as Rupaya. He is also an avid member of the London crypto community. He has presented and has been a panel member at events such as the Blockchain and Sustainability Conference.
